Yeah, easy - you just have to evaluate 30 different overlapping products

It might be possible, it's certainly not easy, and if you need a map like this, it's definitively not easy.

Don't sell people this is easy. It's not! They will get disappointed, frustrated, and defending that change will become harder.

PeerTube could fit on YouTube alternatives too. Also: the free plan of Vimeo lets user to upload only 1 GB of content ..

Good to see someone has already pointed it out why Authy shouldn't be recommended.

For those who don't know:

Even the blog is in German, this list here is also as a English speaking person easy understandable. The list has a higher focus on open source and privacy then the info graphic in this post.

But really, you could add @organicmaps , its already the best frontend for openstreetmap.

Video Call/Chat .> Signal & Wire. Really?!?!?!?!?!
in reply to Tuta

I really need CryptPad to support OAuth... like yesterday.
in reply to Tuta

Authy? Authy requires a phone number. Hackers stole 33 million phone numbers of Authy users this month. Also, Authy does not have an export token option. Having to migrate my tokens from Authy to 2FAS manually was still worth it.

my life isn't just google free, but is completely gafam free. Literally 0 services from big tech.

Life is a bit harder yes. But you can't replace the feeling that you can sleep safer at night with any "convenience" offered by big tech.

Apart from the safety feeling, there is the human interaction at the support department. When using services from small businesses you actually get to speak with real people when you have an issue with the service.

Nice effort, but there's a typo : SearX project is no longer since September last year (See the SearX GitHub repository archived). The successor is #SearXNG Here's a list of instances : searx.space/
in reply to Tuta

Some nice suggestions, but feels a bit disingenuous, so to speak, to not include *any* other e-mail service :P
Anyway, OrganicMaps should definitely add alongside OsmAnd (I'm a little biased here hehe)

Walled garden apps like Signal for chat? Why not an app that is compliant with the IETF internet standard XMPP? Users should be able to choose their own service provider.
in reply to Tuta

still Google Lens has no alternative :AngeryCat:
there are much FLOSS OCR apps, but they don't translate, QR code apps are separate and still we lack an image search tool.
@plasmamobile
@degoogle
in reply to Tuta

I use many of these but email has never been a concern of mine. What else I use for non-google on my Android phone :

F-Stop Gallery (paid) for photo organization
OpenCamera (free) for taking photos
Textra (paid) for SMS / MMS
Simple Mobile Tools for dialer/contacts/notes, but the brand was sold and so you need to get old versions now (I think the F-Droid ones are still fine).

@dark_stang @Kierkegaanks Self-hosting is a great option for the more technically savvy. For others, having a privacy oriented app may be the easier option.

@Kierkegaanks you can self host. All of my personal documents and spreadsheets are hosted on my NAS. I can access them from my phone and computer just as easily

tresorit starts from 1tb. For those who don't need that much, filen is a good option. It has photo backup, drive, notes (very basic). Their lifetime plans on black Friday are 💣
in reply to Tuta

Not the best list I've ever seen.

No Brave.

DuckDuckGo is regurgitated big tech censored results full of dis and misinformation. Yandex and Mojeek are superior choices.

Authy is not a great choice.

Leaving Rumble, Odysee, Brighteon and others out of the video streaming mix leaves users locked into the highly censored, 1984ish government controlled information paradigm. A huge disservice to your users.

And of course Proton makes excellent products that fit several of those categories.

in reply to Tuta

+1 for nextcloud.

And I learned I should ditchy authy from the other comments.

in reply to Tuta

You forgot to mention PeerTube and Piped as YouTube alternatives 😉 PeerTube in particular since it is very important to let people know that there's yet another, more private and more secure solution to YouTube.
in reply to Tuta

Another service offering many alternatives to Google's stuff is Disroot: disroot.org/en
in reply to Tuta

wouldn't use the word "easy" to install lineage, but still think it's worth it

@Kavah Agreed, will keep this in mind for when we post this again. 😂
in reply to Tuta

nice. But you also need to add the much better Google Docs/Apps/Drive or MSO 365 & OneDrive replacements: NextCloud and OnlyOffice. Quite compelling in my experience.
in reply to Tuta

Authy is not a good candidate for authenticator apps. Like the big brands, they are trying to masquerade a simple, local program as something that requires a cloud account.

KeePassXC also belongs in the authenticator column. It has built-in TOTP.
