Degoogle + BuyFromEU + Privacy: I’d like to share about my smartphone apps replacement journey:

WhatsApp -> Olvid

Gmail -> Mailo

Reddit -> Lemmy

Play store -> Aurora store (no account needed)

Google (browser and search engine) -> Qwant

Google maps -> Here Wego

Gboard -> Heliboard

All trails -> Komoot

ChatGPT -> LeChat

Any recommendation to replace the following?

  • Google Drive,
  • Google photo,
  • Apple wallet (I’d like an alternative to pay with my phone)
  • elmdahl@lemm.ee

    I agree that tech sovereignty is desirable so that we can’t get blackmailed like Ukraine. I’ve switched almost all my software.

    Perhaps obvious to everyone but it didn’t dawn on me until today add those ratings and reviews to your new apps in the app or play stores to give them a boost in visibility and ranking for people who are less nerdy and less aware.
