    Almost a year ago, I blogged about the apps I use (or recently did but might be useful to others) and my story of liberating myself from Big Tech. It's mostly in prose form, but ends with a nice list of apps I use on my de-Googled Android (now Pixel with GrapheneOS).

      Thanks for sharing! It's a great read, I enjoy the writing style! Found a bunch of cool stuff to look into!

    How good is Nextcloud's file syncing? Is it usable for gigabyte-size libraries? How gracefully does it handle conflicts?

      Thanks, but I prefer open stuff (as stated in the article), so I'd rather use something like ollama or similar provider on a consumer-grade graphics card that I can use for other purposes too.

      Some feedback on your website: The AI-generated cover image looks really awful, nothing makes sense. And your website makes my laptop sound like it's trying to compile LLVM. Both is a strong turn-off for me at least.
