Don’t use their spyware use ours!
There’s lots of questionable companies on both sides of that list.
Blender should be on there as an alternative to many Autodesk and Adobe products
What’s the best replacement for google workspace?
I applaud the effort in this list but at times it looks like comparing apples to oranges. You can’t replace workspace or m365 with any of those things unless you’re not really using it fully to begin with. People use it as groupware and you can’t replace that by stuff like libre office. I’ve dabbled a bit with zimbra but to think an average user like my friends and family could do this is even more silly.
I wish I had the time and money to literally set up a cheap groupware solution for people but realistically the effort put into that scales so hard it doesn’t make sense unfortunately.
Conspicuously missing. Technically the nonprofit foundation behind signal is American but it’s open source so it doesn’t really ‘belong’ anywhere.
Backend is AWS though.
fuck Spotify though
Deezer used to be better until they blocked my access because I had to turn off my adblocker; I had a premium account at the time so sure I’ll turn it off (a bit weird that it still asked), but it kept blocking my access…
It started blocking Firefox’s built in tracker blocking… Even for Premium accounts!
I’ll sail the high seas for anything not on Bandcamp at that point, fuck!
Tidal has been pretty good for me! Their Android Auto interface is horrible but I don’t use Android Auto anyways so no biggie
Isn’t booking.com a European company?
Maybe take a second look at recommending Proton Mail
How about this? https://archive.ph/xoleo
I mean… It is European…
TIL there is an electronic company called ‘Nothing’.
It’s Carl Pei, the OnePlus guy. They look kinda neat, but update support isn’t great, I think.
I feel a lot of appliance brands are missing but for some reason I can’t think of any.
Also, many chocolate brands including Lindt, Tony’s Chocolonely and Ritter Sport (didn’t forget this time!)
I agree with the spirit but do not consider Viaplay especially if you are in the Netherlands. The price you pay for the absolute lack of quality you get and their unfair monopolising of licenses are ridiculous.
For mail and cloud services, I also highly recommend Infomaniak !
Basically a replacement for Google Docs (and integrated Web editor that even support draw.io files) , Emails, Teams, and website hosting including.
This sounds exactly like the other side of the “Make America Great Again” coin, MEUGA
And what if we also wanted to boycott the OG Nazi firms?
Funny thing - Ford is on both lists.
