Yeah, this is “common knowledge” here, unfortunately. As a Greek, I can’t even tell you how ashamed I am of all this, and unfortunately it’s only going to get worse with all the shitty conservative and far-right parties we elected a few days ago.

RARBG really left a big hole in my heart.

I’ve degoogled my life as much as I can, but it’s almost impossible to completely ditch Google Maps, YouTube, and Android. So I’m not even sure I’ve done anything significant, because I assume they get pretty much everything from my phone.

I’d love to have everything in FLAC for preservation’s sake, but I’ve settled for Apple’s QAAC. Great quality, small size, universally supported.

Closest thing I know is Fedilab, which works with Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed and Friendica. While compatible with each other, each fediverse service uses different parts and features of ActivityPub (the protocol they all share). It’s technically possible to build an app that does it all, but doesn’t really sound sensible.

Brave because it has great defaults out of the box, and it’s Chromium, so all websites work as intended.
I wish I could recommend Firefox or LibreWolf, but their performance isn’t nearly as good.

I suggest you convert them to AAC with Apple’s excellent QAAC encoder instead. fre:ac can do it just fine once you add the encoder. Much better and more modern format than MP3, and still universally playable.
