The article discusses the growing concern over data privacy associated with cloud services, advocating for a shift to locally run applications. It highlights several alternatives such as Nextcloud, LibreOffice, and LibrePhotos, which allow users to maintain control over their own data while providing functionality similar to popular cloud services. While these solutions may require some technical setup, the security benefits are portrayed as worthwhile. The author emphasizes that personal data security can be significantly improved by keeping information locally, devoid of third-party access.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about pulling away from the cloud. The idea of a third party having all my information makes my spine shrink.
Something has to give. That something is migrating away from the cloud in favor of locally installed and run services.
You might be thinking, 'That sounds too hard!' Sure, some of the apps... might not be as easy to get up and running, but they aren't impossible.
With LibrePhotos, your data will never find its way to a third-party server.
