Trying to replace all my US based big-tech choices for Canadian alternatives.

Main ones:

  • cloudflare (domain and site hosting)
  • bitwarden
  • discord (a true alternative, but not sure if there is one)

Willing to hear of other recommendations for daily software as well :)

    Are there any decent alternatives to a Meta Quest that is Meta-less? It doesn’t need to be Canadian for my purposes, just not big tech.

    It was something that occurred to me recently as I’m interested in VR but trying to divorce myself from Meta as a whole. It’s a shame that they seem to have built the most adopted VR platform in North America.

    (Also please direct me if there’s a better community for this question. I’m new to Lemmy and relatively new to avoiding big tech.)

      I also am interested in VR, but not a huge gamer, so the Quest would probably be up my alley. However, I haven’t succumbed to temptation because of the Meta connection. When the Deckard comes out, maybe I’ll splurge.

      Meta is the cheapest by far unfortunately.

      I miss being able to use my smartphone as a VR device…
