@fastidious The solution is what I’m doing now 👌
Self Hosted.
We need to build alternate solutions to what so many have become accustomed to but thrown away they’re privacy and freedoms in the process.
And re-educate the masses on data security, privacy and ownership.

@prologic \nAbout self hosting? You cannot self host everything. Not everybody can do self hosting, nor is willing/wanting to do it. My iPhone works so well, because of the services Apple provides behind the curtains, services I can’t self host, nor even in my dreams. \n\nIt is Stallman naïve. ☺️ But… IMHO.
@prologic no worries. Disagreeing and cohabitating, regardless, makes us human. 😊
@prologic I think we’ve been hosting most of our own stuff for a while now. I like that my children’s photos are not on someone else’s server.
It's true not everyone will be willing to do it, that's fine.\n\nBut possible to self-host everything yourself _if_ you're willing? Absolutely. I got my missus and myself off Google docs and calendar etc and on to my Nextcloud instance. Files, tasks, calendar etc are now all sync'd and controlled by something we, well, control and know where the data is going. \nI do the same with my RSS feed and even my KeePassXC database file, meaning synchronized passwords on any device. I've had a great experience so far.
Granted I wish Nextcloud itself wasn't a PHP driven behemoth, but that's another story 😆 But it has made a lot of that transition off typical cloud services easy.
@eldersnake I agree and I do the same, I've built up infra (_albiet a lot more over-engineere_) over the course of some ~10+ years or so and still continue to improve it all the time. The only things I have left to solve are some kind of Dropbox like thing, Docs and Celendar/Events sharing/collaboration. NextCloud for me doesn't cut the mustard for me.~
