I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...
I like how Lemmy somehow still finds negativity here. Never change lmao.
An internet celebrity in the millions of followers is going FOSS. Cheer up. On the downstream, this may bring Lemmy more users and put more visibility on open software.
“I’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with 😧 MONEY 👻

I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?
For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

i don't want to watch pewdiepie, can someone explain what's his beef here
Just downloaded it and skimmed by frames... Seems to be a list of reasons to degoogle. Mentions privacy, security, and how Google is extending fingers into everyone's privacy by browser, password manager, wallet, phone, etc.
Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.
Really didn't like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn't realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn't exist. It's clear to me he didn't realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.
I hope these days he's realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.

He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I'm actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.
Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.
Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.
