Looking for alternatives to Gmail and G-Drive? Two years ago I switched to #Posteo for emails and to @nextcloud.bsky.social for personal online storage (via #Hetzner). It costs me the equivalent of a good flat white per month & gives me peace of mind that my personal data isn't scraped or abused.

Given what is happening with X, it's a good time to propose for anyone interested to read the "Algorithms of Resistance" by T. Bonini & E. Trere. It offers ways to challenge the logic of the platform, and there is a lot of research backing up the arguments of the book. It's open access too!
