For links, I use Pocket (you can use Wallabag, but I find the interface not efficient at all). For files, you can sync a folder with syncthing (but you only switch it on when you want a quick sync, otherwise keep it off for battery). If you just want to put some file on your phone, install FTP server (free) from F-droid and switch it on when you need it (there's even an optional switch on quick actions). Use Filezilla or any file browser (if on Linux) to exchange your files. Remember to switch the server off once finished, because FTP is not a secure protocol.

Install LineageOS or e/os/ on your phone and bye bye Gemini ๐Ÿ™‚

Nextcloud was too slow and bloated for me. I used Seafile for years and it was fine, but at some point I went to some more simple setup : sftpgo to share folders (sftp, dav) and syncthing for the folders I want to sync between devices. You can also set ignore lists in syncthing to ignore large dirs. Keep it simple stupid ๐Ÿ˜…

No offense, but I suggest you talk to a psychologist about this ๐Ÿ™‚ I and many other friends did over here, and it really helps to unlock your full potential (everyone has different problems).

Why won't you be able to create two accounts?

I agree. I don't use it for these reasons. But technologically speaking, it's an open source alternative.

There's Peertube as an alternative. It lacks some content, but the platform is on par. It is developed by a French association called Framasoft. Thus said, you're right, Youtube is still okay, even thus there are some fake videos and scam, but they are easy to avoid.

I have no idea, but I'm also interested. Thus said, remember that's only inside EU. I remember that Meta said they won't apply this outside EU.

I agree ๐Ÿ™‚ There's also a lot of lobbying inside EU, but there's more citizens resistance (for now...). As we say about capitalism: privatize profits, share losses.

I don't think so. The reverse is even happening as there are way more restrictions inside Europe for Europeans companies. The result is that they are less competitive, but more respectful for EU citizens (but unfortunately, outside companies don't always have to respect this, for now).

Why don't Americans put pressure on legislation like Europeans did with the GDPR?
