… Installed Graphene OS and deleted my Google account. May not seem like a big deal to some, but it was a project long in the making. Decoupling from cloud services / apps that are dependant on GAPPS is surprisingly difficult. It felt really good to delete my account in the end.

    If you don’t have a lot of photos or videos, Stingle photos is also a great open sourced alternative to google photos. The paid plan is also pretty affordable. I personally just have a 64GB USB for everything, but there is still some benefit to having something in the cloud.

      I personally just sync everything to my lappy now. Not as great as something that’s always on, but it works.
