Seeing Proton on the list so many times got me thinking. We let Google take over all of our services, and then they got worse and worse. Is there some system in place to stop Proton enshittifying once they've taken over the internet? Especially in light of the CEO apparently being an asswad.

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.

There’s also Norwegian Jotta Cloud for cloud drive.

There is also Aptoide to replace Google's Play Store

It took me a while to understand why some apps/services had a + on top

These lists are consistently bad. To the extent I'm beginning to think it's intentional so people don't like the alternatives and go back to the worst.

Make a better one

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thats actually good idea, might do

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Better yet, make an app

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, I barely know how to design a post, let alone an app😆

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

Same! Come on computer geniuses, make us poor plebs an app, please and thank you.

It does feel daunting to start, but the community is there to help 😊

OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation

Wtf don't recommend BeReal! They've been bought by Voodoo, a shady company trying everything they can to bypass Android/iOS privacy protection

Session and Threema are not good alternatives to Signal

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)

omg again with this propaganda 😱

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...

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 3 days ago

The two main Lemmy devs are European. One of the feddit.uk Admins is also now part of the team.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

They get funds from the EU, so I don't think it's a US organization

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

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:)

Why does everyone recommend Vivaldi and opera is left out? Genuinely asking 🙏

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.
