Just a short personal progress report after roughly one year going european:
Changes:
- Google search -> ecosia
- Gmail -> proton mail
- Google drive -> proton drive
- Google calendar -> family wall
- Google photos -> zeitkapsl
- Google authenticator -> aegis
- Amazon -> kaufland marketplace
- Reddit -> fediverse (lemmy)
- Pixel (because it stopped working) -> fairphone
- Paypal -> sepa/wero/klarna
Quit without alternative:
- Disney+
Still using:
- Netflix (want to finish “better caul saul”)
- Google maps (too convenient for searching restaurants and shops)
- Steam
Of course I am also conscious about groceries or other material purchases.
Here WeGo is proprietary and not based on OpenStreetMap, but given that it’s the only option in the U.S. with live traffic data that didn’t stoop to renaming the Gulf of Mexico with fascist propaganda, it’s the one I’ve been using.
