There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn’t bother to find out what database it uses…

Linux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It’s nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.

These are nonprofit projects that don’t seek to monetize from you because you’re not the product.

The only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you’ll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.

The problem will be to convince your friends and family to use Signal, and that’s really not obvious.

I’ve been building computers since 1999, and I’ve noticed that the industry is cyclical. I’ve purchased CPUs from both Intel and AMD. We need Intel to succeed, otherwise AMD will dominate the x86 processor market.
