#eualternatives — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #eualternatives, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Important contribution by #HateAid to #rp26, reminding us how civil society needs robust #EUAlternatives in tech, finance and social media to maintain their independence.

    #Europe needs to stay united, apply its the tools like the #DSA consistently. The adversities we face indicate to me that we are on the right path!

  2. Anyone know a #plant identification app that is #privacy friendly and for #eu plants? Does not have to be free. #EUAlternatives

  3. One more step towards EU tech! 🇪🇺
    I've moved my site from GitHub Pages to Codeberg Pages.
    All processes and parts – writing, building, and hosting are now in the EU 💻

    #eutech #EUAlternatives #codeberg #codebergpages

  4. And if you’d like an European alternative to Framework or Dell laptops, then Tuxedo Computers and Slimbook are your strongest options. #framework #dell #linux #EUAlternatives #EU

  5. Have been exploring #EUAlternatives to US #AI
    #LeChat and #Lumo are both quite decent, thus far, for fairly light research usage.

  6. Which category should we expand next on only-eu.eu?

    Current gaps we are aware of: AI tools, design software, CRM, developer tools.

    But maybe you are looking for something else entirely. We built this directory for people who want European options. So: what European software category do you actually need?

    Reply or boost so others see the question.

  7. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud hold 70% of the European cloud market. All European cloud providers combined hold 15%.

    SAP and Deutsche Telekom are Europe's largest cloud players. They hold 2% each.

    We outsourced our digital infrastructure to three American companies and called it modernization.

  8. What are sensible alternatives to GitHub for personal use if my code is shit and I want to use private repos? Preferably in EU.

    CodeBerg seems to be only for public projects where people are not ashamed of their code.

    Should I just self host? #git #github #eualternatives

  9. I signed the Rebuild letter. It's a call on everyone committed to #Europe and European social platforms to take action — and rebuild the #socialmedia universe to give us ethical options. You can sign it too: letter.rebuild.net

    My Personal Journey
    My personal journey began in 2024 and is still ongoing. It was difficult, but I completed the transition in about a month. It is a path of decolonization and liberation from the slavery of Big Tech and US companies. I hope this list can inspire and help someone on their path to digital, hardware, and web freedom!!! Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

  21. This is a list of ICC judges and prosecutors currently under US sanctions for performing their duties.

    These individuals are unable to travel to the US, use Visa or Mastercard, make USD transfers, utilize US-based shipping services like UPS, shop on Amazon, or generally be customers of any US company.

    If you were to be sanctioned by the US tomorrow simply for doing your job, you would find yourself in the same predicament.

  22. I'm tentatively heading in the direction of choosing #Fluxer as a replacement for #Discord. It's a bit rough and it will be interesting to see how well it can scale. Its a solo project that has a freemium subscription business model, not using your chat to train AI and sell personal info.

    The user interface is similar enough to Discord that it shouldn't be that hard to get started. I haven't looked at the bot API yet, but it supposed to be very similar to Discord as well and reading through the privacy policy, there's nothing too offensive that I see. The company/dev is based in Sweden and intends to comply with EU laws.

    There aren't a lot of good alternatives, that are usable today and the fact that #Fluxer is open and should be possible to self-host is enough to draw my attention. Now to convince my friends to switch...

    If you're looking for an alternative to Discord here's my vote: fluxer.app

    My response to The European Commissions call for feedback on Open source.

    Sharing it because we need the conversation to continue.

    Cross posting from Lemmy because of character limits here. If I write something like this again I should probably set up a webpage instead.

  27. I'm based in the EU. Because I have a Vivaldi account, I have a Vivaldi Social account (server in Iceland, I believe). My other server is this one – Mastodon Social (apparently based in the U.S.). What EU-based servers do you recommend for general use?

  28. I'm talking to some 'Normal People'™ about how putting valuable, sensitive IP through the #Microsoft series of products (Office, errr… #Copilot 365?) might not be a good idea for European tech companies in <CURRENT CLIMATE 🇺🇸> who wish to maintain a competitive edge.

  31. I can’t believe how easy it is to switch to @Tutanota and its excellent apps. I’ve been frustrated by how most alternatives to Apple Mail and Apple Calendar fall short. But Tuta Mail and Calendar work so well — including with my own domains. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #email #calendar #ios #macos #apple #EUAlternatives

  32. Who knew that #cloudstorage could be so sexy? I’m really digging www.filen.io - end-to-end encrypted storage and backup in Germany. The prices are excellent for such an easy-to-use service, and the minimalist design is downright delicious. Bonus: it’s got a built-in notes function that can replace eg Apple Notes or your favorite #markdown editor. #filenio #tech #EUAlternatives

    Ich würde aus der Ferne zusätzliche Affiliate Links bei Amazon Alternativen wie Otto und Kaufland oder bei nachhaltigen Onlineshops wie zB Waschbär oder avocado store vorschlagen. Insbesondere nachhaltige Plattformen passen m.e deutlich besser zu den Inhalten von ökologisch unterwegs :-)

  34. PSA, you can now change the default translation app in iOS thus finally giving you the ability to translate highlighted text also in the languages Apple has not bothered with.

    Also an opportunity to #EUAlternatives if you switch to DeepL , which is the only app I've found so far that supports being the default translation app, maybe @ueeu knows more.

    Thank you @marcel_kolaja @echo_pbreyer and everyone else who made this happen.

  35. Donations to The Debugger are temporarily down, which in the case of #Ghost rely on #Stripe by default. Now, Stripe decided to cancel The Debugger's account, just right after we published our article on #privacy . Coincidence? Probably yes. But we're looking for #onlinepayment alternatives out there, so if you have any suggestions (especially stuff that is not just Stripe or PayPal under the hood) they'll be much appreciated!
