@cyberlyra I'm gradually working through your #cybercleanse but wondering what you do about e-readers (I'm a bit of a kindle addict).

Instructions for the FINAL DAY of the #Cybercleanse are now online!
How to:
-Locate alternatives
-Engage with open source projects
-Roll your own tools
Together, let's start an #optout social movement -- away from #toxictech and toward alternatives that promise us all a better future.

Today's #cybercleanse #optout #toxictech challenge by @cyberlyra is a tough one. About 5 years ago, I aggressively #Degoogled after being asked how I liked the restaurant. I just came back ... I tried 'e' and 'Lineage', and own a #linux #PinePhone but sadly, some banking apps require genuine #Android. Thus: For #Bike tours and #detox I use my #Nokia; a #filofax #calendar, and a mechanical #seiko watch. Now try to put an appointment in my calendar or to reach me by #WhatsApp

"We think of our devices and data traces as personal, but they link us to many, many different people. Even if you think you have nothing to hide, your traces can always be used to incriminate others, especially when there is a shift in the political environment." -- Day Twenty, Fix your Cell Phone
You can reclaim your data.
Start today.
Do it now, for all of us.

Day 19 of #cybercleanse -- wtf is an open microphone doing in your kitchen?
www.optoutproject.netDay Nineteen: Adios, Alexa! - The Opt Out ProjectLeave voice assistant, alternative, AI assistant, Alexa, Echo, Dot, Home, Cortana, Siri
On Day 18 of the #cybercleanse we repossess all our memories -- er, photos.
https://www.optoutproject.net/photos/
Time to retrieve the archive of your life from other peoples' cloud storage and do so responsibly and reliably.

On Day Fifteen of the #cybercleanse , remove yourself from All The Things.
Delete, unsubscribe, and remove yourself from what isn't serving you -- and from those who are only serving themselves.
www.optoutproject.netDay Fifteen: Trash Unwanted Accounts - The Opt Out ProjectTake out the Trash This is the boring part of the course. Boring but necessary for internet hygiene. Like brushing…
Tedious but necessary: today in the #cybercleanse you will change over your "keeper" accounts to an email mask, a generated random password, and (if relevant) a masked credit card.
There's no need for that information to be sitting in everyone else's cloud or their local databanks, waiting to be stolen or hacked or sold.
It's boring but potentially soothing! Give it a try ...

Step two in deleting your social media: replace the "social connections" embedded in the platform with other forms and sources of connection.
This is how you leave for good. Migrate, transfer, reclaim those relationships from Big Tech and their #toxictech platforms.

This is the weekend to ensure you get off all oligarch-controlled social media. Don't just delete or disable your account, only to be drawn back in by the latest rage. Truly leave it behind --and NEVER go back.
