📻 A small office, with a cute vintage radio! Inside an abandoned house, somewhere in Belgium.

An old, dusty radio sits on a worn wooden cabinet in front of a faded, moldy wallpapered wall.
Abandoned room with moldy walls, dusty checkered floor, two ornate wooden desks covered in papers, large window with blinds, and vintage armoire.

Microsoft just pulled a classic bait-and-switch tactic by ending free #Office licenses for NPOs. 😡
Don't let Big Tech lure you into their platforms with their "free" offerings. Open source alternatives like Linux + Tuta put YOU in control. ✊
Because you deserve better. ❤️

Google Drive is as unpleasant to use as Google Docs is pleasant to use.
It seems to be the opposite for FOSS solutions.

I just used this Windows 95 VM to install Office 95. Unfortunately, it doesn't have "Clippy" yet. I think he was introduced with "Office 97". Sad retro noises....

Alternatives to Big Tech/Big Data:
Windows, Apple, Google -> Linux (Debian, Fedora, Mint, Arch...)
Microsoft Office -> LibreOffice (Only Office would also work, but the founders are Russian, who knows...)
Google Android, Apple iOS -> Pixel with GrapheneOS, Fairphone 6 with /e/OS, Brax 3 with iode OS/Ubuntu Touch
OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. -> Nextcloud, MEGA, pCloud, Proton Drive
Outlook, Gmail, etc. -> Proton Mail, Tutanota
Airdrop, Link to Windows -> Localsend, KDE Connect
WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage -> Signal, Element, Threema
Google Search -> Ecosia, Qwant, Startpage, Duckduckgo
YouTube -> Peertube, or as an anonymous YT client: Freetube and Newpipe
Instagram -> Pixelfed
Facebook, X (Twitter) -> Mastodon, possibly Bluesky
Truly secure and anonymous VPN: Mullvad!
This is just a first overview of the most important alternatives for switching. Feel free to continue if needed!
