It’s pretty simple to try Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer: https://better-tech.eu/infra/article/trying-ubuntu/

I made a lot of changes to the original. This is my version:

Fixed. -> https://lemmy.world/post/28360298/16534148

Thanks, that helped me fix it.

(Chrome doesn’t support writing text along a circle, so I had to make a circle with a path-element. I learned way too much about svg in the past hour.)

Do you not see the two BUY EUROPEAN texts in the yellow ring? How are you viewing the svg?

DDG has open sourced a bunch of projects, but I don’t think their actual search engine code is open source. And they use Bing results.

I missed that, but I have added it now. Thanks.

I cleaned it up. I removed a lot of unused content and also all the translations. I made the map smaller so everything fits inside the stars, and removed Belarus. What is left is pretty straightforward and readable: https://better-tech.eu/content/logos/buyeuropean.svg

Added. Thanks.

Added. Thanks.

I will look into Citymapper. Thanks.

HERE is owned by a handful of billion euro companies, like VW, BMW and Mercedes. My guess is they don’t need to make money on their consumer apps, but use them to improve their data for their in-car products.

Please rename the ‘plugin’ section to ‘extensions’ :)

Done.

I would suggest adding uBlock Origin

Done.

I would love to see Organic Maps linked

Done.

With the Linux distro recommendations, you opened a can of worms

I sure did. I will keep your suggestions in mind, but I’m not changing anything right now. I’m in the middle of other stuff, not a lot of time to test these distro’s.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I see what you mean. Is is better now?

Also the links that are :visited are dark purple and not very visible anymore. Consider a brighter colour

I don’t see what you are seeing. On which page and with which browser?

Firefox

I explained that here: https://better-tech.eu/web/article/switch-browsers/ In short, this is the only thing where I believe keeping the web open by using Firefox is more important than using a “European” browser like Vivaldi. If everyone uses a Chrome-based browser, we will end up in an IE6-like situation where it will be extremely hard to create a 100% European browser and get any traction.

Why Ubuntu only?

There are more options here: https://better-tech.eu/infra/article/operating-systems/

Cloud

Cloud computing is always going to be a technical subject, but this is also the part where I still have to do a lot of work and add a lot of content. Maybe I need to make separate pages for home users and for companies to make the information more accessible.

Btw, Infomaniak is mentioned here: https://better-tech.eu/cloud/article/workspace/

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into them asap.

Sorry, done.

That is exactly why I made this page. If you want more details you can follow the links and dive into things, but if you don’t then the options on this page are much better than doing nothing.
