Oddbean new post about login | logout The fact that I have to log into *everything* with Google (like Zoom, to make the whole meeting-cal stack work efficiently) is the reason I can’t quit the Google 😡 😢 Yet.
This is a terrible monopoly and a prisoner. 😞
Google just whores us too
Exactly. And it’s good that we are being able to observe this particularity of seeking ways in #nostr to change this panorama!
Efficiency are the shackles.
It’s like there’s no other option most of the time
There are plenty. I've almost entirely ditched Google. Most apps have a "sign in using email" as an option. There are alternatives to all Google services, although some aren't as good (maps being the one no one competes well against). In fact, I can't think of a Google app/service where there isn't an alternative.
