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.“
TIL that Bitwarden is an US company. I love the product but thats a risk
at least you can self-host
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.
Switched to proton pass free from paid bitwarden and gotta say, its just better on so many fronts.
I pay for SimpleLogin and as a result get Proton Pass. I began moving to it from Bitwarden but aborted when I saw it can't manage app passwords. Basically on Android (maybe iOS too) I can sign into apps using Bitwarden.
Proton can log in to android apps? I've got it set as my password manager and it works just like bitwarden. Only reddit hasn't worked for some reason.
Really? I'll try again but when I imported from Bitwarden it stripped out all app related content.
Same
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)
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)
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.
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.
That doesn't use osm. Imo, it is just not as good
Missing traffic updates for smaller countries is an issue with osm
+1, great alternative to gmaps, including traffic and public transport
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 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
Why does it include iCloud, iMessage, and Keychain, but not Apple’s Calendar, Mail, and Maps
Shout out to the Arc Browser
Arc is just Chromium in a trench coat
