[Dutch] Getting Rid of Big Tech : Tweakers community makes complete guide with European alternatives in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Tweakers is a site for computer people, so there is a lot of technical knowledge. "Normies" are probably better off starting at https://better-tech.eu/tldr/ (my site).

Companies (Sony) rising prices globally to cushion US prices in c/[email protected]

You make a great argument for boycotting Sony. If enough people in Europe stop buying their products, that equation will flip and Sony will change course.

If you want to support European search you are better off either using Mojeek (they have their own index) or Qwant/Ecosia (who are building their own engine).

NS also does a good job, so I have created this page: https://better-tech.eu/search/article/public-transport/

Now all I need is the rest of Europe.

I get reasonable results from Citymapper and Mapy. HERE doesn't seem to know that buses exist.

A startpage for the movement (help wanted) (better-tech.eu)
 

I created this page so we can have a link to point people to. What this needs:

  • A short and memorable url.
  • A better design? It's now under my project and thus in the same design, but I would prefer it to be a separate thing.
  • The url in the logo.

Help is very welcome.
