The image shows an overview of popular (mostly American) digital services alongside their suggested European alternatives. At the top, "europick.eu" is written in blue letters, and in the top-right corner there is an icon of the European flag with a hand cursor. The image is organized into four rows. Each row displays a well-known service or tool on the left, followed by an arrow pointing to an alternative on the right. Both the original and alternative are represented by their recognizable logos and their names underneath. Here is a summary of each row, from left to right: Gmail → Hosting.nl Google Photos → PixelUnion Google Search → Ecosia Google Chrome → Vivaldi Google Maps → HERE WeGo Google Drive → Nextcloud ChatGPT → Ollama No VPN → NordVPN Samsung SmartThings → Home Assistant Each service is represented with its logo and name.

Warning: this is in fact a sub-toot.

A viral article about « getting off US tech » that mentions email, office suites, music and video streaming services, search and maps… but NOT the publishing platform where the article was posted.

Spoiler alert: it was Substack - the enshttf*ed Nazi bar supported by A16Z that platforms and profits from far right content.

Substack alternatives: Ghost, Wordpress, BeeHiiv, Buttondown. I use Ghost & Wordpress and LOVE them
