Autogenerating a Book Series from Three Years of iMessages
I don't think this works with more recent iMessage features, it looks like it only queries the `text` column [0], but newer (i.e. post MacOS 13) require reading and parsing the attributed_body column [1].

Show HN: iMessage-exporter, a full-featured CLI app and library
If you are talking about data missing from the `text` column, for some reason it disappears after you read a message. The content is stored in a binary blob in a different column, which I parse like this: https://github.com/ReagentX/imessage-exporter/blob/c73bc4d66...

iQuit: My Hellish Attempt to Leave Apple’s Walled Garden
As someone who has moved between macOS+iOS and Windows/Linux+Android several times, this is doable. For technical people, it's just annoying. For non-technical people, this probably needs written into a more formal set of steps. If you have the need, one can setup your world to work on both systems transparently, but that takes more work.
Caveats: iOS messages can be kept, but they'll be in files, not your new message app. Photo edits will be lost unless you take extra steps.
Messages: if you are comfortable with it, use imessage-exporter (https://github.com/ReagentX/imessage-exporter) on your Mac to export your messages to disk. Copy to new machine. Validate you got what you wanted! Can also be used to decrease iCloud usage by backing up messages and deleting the originals from Apple Messages.
Photos: three ways. 1) open up the macOS photos app, select all photos, and export them. This will make any JPEG photos much larger than they originally were due to ridiculous default quality settings. 2) If you have access to a Windows machine, install iCloud for Windows, let the photos sync, and copy them to a new directory. 3) Use iCloud's web UI to download all the photos on the new machine.
Mail: pick a new provider. Several ways. 1) Add the new provider account to macOS mail. Copy and paste your emails/folders between accounts. 2) Create an app-specific password for iCloud, use the provider's migration facility (most major players support this and it will move your contacts and calendars).
Calendars: if you are sharing calendars with iOS users or will keep some Apple devices, keep iCloud as your primary calendar system. Use DavX5 (https://www.davx5.com/) on Android to setup a two-way mirror between your Android calendar app. Your email provider may provide calendar mirroring (Fastmail does, for one). If you aren't sharing / using your mail provider, export your calendars to ICS files from Apple Calendar and import into your new calendar app.
Contacts: if you will continue using Apple products, keep iCloud as your primary contacts system and use DavX5. Otherwise, open macOS Contacts, select all, and export to a VCF file. Import this into your new Contacts app.
Documents: copy to a backup drive from the machine, download them from iCloud on the web, use iCloud for Windows for the initial sync. Whatever suits you. If you are using Apple's office apps, be sure to load and save as a more universal format.

Autogenerating a Book Series from Three Years of iMessages
> they'll be encrypted
Since some months (years?) ago, WhatsApp lets you set up your own encryption password for the DB backup. I set one up and used https://github.com/ElDavoo/wa-crypt-tools to get access to the decrypted SQLite and run some analytics over my messages :)

What is the location of WhatsApp's encryption key file?
BUT! Assuming nothing changed in the meantime there's a possible path to sanity now! You can enable end to end encrypted backups and use the hex key (NOT the password), write it down (screen shot it too maybe, although of course be careful where the screenshot ends up, I'm talking especially Google Photos and you care about the Whatsapp backups being encrypted against Google) and that's it, you have the key. You can then decrypt with https://github.com/ElDavoo/WhatsApp-Crypt14-Crypt15-Decrypter

Backup of Whatsapp NOT THE "BACK UP TO GOOGLE DRIVE AUTO UPLOAD"
With either of the keys from above (if using the second option make sure you pick the key that looks as the screen shot from the link, a 64-digit key, not some password you set) you can use https://github.com/ElDavoo/WhatsApp-Crypt14-Crypt15-Decrypter to decrypt.

Navigable chat backup
You can also use the msgstore.crypt14 or something file present in Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases using a Crypt14 decoder along with the key which is the same as the one from Step 1.

Extracting WhatsApp Messages from an iOS Backup
Or you can set your own password on Android, and therefore not require rooting. (WhatsApp gives you that option) I do that for my own backups. Download them via Google Drive [0] and then use this tool to decrypt them [1][2]
