much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Maybe after this!
Open source licensing, offline-only usability, and self-hostable are the only important criteria to me, and they are not listed here.
mullvad browser was discontinued but ironfox is an up to date fork
Are you sure it was discontinued? Mullvad is not Mull.
you're right I'm trippin
I get these confused all the time.
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out!
It looks like Mullvad still exists ...but last time I checked, it was free and now it's around $5/month?
Thanks for the info!
Isn't Grayjay a frontend for YouTube?
Aha! Yes, it is. Any suggestions for non-YouTube video platforms?
Maybe Peertube or Odyssey.
I see Ground News recommended all the time but for some reason i cannot trust it, idk why
nah With all respect, as a proton user, proton docs sucks ass. but that may change in the future
Why could this not just be a webpage with links instead of an image or PDF
Because I like infographics. :) I'll be putting it on my website.
The capitalization for OsmAnd should be corrected. Please?
For news I would advice using the newstool MiniFlux.
MiniFlux
That looks awesome...but also complicated. I'm looking for things that, say, my mom could figure out. (She can't understand how to copy/paste, but would like to leave the Google ecosystem.0 :) Maybe someone should create a similar graphic for more tech-savvy people?
Since you included decentralized solutions like Peertube, maybe add SearXNG instances for searches ?
Hmm...Peertube was so easy for me to search and use—I think a lot of people wouldn't even know it's decentralized—but the SearXNG website is much more complicated. I'm looking for non-Google products that are easy for the average, non-tech person. Think SearXNG would work?
As a software dev... im still too stupid to use searxng. Guess its more of a "If its not that easy I wont go further learning it".
Maybe it was a lot of features missing that I missed from Duckduckgo.
OK, I'm glad it's not just me. :D
In the map area, I have been trying all of the proposed alternatives but ended up using Magic Earth as my main alternative on Android. For walking, I use OsmAnd+.
It's contacts syncing that I'm stuck on. Hoping to do something with a box running OMV but I've never come across anything so simple as Google Contacts 😔
would you mind if i translate this to my language and use it as a poster?
Great list so far! I'd also like to recommend KSuite. They have email services and KDrive for storage.
