Why does this suggest that Organic Maps cost money? organicmaps.app

Whoops! I’ll fix it.

Wouldn’t recommend zoho either, from India a country which heavily exploited user privacy and is in talks to ban proton mail

Needs Qwant search.

Qwant search

Interesting! Is it totally free? Looks like it. If it’s free and good and not problematic, maybe I’ll use it to replace Kagi.

Kagi is problematic since it funds Russia through yandex. Also, organic maps is completely free.

I’ll fix OM!

Does Kagi actually pay Yandex for searches? Grrr.

This infographic is for less-techie people (say, me…or even more, my mom). If I get rid of everything I’ve been told is problematic so far (Proton, Kagi, Zoho, in addition to some I actually did end up removing already), there won’t be any doable solutions left for my intended audience. (My mom doesn’t know or care if something is open source, or what an instance is or how to join one for a search engine, etc. But if she can get away from Google, I feel that’s a step in the right direction.)

Maybe I should add an asterisk to the infographic key for anything that’s problematic. Then on the links page I can describe the situation with each one, and let readers decide.

Good to see Nextcloud mentioned, it kills many birds with one stone

Yes, that was recommended by someone in /Privacy.

The fuck is Here WeGo? Is it open source

That’s rather bizarre to have Zoho there for documents but not for email.
