I transitioned to #GOS recently, it is such a liberating feeling.
I took the additional step of never running Google Services Framework on my ‘owner profile’ and using only apps that are #FOSS or don't require GSF.
I have another profile for the occasions when I need to use such apps requiring GSF. This slight inconvenience is a good way of making me think twice about installing apps and which ones, if I do.
It’s definitely a journey with a fair few workarounds… for instance, I haven't found a good backup solution for data held by apps so I have installed Protonmail’s Drive which auto sync’s photos to the cloud.

Low #privacy and high #security is what you call a prison! #freedom fighters need to unite or sacrifice our children to glass prisons and not have the ability to think critically for themselves. Let's take a look at Australia's centralisation of power:
1. Australia introduced world-first laws mandating electronic providers to code "backdoors" into devices sold in Australia, or apps used in Australia, that can be accessed at any time by law enforcement.
“The Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018 (the Assistance and Access Act) equips agencies with the tools they need to effectively operate in the digital era and keep the Australian community safe. The Assistance and Access Act introduced some key reforms to help its agencies access the evidence and intelligence they need by:
• enhancing industry cooperation with law enforcement and security agencies
• improving agency computer access powers.
2. The Currency (Restrictions on the Use of Cash) Bill 2019. The purpose of the Bill is to create offences where an entity makes or accepts cash payments of $10,000 or more. Cash includes both physical and digital currency.
3. The first country in the world to install an "eSafety Commissioner" to clamp down on free speech of Australians—who also believes Australia's laws should be mandated outside the country on social media platforms. (The eSafety Commissioner is unelected, isn't an Australian citizen, and was formerly offered a job by the CIA)
4. Digital ID (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Bill 2023 The Digital ID Bill will put in place the legislative framework to create an economy-wide Digital ID system in Australia.
The Bill will strengthen an Accreditation Scheme for Digital ID service providers and enable the expansion of the Australian Government Digital ID System to states and territories and, in time, the private sector.
5. Then we see whistleblowers put in jail... https://hrlc.org.au/news/2024/05/1

To embrace self-sovereignty, start by reducing reliance on big tech and enhancing your online privacy. Control your data, use decentralised platforms, and protect your digital footprint. #Privacy #SelfSovereign #Freedom

As long as you run a full node you will be one of the guardians of the #bitcoin protocol.
You will have the ability to
transmit valid tx
ban / filter out invalid tx
allow new joiners to download the blockchain from you (if you allow incoming traffic)
represent an obstacle to unreasonable “upgrade” by not upgrading.
more #private about your own transactions and verify everything from scratch yourself without having to trust a third party node.

Thanks to Ministry of Nodes' guide I have been running a full node flawlessly for two plus years https://www.ministryofnodes.com.au/ubuntu-node-box-guide-2022 #privacy @npub16uu…x0h6 DONT TRUST VERIFY

I'm in a similar boat, what is it you need about LinkedIn? I'd love your feedback as I'm trying to scope out the possibility of a nostr powered alternative to LinkedIn.

Join a local Bitcoin meetup. ✅
Joining a local Bitcoin meetup, I think is an excellent way to learn more about Bitcoin and meet other Bitcoin enthusiasts. By attending these meetups, we can learn about new developments in the Bitcoin space, share our knowledge with others, and make valuable connections.
If there are no Bitcoin meetups close by, remember it only takes two to make a Bitcoin meetup! If you make it, eventually they will come.

I'm on a personal quest to become an ever better bitcoiner...
I hope posting these achievements will inspire others and also act as a reference point for a combination of education, responsible investing, and active participation in the bitcoin community.
