Degoogle + BuyFromEU + Privacy: I'd like to share about my smartphone apps replacement journey:

WhatsApp -> Olvid

Gmail -> Mailo

Reddit -> Lemmy

Play store -> Aurora store (no account needed)

Google (browser and search engine) -> Qwant

Google maps -> Here Wego

Gboard -> Heliboard

All trails -> Komoot

ChatGPT -> LeChat

Any recommendation to replace the following?

  • Google Drive,
  • Google photo,
  • Apple wallet (I'd like an alternative to pay with my phone)

Always missing an alternative to Slack. This is getting ridiculous.

[-] Wrongdoer1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I was considering my personal phone only as I don't have the hand on what my company uses but I'm sure there are some alternatives to Slack and Microsoft Teams. I only know about https://whaller.com/en but I'm sure there are others.

[-] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I like the idea of Whaller. But I would also love to have a non-US-developed open source solution (thinking about Mattermost).

[-] Wrongdoer1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Whaller is French not american! Mattermost seems nice too indeed!

[-] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I was saying Mattermost is open source, but still American and recently they changed their homepage to appeal to the American military, so no thank you.

[-] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Zulip is the same as Mattermost, open source but still American. I am not able to check source code, so I need it made by people I have common incentives with.

Whaller is closed source, but it is French and aimed at institutions which require high levels of security.
