For the love of all gods, stop recommending Proton, it's run by a fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards even more than Silicon Valley tech-bros. You might as well use American companies at that point.
That’s strong accusations and the first I’m hearing of that. Do you have a source? Because the only controversy I know of is that their CEO praised Trump’s pick for attorney general for the antitrust division a bit too enthusiastically. Which is not a stellar look but that does not make him a „fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards.“
The only place people are throwing up the whole Proton / Trump controversy is Reddit and Lemmy. Lemmy is particularly worse. As bad as the endless scrolling of Linux praise and Windows bashing.
There's an article somewhere where someone did a deep dive and ultimately concluded that the Protons CEO views do not coincide with that of Trump or his party.
It took me a while to understand why some apps/services had a + on top
That’s how i came and register from reddit just like 5 mins ago and this is my first ever comment.
SAME ! ～(つˆ0ˆ)つ｡☆
OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation
(there's the open source free full version on F-Droid)
AFAIK HERE WeGo is an European maps app too.
These sharepics are simply not exhaustive. Having example alternatives and then pointing to one of three comparison websites, might be a better approach. But this would also be more convoluted.
+1, great alternative to gmaps, including traffic and public transport
That doesn't use osm. Imo, it is just not as good
TIL that Bitwarden is an US company. I love the product but thats a risk
It's also self-hostable and FOSS.
Is there a concern there is going to be a tech trade war?
You never know
What's the risk? That they would shut down operations randomly in the EU?
That they are forced to implement a backdoor for US authorities.
at least you can self-host
Switched to proton pass free from paid bitwarden and gotta say, its just better on so many fronts.
Most of Session's developers are Australian.
They moved their product to Switzerland because the Australian government started raiding them.
They seem to be a cool bunch but for some reason don't want to implement some wanted privacy features.
I like so much about it in concept but Oxen feels like a grift, like it's trying to be Onion Routing but by Crypto bros.
Maybe they'll reconsider and switch to a non crypto bro onion network. Or some people take it up and remove it.
Ugh. I JUST started using it.
Well moving to Switzerland is a good move. But that doesn't mean the developers in Australia are completely safe from their government.
Them removing Perfect Forward Secrecy is detailed below. I don't really have an opinion on it, but many people say it's not a good choice.

I still have hope for the project, although I wish it got completely decoupled from the crypto aspect. They think that people won't support the network if there was no incentive, and that they themselves will not earn money from donations and other stuff. In reality the incentive makes it so you'd have to stake €700 (last time I checked on previous network) to add a node to the network, making it very hard to help out with cheap servers. And them having the crypto aspect does not make me want to donate.
The built-in onion network and anti KYC is pretty amazing. They also have offline message queues which many P2P projects lack.
My hopes are still up.
Check simplex, I think its much better
And I read there are some issues with their crypto implementation
Wtf don't recommend BeReal! They've been bought by Voodoo, a shady company trying everything they can to bypass Android/iOS privacy protection
There’s also Norwegian Jotta Cloud for cloud drive.
There is also Aptoide to replace Google's Play Store
Mapy.cz is an absolute must for hiking in Czechia and Slovakia, Google maps isn't even close. Not sure how the situation is in other countries though
Curently trying it as my daily driver and it does pretty good job too
Mapy is great for hiking outside of Czechia and Slovakia, I use it a lot in the Netherlands! I had to stop using the navigation tough because I ran into some issues with it.
Outside of Czechia mapy just uses openstreetmap data, that is why it works so well for hiking
I can vouch for the Kdrive/Kmail from infomaniak. Great service for the price, the switch was almost seamless (with gmail forwarding to my @ik.me mail)
Why does everyone recommend Vivaldi and opera is left out? Genuinely asking 🙏
As of the end of 2023, Opera Software was 72.4% owned by Kunlun, a Chinese public company, making it a subsidiary of that company. Opera CEO Zhou Yahui is a controlling shareholder in Kunlun.

Magic Earth, unlike Google Maps, not only offers you to show the known speed limits. It shows you radar traps.
I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?
It's still federated so I guess it doesn't really matter much, but still...
The two main Lemmy devs are European. One of the feddit.uk Admins is also now part of the team.
They get funds from the EU, so I don't think it's a US organization
That's a good one
Maybe I'd add airvpn too, but either way, a good guide
(Among others I have filen, protonmail, simplex, matrix, lemmy, keepass, lemmy and organic maps:)
good luck with the pale moon extension support
omg again with this propaganda 😱
Shout out to the Arc Browser
Arc is just Chromium in a trench coat
Why does it include iCloud, iMessage, and Keychain, but not Apple’s Calendar, Mail, and Maps
