If you do not want to use software from a US tech industry that supports Donald Trump, this is the website you have been looking for:

@randahl There's another good one at https://euroalternative.co/

[vacekh@mastodon.social]

@randahl Yeah! This page is one of the reasons why I am trying Mastodon! Also I switched years ago to mapy.com from Google Maps and Waze. Much more detailed maps, awesome worldwide offline maps and tourist maps, actual traffic and traffic warnings ala Waze. Recommend! Also I switched to @ecosia and their really good AI search.

[schmidray@mastodon.social]

@randahl cool info. Alternatives are plentyfull.

@Npars01 @randahl in reality EU is caving to big fossil fuels ‍️

[aysc@mastodon.social]

@randahl Nope. We don't need a eurocentric Internet.

It appeared they had, but that ridiculous energy purchase agreement was canceled thankfully.

There is little difference between buying fossil fuel from Russia, OPEC, or Koch Network despots.

All of it must be phased out, or face fascist rule.

@asmodai thanks.

@randahl In Germany, there is also Digital Independence Day, an initiative to help others regaining control over their digital infrastructure https://di.day/
It is partially relying on European Alternatives, but also has lots of other hints

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@genodeftest wunderbar!

[mihamarkic@mastodon.social]

@Npars01 @randahl We also had high expectations on ban on ICE (not that ICE) vehicles, but it went away just like that.

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@randahl @Npars01 Please take every encouragement.

[charizard@ioc.exchange]

@randahl As cool as this does sound, I'm American and it would feel... inauthentic to *only* use European alternatives. Still do enjoy some EU stuff.

[thomasboom@mastodon.social]

@randahl You could also use @alternativeto and select the applicable option to filter by place of origin

@mihamarkic @randahl

The days of the internal combustion engine are numbered.

EV's are cheaper to produce & there's a growing after-market for the batteries.
