Shout out to the Arc Browser

I can vouch for the Kdrive/Kmail from infomaniak. Great service for the price, the switch was almost seamless (with gmail forwarding to my @ik.me mail)

TIL that Bitwarden is an US company. I love the product but thats a risk

Is there a concern there is going to be a tech trade war?

[–] sandtoffel@feddit.nl 3 points 2 hours ago

What's the risk? That they would shut down operations randomly in the EU?

Switched to proton pass free from paid bitwarden and gotta say, its just better on so many fronts.

Why does it include iCloud, iMessage, and Keychain, but not Apple’s Calendar, Mail, and Maps

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Most of Session's developers are Australian.

They moved their product to Switzerland because the Australian government started raiding them.

They seem to be a cool bunch but for some reason don't want to implement some wanted privacy features.

OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation

[–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

(there's the open source free full version on F-Droid)

Mapy.cz is an absolute must for hiking in Czechia and Slovakia, Google maps isn't even close. Not sure how the situation is in other countries though

Curently trying it as my daily driver and it does pretty good job too

[–] Snoezelpoes@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

Mapy is great for hiking outside of Czechia and Slovakia, I use it a lot in the Netherlands! I had to stop using the navigation tough because I ran into some issues with it.

AFAIK HERE WeGo is an European maps app too.

These sharepics are simply not exhaustive. Having example alternatives and then pointing to one of three comparison websites, might be a better approach. But this would also be more convoluted.

That doesn't use osm. Imo, it is just not as good

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Missing traffic updates for smaller countries is an issue with osm

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 5 points 5 hours ago

+1, great alternative to gmaps, including traffic and public transport

I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?

It's still federated so I guess it doesn't really matter much, but still...

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 2 hours ago

The two main Lemmy devs are European. One of the feddit.uk Admins is also now part of the team.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 hours ago

They get funds from the EU, so I don't think it's a US organization
