@Tutanota : don't forget @nextcloud 👍
@Tutanota I use Proton for private Mail/Calendar, Infomaniak is in evaluation to replace Office365 at the office and Vivaldi is my default browser. I use Threema for messaging - left WhatsApp long ago, even if some friends still just have the Meta-messenger 🤷♂️
@Tutanota Vivaldi is great
@Tutanota I think you mix things up like I also see with the digital Independence Day #diday
Do we want more privacy/security or do we want to get non US products. This may often go hand in hand but not always.
If we focus on European products, gmx is a viable option. From a privacy point of view, not so much.
Your article is mainly focused around European products, hence no signal, I suppose, but you also state:
“sich für europäische Produkte zu entscheiden - wenn es um Big Tech-Alternativen geht ist der wichtigste der bessere Schutz der Privatsphäre!”
You mix privacy with European or assume every European is more private which is not true. Most privacy focused people e.g. recommend signal, which you dont, because US, I guess. This is confusing
@Tutanota Is Tuta more concerned with basing recommendations on what is European, rather than what is private and secure?
@Tutanota Vivaldi should not be listed. It is Chromium-based, proprietary (closed source) software. Recommending it here is like recommending Google Chrome.
@Tutanota You're recommending people use phones and operating systems without basic privacy and security patches/protections while claiming those are good for privacy. Fairphone, Murena and Jolla are not safe options. To promote their products, both Murena and Jolla heavily mislead people with inaccurate claims about what they provide and about multiple more private/secure options. People buying their products don't get crucial patches but are led to believe they do...
@Tutanota Vivaldi is the fucking proprietary malware that is unethical and unjust, and should be boycotted and should never be used.
@GrapheneOS Tuta is mentioning /e/ again, now it's time to re-state your viewpoint.
@Tutanota@mastodon.socia
The EU is STILL trying to do #ChatControl
Maybe talk about that as your number 1 priority
@Tutanota Missing: Ghost.
@Tutanota
Can any of these work on an apple m3 ?
@Tutanota Mastadon, obviously ;-P
@Tutanota Protonmail is probably my favourite so far, they're doing a great job at replacing googlemail, with others services included like password manager, calendar and now docs/sheets in their protondrive!
I just wish they'd be faster at pushing out linux apps and integration, especially for protondrive. I want to sync files on my desktop!
@Tutanota I use Ecosia for a while now and it works pretty smooth 👍
@Tutanota Vivaldi is US and run on US infrastructure #cloudflare #github and probably an #us #hyperscaler
@Tutanota Tuta, Mastodon, and Mullvad @mullvadnet doing god's work
@Tutanota For smartphones and smartphone OS, I suggest to add Iodé operating system from France to your list, where you also can buy smartphones with Iodé OS. @iode https://iode.tech/
@Tutanota Fiskars, definitely. Makes fantastic kitchen and garden tools.
@Tutanota
Ich vermisse Proton!
@Tutanota the amount of unsafe info in the comments is wild.
@Tutanota I was using some apps and like it, but i'm not EU
@Tutanota can't say that it is my favorite yet, but I pre-ordered a Jolla Phone. Hopefully it will be.
@Tutanota full boycott of capitalism is the only correct approach-- or do some people really think some capitalists are special and not prone to doing exactly what maga capitalists are doing now, because they've been allowed to get away with it? Genuinely curious if supporting capitalists seems to some minds to be a great way to deprive capitalists of power.
@Tutanota your competitor Proton is also a good alternative. Punkt is the best alternative to iOS and degoogled android. Incidentally Punkt also supports Proton by default.
What the EU needs is an equivalent to Apple Health / Google Fit, which integrates with Oura, Polar, Suunto, Withings, Yazio, Awareapp etc. etc.
Can they all cooperate to form this cloud data storage, protected by EU privacy, supported by subscription?
@Tutanota yeah, I get it, the main goal of these posts is marketing, but only one option for calendar and email, and from the very first party that produces them, well, thats just weird and off putting imo.
@Tutanota Yeah your hiring policies leave a lot to be desired. EU my ass.
@Tutanota vivaldi, proton, mullvad, filen Among other things, I've never tried anything from Tuta 😞 maybe in the future...
@Tutanota I do like Surfshark for VPN. I didn't even know it was from Netherlands until I recently looked it up. I was about to switch, but I guess I'm good on that one.
@Tutanota As long as it is open-source and the business model does not contradict, it does not really matter where the team is located that develops the code:
Therefore, GrapheneOS is a (I might say, the only) viable alternative mobile operating system. /e/OS' security standards seem to be lacking in some regards while SailfishOS, to my knowledge, is not open source.
My pain point still is the dependency on Google Pixel phones due to hardware requirements. I had hopes for @fairphone working towards this, but it seems it has currently (if at all) no priorioty.
@Tutanota Thanks for the extensive and in depth overview, this really helps 🤦♂️ For anyone who wants an unbiased list of alternatives, try https://www.goeuropean.org/ or https://european-alternatives.eu/
@Tutanota Nothing Company. I am currently writing this post from my Nothing Phone 2 (a).
@Tutanota Once again it's not about being European. It's about enabling freedoms. If one day Europe enshittifies software there as well, people are going to move.
@Tutanota my favorite european brand is @CuriousGoblin 👌
