European alternatives for digital products
European alternatives for digital products
We help you find European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products.
I had already posted this with a lemm.ee account, and moved here because lemmy.world is hosted in EU, but seems like the post got deleted along with the account. I’m sorry for the possible spam.
You're viewing a single thread.
Proton is based in switzerland, but the ceo just kissed the ring, so do whatever you like
Let's break it down. Just because a solution is European, it doesn't automatically mean it's better or more trustworthy when it comes to your data and privacy. While some European solutions might be great, it's not a guarantee that they're all created equal or that they're more committed to protecting your information.
It's not like all European companies are die-hard advocates for privacy, fairness, and openness. Each one has its own approach and priorities, just like their North American counterparts. So, it's essential to do your research and evaluate each solution on its own merits, rather than making assumptions based on its geographical origin.
That being said, if you're looking for a temporary solution while you search for something you can really trust, a European option might be a good stopgap. It's not a permanent fix, but it can help you bridge the gap until you find a solution that truly aligns with your values and priorities. Just remember to keep looking and don't get too comfortable – your data and privacy are worth the extra effort to find the right fit.
Dammit, didn't know about that. Any source to see it?

On a sidenote, can we somehow link to lemmy threads so that everyone can access them from their home instance?
The way you shared the links IS already the official Federated way to do it.
https://fedi.tips/what-are-original-pages-in-mastodon/ "Just copy and paste the page’s web address into the search box on Mastodon/Lemmy/etc, and it will make that post or profile appear within your own server where you will be able to interact with it directly."
How would we use your link? We go to the search page. In your web browser, look for a search icon at the top right of the page. On mobile, you may need to open up a context menu to find the search icon. You can probably just go to https://yourservername/search and get the same search page.
Copy your link and paste it into the search box, then press on the Search button. To save time for the future, you can make a bookmark to the search page.
@[email protected] has an interesting suggestion for using a central server. One risk could be if the central server tracks users, then we would send everyone through an extra layer of tracking. Let us look at that server's hosting.

It seems lemmyverse.link is hosted on one of the top tracking websites.
https://www.ghostery.com/whotracksme/tracking-reach
Maybe someone can point the person who runs that website at this thread and ask that person to migrate to a different host.
I think you can add https://lemmyverse.link/ before the shared url without http
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/24313503
is an example. I saw div0 using this, seems handy! Doesn't quite work with voyager, though unfortunately
Yeah, at least from desktop it works, asks for the home instance once and then shows the post in that instance
Thank you. There goes my plan to move to Proton for mail, VPN and cloud storage, then 😔
