Being in the Privacy community, I’d say microG is the superior solution to have the functionality you need without giving google access to your device.

their website shouts “scam”, but maybe they just have poor taste.

they give a pretty weird answer about audits in their FAQs. I’m not an expert, but I wouldn’t trust them compared to Mullvad which I currently use.

it seems I know it better than you though.

actually it’s the opposite, or at least some of them don’t consider themselves Italians.

this is not how Italy works…

there are also journalists between the people who were spied.

Bro you don’t need to pay to use the internet and even if you pay Google they will steal your data, so what’s your point here?

A free and private internet

Recruit? Do you think I am trying to recruit you, dear?

Is that you?

We are talking about a techno-fascist company serving a fascist genocidal government. I’m sorry but I don’t even remotely care about your needs.

Anyone serious about privacy doesn’t use Google apps when the only reason to use them is laziness and being too used to Google’s environment and/or being victim of FOMO.

Sorry to break it down for you.

Also if your degoogled phone has Google Play Services installed you haven’t done much, so I hope at least you are using microG or something.

Organicmaps is one single alternative.

Traffic data is critical for what?

Also there are more alternative to YouTube than that.

“Ad free free options” doesn’t mean anything, FOSS apps and decentralized services are the way.

And I don’t know what you are talking about with root access.

There are alternatives to Maps and ways to use YouTube that don’t benefit Google.

Don’t be a lazy ass, this is basically a war.

Boycott Google.

A real sociale life, plus the help of a psychologist, will yeld better results. The second will be useful not only to improve your social life, but also to help with what seems a paranoid approach to this matter.

I have already explained you that you do not need anonymity to protect your privacy and that it’s pretty easy to blend with the crowd so that your online activity becomes pretty useless to anyone, even though it could still potentially be traced back to you.

A (paid) VPN allows you to use stuff like discord without compromising your privacy, as long as you don’t share personal informations. Mullvad, for example, lets you even pay with cash.

There are private mail services, paid ones, from companies that value their customers’ privacy. I think a couple of them that I’ve checked accept cash payments too.

These are just a couple examples of services for using the internet without compromising your privacy. There are tons of sources to research deeper in the topic and decide what you need to achieve your goal.

There’s also nothing wrong in being the “weird” one in your circle that doesn’t use WhatsApp, or that doesn’t save contacts in the phone. In my opinion, at least.

Remember you don’t need complete anonimity to protect your privacy, you just need to blend with the crowd and NOT give away personal sensitive data like you are doing with questionable services like chatGPT.

Mate, I don’t know why you feel the need to argue about this, I guess this is just your thing so I’ll play along.

If you think “talking” to chatGPT about your problems is something healthy, think again. Quitting such a bad habit and talking to real people addresses both the loneliness problem and the privacy problem.

Also if you think that suggesting someone to look for professional help is like telling them to “walk it off” I would suggest you to get off the internet for today because you have clearly exceeded the recommended daily dose.

He said he’s “trauma-dumping on chatGPT” and that he can’t stop. I literally cannot think of anything more helpful than what I wrote.
