Ah. I still have a “gmail” account but it’s entirely for the places that require a Google account now.
As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291

I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it’s truly for backup.
I have mine working with Navidrone without any issues.
There is a Home Assistant app for Garmin watches that is pretty usable. The flashlight is surpassingly, hilariously, one of my favorite features though.
Home Assistant is a great alternative. It gets better and better as all Google and Alexa get worse and worse.
Strava. Sharing workouts, leader boards with friends, challenging friends on goals. Maybe even badges.
What phone functions are you interested in? In theory if you can control it from HA you can control it from Assist. Sometimes it requires a bit more elbow grease though. I don’t use timers much, so I haven’t tried that. I don’t see why you couldn’t create a custom sentence and intent for it though.
I’ve already replaced It with Home Assistant. Wake words are still shaky, but everything else is at least as good if you’re willing to configure it. At least for my use cases.
I like this idea so much. Do the public libraries not have some kind of video service already? Seems like a network of library-powered PeerTube instances would serve that niche really well.
