So this is my try to move away from big tech. I am pretty happy at this point. For most cases I tried to use #EuropeanAlternatives https://privacypack.org/

Ah yes, the quest for European alternatives—because nothing screams #innovation like swapping your iPhone for an ancient Viking rune tablet 📜. Who needs efficiency when you can spend hours navigating a clunky interface from a "locally-sourced" startup? 🌍✨

Made-in-France bed sheets that don’t cost a fortune: it can be done
"Do you know where most of the bed sheets sold in France are made? For more than half of them, the answer is Pakistan. In fact, because of competition from low-cost countries, there are hardly any bed linen factories left in France. When we found that out, we wanted to do our bit to help the last French factories hold out. Especially since we realised we could sell these sheets at prices not that far from those made on the other side of the world. How come?"

Uns erwartet bei dem Tagesordnungspunkt direkt eine gute Nachricht: Bonn wird #Wero als Möglichkeit zur Bezahlung städtischer Dienstleistungen einführen!
Die Verwaltung geht von einer Implementierung bis Ende des Jahres 2026 aus und rechnet damit, dass dies kostenneutral für die Stadt laufen wird.
Unser Antrag hierzu wurde im Mai noch von den anderen Fraktionen stark abgeschwächt, aber die Verwaltung hatte sich darum schon selbst gekümmert, vielen Dank!

Walt julkaisi ensimmäisenä mukana olevat pankit, toistaiseksi vain mastercardit.
Mutta suomesta tämän hetken tietoon tuetut pankit Danske Bank, Ålandsbanken, (Holvi).Tätä odottaen, kunhan saa julkaisuun!

Mooi artikel waarin #CtMagazine redelijk gedetaileerd ingaat op Europese alternatieven voor Google Forms e.d.
Als ik dit zo lees zijn dit allemaal goede alternatieven, elk met een eigen bijzonderheden en doelgroepen:
- Easyfeedback
- Edkimo
- LimeSurvey
- SoSci Survey

@nazokiyoubinbou @fsinn @su_liam One of the many reasons why Europeans started moving away from both. Data harvesting is the main reason of course.
Both of those companies used to be such an inspiration, now they are just disgusting. -
Digitale Souveränität statt Abhängigkeit von US-Cloud-Anbietern:
openVisavid ist die Enterprise-Open-Source-Videokonferenzlösung, betrieben in EU-Rechenzentren, Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselt und DSGVO-konform.
Warum das gerade für Behörden & Bildungseinrichtungen zählt: https://openvisavid.de/blog/warum-europaeische-videokonferenzloesungen-jetzt-gefragt-sind-b9e64347-9cdd-4b8a-8e42-c1a0277b2225

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to convince people to start using #europeanalternatives?
Slow trickling, and trying to fight the reach of current market owners with words are just not going to work.

@biokistenversteher danke für die Blumen 😊
Man lernt immer dazu. Das mag ich am #fediverse. Es fühlt sich wie ein neues #internet an, in dem man wieder menschlich ist und Rücksicht aufeinander nimmt.
Schade, dass sich so Wenige von #meta weglocken lassen 😔
Dabei ist es doch hier viel schöner 🌸 -
We are exploring @statichost, an elegant solution for hosting static websites in the EU.
First of all, registering an account on statichost is exceptionally fast and simple. Given that the web has turned into a giant mall, full of trackers, heavy websites, annoying pop-ups and banners, etc., having to simply enter an email address on a lightweight website to create an account feels really good.
Then, to add a website, you specify the Git repository comprising its source code, and how to build the pages. statichost relies on containers for the build jobs. Template configurations are available for building websites made with well-known static CMS (e.g., Zola, Hugo, Jekyll), but any OCI/Docker image can be used. You can even publish directly the content of a Git branch, which is the option we opted for. This way, we can keep our current CI/CD pipeline without major changes. We only added a final step to our pipeline to trigger the publication process on statichost via a webhook.
We encourage you explore EU-based and user-respecting solutions such as statichost when it comes to your IT infrastructure. Our engineers are here to assist you if needed.

Last month, we created a collection listing some European tech companies that are currently active on the Fediverse.
Today we will share with you a second collection featuring some European email providers who are also here with us. ✉️
Here's the collection:
https://social.vivaldi.net/collections/116867299391249417Don't hesitate to follow the accounts of other email providers, not just your own. 😉 Some reasons for doing that:
1st, some of them post nice content that is useful to everyone, not just their clients.
2nd, it's interesting to see what other European companies are doing and offering. Success stories, promotions, interesting facts, photos of teams and founders, useful tips...
3rd, learning about the various European alternatives helps us to recommend the most suitable option to our friends, even if it's a different email provider to the one we use. People may look for different criteria, such as prices, jurisdiction, ethics etc.
4th, let's support companies and associations that are active on the Fediverse. 💪💐
Finally, we never know when we might need to change provider, so it helps to have names in mind. 💡
If you know another e-mail provider that is active on the Fediverse but isn't listed in our Collection, let us know so we can add them. :)

Qobuz Delivers 45.7% Revenue Growth in 2025 in a Paid Music Streaming Market Growing at 8.8%
"The success story of an independent French company that has become a global player alongside the music streaming giants"
> A 45.7% increase in revenue in 2025. We're curious to know if the #BuyFromEU movement may have contributed to this?

@The_Universality @baleine @digitaleu
The text behind the link says "yeah, kinda" on the ethics.
Still don't think that an industry flush with venture capital needs public subsidies - at what might be the bubble's peak.
If it must be "#AI", research grants for more efficient (local) models for the *few actual use cases* would have been preferable.
Better yet, grants for development and adaptation of #FOSS #EuropeanAlternatives to the basic IT stack used in #EU businesses & administrations. -
Je viens de rejoindre @LaSuiteCoop 💚
C’est quoi ? Une suite d’outils numériques pour travailler à plusieurs (messagerie, documents, mails, visio, fichiers, tableurs), comme celles qu’on utilise déjà tous les jours. La grande différence ? Celle-ci appartient à ses utilisateurs, elle est hébergée en Europe, et son code est ouvert (tout le monde peut le vérifier). Ici, pas de décisions imposées d’en haut, prises ailleurs, sans vous en informer. -

@hpod16 Dear Hannah. Thanks for taking your time to answer and to voice your opinion. I understand your points but don't agree. If the EU institutions don't abandon the undemocratic Big Tech - who should?
Have a wonderful day💚

@hpod16 Trains are awesome. But YouTube is NOT. Please use European platforms.

Frage an die, die sich für meinen #VikiUnplugged interessieren:
Ich habe von @decorum ja das Jolla C2 heute bekommen...hättet ihr Spaß, wenn ich inkl. " Unboxing usw. n Video für Peertube mache, oder mehrere kleine, wo ich meine Babyschritte und Tests filme, n bissl quatsche und Erfahrungen teile?
Ich bin ja eher n Noop und vielleicht kann ich mit so was andere Noops ermutigen, auch was zu probieren.

#Wero wird wohl Ende des Jahres in Bonn kommen!
Das macht den Umstieg bei einem nächsten #DIDay noch attraktiver.Die Verwaltung hat eine entsprechende Mitteilung bereits jetzt veröffentlicht, die nach der Sommerpause in den Ausschüssen auf die Tagesordnung kommen wird.
Damit ist die @BundesstadtBonn deutlich proaktiver als CDU/SPD/FDP, die unseren Antrag im Mai zu einem Prüfauftrag heruntergestuft hatten.Link ins Ratsinformationssystem: https://www.bonn.sitzung-online.de/public/VO020?VOLFDNR=2028355
