(being used as a scapegoat to normalize bullying and targeted harassment towards something you personally don’t like, also being used as the stepping stone to dissolve the transgender movement because a 5 year old saying they’re a cat is justification to invalidate people wanting to kill themselves because they feel like they were born in the wrong body)

Google is going to start scraping all of their platforms to use for AI training. So, here are some alternatives for common Google tools!

Google Chrome -> Firefox

If you’re on tumblr, you’ve probably already been told this a thousand times. But FireFox is an open-source browser which is safe, fast and secure. Basically all other browsers are Chrome reskins. Try Firefox Profilemaker, Arkenfox and Librewolf! Alternatively, vanilla Firefox is alright, but get Ublock Origin, turn off pocket, and get Tabliss.

Google Search -> DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo very rarely tracks or stores your browsing data (though they have only been known to sell this info to Microsoft). Don’t use their browser; only their search engine. Domain visits in their browser get shared. Alternatively, you can also use Ecosia, which is a safe search engine that uses its income to plant trees! 🌲

Google Reverse Image Search -> Tineye

Tineye uses image identification tech rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks to find you the source of your image!

Gmail -> ProtonMail

All data stored on ProtonMail is encrypted, and it boasts self-destructing emails, text search, and a commitment to user privacy. Tutanota is also a good alternative!

Google Docs -> LibreOffice

LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which includes functions like writing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, formula editing and more.

Google Translate -> DeepL

DeepL is notable for its accuracy of translation, and is much better that Google Translate in this regard. It does cost money for unlimited usage, but it will let you translate 500,000 characters per month for free. If this is a dealbreaker, consider checking out the iTranslate app.

Google Forms -> ClickUp

ClickUp comes with a built-in form view, and also has a documents feature, which could make it a good option to take out two birds with one stone.

Google Drive -> Mega

Mega offers a better encryption method than Google Drive, which means it’s more secure.

YouTube -> PeerTube

YouTube is the most difficult to account for, because it has a functional monopoly on long-form video-sharing. That being said, PeerTube is open-source and decentralized. The Internet Archive also has a video section!

However, if you still want access to YouTube’s library, check out NewPipe and LibreTube! NewPipe scrapes YouTube’s API so you can watch YouTube videos without Google collecting your info. LibreTube does the same thing, but instead of using YouTube servers, it uses piped servers, so Google doesn’t even get your IP address. Both of these are free, don’t require sign-ins, and are open source!

Please feel free to drop your favorite alternatives to Google-owned products, too! And, if this topic interests you, consider checking out Glaze as well! It alters your artwork and photos so that it’s more difficult to use to train AI with! ⭐️

Ancestor Log #17: The Nightshade

Descendant: Rhoeas Atropa A cloaked figure that wandered around the vastness of the Garden of Dyhypamani, a place where both life and doom co-existed. An infinite balance of the living, waking world and the dying, eternal nighttime. Sprawling towers of trees, dense bushes lined with vibrant flowers and a bounty of fresh food to go around that mingled with a barren wasteland of forgotten forests, brittle twigs and tumbleweeds, all manners of insect flying about. These two co-existed, unable to harm each other, but able to help each other. THE NIGHTSHADE was the guardian of the garden, forever meant to wonder around, silence floating tall, lush grass to the paling dead leaves. A man who's face was unknown to the masses. Legends state he was "faceless", a man shrouded in shadows and mysteries. No one knew The Nightshade's true identity, no one knew exactly who he was or where he came from. The garden was his home, his everything and his reason for living. And it was his eternal duty to protect it.
