CSAM Daily Megathread

till now that wasn't an alternative because we didn't need one but now that literally million of people want to switch it's a matter of time

the first thing I'll do is to break the apple ecosystem , I'll start reformatting the backup HDs with exFat (temporarily then switching to ext4) , removing the proprietary encryption and using veracrypt . Then starting to self host services like the pw manager (perhaps with a youbikey) and note sharing . Never used iCloud aside for Apple Pay so that was easy to totally disable it , apple pay was more an hassle then an advantage wearing a (anticovid) mask with faceid so that was a relief.

Then downgrading to Catalina (I hate bigsur) and stay till end of support , same with IOS14

if I had to buy something today I'd probably go for

Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu

deGoogled Pixel4 with calyxOS

but I'd probably go for a 13'' ARM machine with an ARM Linux distribution and the first valid alternative to iPhone that will arise
