I’m slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you’re using! 👌

    The graphic format doesn’t do much for those looking to learn, if I don’t already know the non-google icon or app this doesn’t help. I understand the point of the post is to drive discussion but if the whole broader goal is to help people switch listing it out in text or labeling the icons at least would make it as useful as the other breakdowns we often see here that have lists by app/category are more useful.

        I find that lists like this are often on GitHub, so it’s worth adding that site to your search

        Here’s an example by Tycrek

        Edit: found another by Pluja

        You’ll see overlap on the lists for good reason

    Highly recommend Tuta instead of proton.

    Proton has removed themselves from Mastodon after one of their heads sucked off trump and the Republican Party.

      Tuta looks fantastic! Their 500gb option is also quite reasonably priced at the moment. Thank you very much for sharing this!

        I was part way through switching from Gmail to Protonmail when their CEO started brown nosing Trump. I’m tossing up between Tuta and Kmail.

    TickTick is Chinese and Nobody should use it. They have full access to your calendar, todo lists and so on. Don’t organize your life in a Chinese owned app.

    What is the YouTube alternative? That’s what I’m struggling to find. I found PeerTube but couldn’t find much I’d like to watch.

    ETA: I like videos like Veritasium and VSauce, Tom Scott, those kinds of things.

      My YouTube alternative: still YouTube, but I screw them out of ad revenue with a dedicated account and third party apps
