Love it! Do you have it in a better quality so that people can print it out and distribute in person?
Also, would you be willing to share the source document, so that people can translate into other languages (and adapt the product lists to make it more relevant for their country)?
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.
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.
Isn’t booking.com a European company?
It's based in the Netherlands but the parent company is American.
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.
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!)
This sounds exactly like the other side of the "Make America Great Again" coin, MEUGA
Maybe take a second look at recommending Proton Mail
I mean... It is European...
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 (even tho it's American) 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
They are owned by the American Block Inc., so that's something to consider.
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.
What’s a good AWS alternative?
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.
