There might be some changes that could improve it further:
- Remove Brave
- Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized
- Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
- Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
- Add GrapheneOS
- Maybe add Delta chat
- Maybe remove Bluesky
- Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)
- Add ente because Immich is selfhosted
Any other suggestions?
signal is a good option for messaging. it is technically american, but i feel like FOSS projects should generally get a pass.
also, as an american who is very not okay with what our (russia's) government (puppet) is doing, wouldn't supporting non-american businesses mean paying the tariffs and supporting the oligarchs? i'm not really sure what us yanks can do besides just trying not to spend ANY money.
That's about to get a lot easier. How do you feel about a $3000 laptop? Car manufacturing might just stop temporarily. They've got a month to figure out how to change pretty major processes that companies may not have the current ability to change.
And let's see if they're going to move into the US or out.
Signal is extremely expensive, they pay $15m+ to Google and Amazon because they don’t self-host so around half of their donations go directly to tech oligarchy
