One example which was hard for me to remove, at least in bulk: contributions to Google Maps (photos). I also answered survey questions about POI and I dont think they can be removed at all.
All before I discovered OSM....
No need, I am on Enterprise.
I'm really annoyed by this, thanks for verifying. Still bound to a employer laptop which uses Win11 in a Microsoft collaboration setting but eager to learn how to turn it off.
Is this for Home edition and Enterprise as well? 🤔
For my family my setup slightly different for reasons in other comments:
Cwtch
https://cwtch.im/
Decentralized and Open
Participants in Cwtch can host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space. There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”. The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfaces and integrate and interact with Cwtch. Privacy Preserving
All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services. Metadata Resistant
Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available to anyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.
Don't forget to not get K-9 Mail updates also when it's brought in to the fold.
LibreOffice by itself isn't a drop in replacement for Office365.
LibreOffice + NextCloud + Jitsi/Bluebutton + Grafana + bunch of other services together could be.
If NextCloud does the storage / mail / calendaring/ contacts / tasks / notes etc.
And if the hoster ties some loose ends for Forms, Powerautomate, Kanban oh and everything Azure.
Also the reason I pay the €3 monthly fee covering 2 laptops, 3 tablets and 2 phones. Worth it imho.
It consistently drops 20 - 25% of DNS requests.
Thanks everybody, I learned a ton these 2 days. Like a ' jump' in understanding. Not only the specific answer to my concrete question but also on a conceptual level as well.
The thing that makes Linux next level for me now is the extra 'abstraction layer'.
Thing is, for me, digital files always were as tangible as the analog object they represent. A digital document is as 'real' as a paper document. An email as real as a letter. But untill now files where 'real' digital artefacts. And thats ... a bit different with 'virtual' files, sort of.
Anyway, new concepts to explore which is great!
When I let fsearch index from root, it counted 1.9 million files, which baffled me a lot. Before knowing the things in this thread. A typical windows install can have 50k ~ 100k files, but .... 2 million I thought it was insane.
But in this context its something like if LibreOffice Calc had an API and upon start it registers a filesystem with a 'folder' for every worksheet and a 'file' named A1, A2, B1 .... for every cell. Not real I know but a novice way of understanding.
Sound advice, thnx
F-Droid changed the label to Non-Free Network Services because just linking from a POI to a booking site alone (without affiliate linking etc) isn't the privacy nightmare fdroid wants it to.
I could use OM my whole life without clicking links from POI and never is anything exchanged with Kayak or OM.
If one does a booking at Kayak then sure Kayak takes all kind of PII. OM wouldnt know btw.
Non free network label is assigned because OM app is dependent on OM providing mapdata. And one cant change that.
Ow ... this ... just realise its my Windows "legacy-skills" to unlearn ...
Although its indeed more confusing it does explain rather well I cant just "port" my habits from Windows to Linux (Debian Gnome in my case).
Also it gave me hints for more research. Thanks!
Or it comes back the same way but doesn't pose a problem either?
Ah that makes sense, I gave strawberry my Nextcloud path to scan for mp3 and add them to its library.
Notes: Joplin
Maps: OSMand, Organic Maps, StreetComplete, Vespucci, EveryDoor
Music: VLC
👌👌👌 Always liked text reflow after zoom very much! !!!
Like it was responsive before responsive was a thing. Behaviour only native to epub afaik.

One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can "free space", meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.
