Is jutsi any better then it used to be? It was a pain to set up and maintain in the past.
Why is Protonmail not listed, but Proton Calendar and Drive are?
Also, why are you screaming
Tuta Calendar
Because Protonmail would probably be too much of a competition to TutaMail 🙃
I appreciate the intention of the post, but it is biased and an ad for a different product.
This is a Tuta ad.
I fughin love new pipe, it’s awesome.
Missed a bunch of proton stuff like proton mail
Also Mwmbl and Yacy are really good search alternatives
You should add Vivaldi to the Browser selection. They aren’t necessarily open-source but the company that makes them is ethical. They’re based in Norway.
I am all for this, but have you ever tried Libre office? Omg this thing is like old soviet car: it’ll bring you to your destination point but at what price… I needed it mostly for small writing stuff and Word was fine for that. After Libre I tried Obsidian and it worked perfectly. It just knows what you want to do and it is smooth, predictable and everything makes sense. In LIbre I could not figure out for about 30 mins how to write OP without it changing it to Op.
Lol love the old soviet car analogy, good lada memories but mannnn that one was a death trap
Give AnyOffice a try, I like it cuz it just works
LibreOffice can be very customizable. I made it look and function very similar to Word. Also there is an online forum and faq on which users help each other.
It might be, but I’d prefer if it would work predictably out of the box. Other things can do that, so it is not like I am asking for miracle. G**gle docs definitely behaves different from Word but I never had any troubles with it, and no customization ever needed. Why tf program decides what I am trying to write? Yeah, I can undo that but it is CTRL+Z ??? It’s like changing the hands position and breaking typing flow. Why not just Backspace to undo suggested change?? Ctrl+Z is to undo what USER done, not machine. edit: it is so stupid and unlogical that i am getting angry again :D
Try CryptPad then.
There’s also OnlyOffice, but I don’t use it because it may be from a Latvian office with ties to Russia.
LibreOffice also has a setting to make its interface more similar to that of Office.
Interface is fine. It’s just those small things that suddenly do not work as you expect. I’ll give Libre second chance sometime later if I will need to do bigger text. I invested my 30 mins already and it is too late to cut my losses /s
please try onlyoffice. It has the exact same ui/ux as word.
Ente Auth is another choice
Google Tasks isn’t listed here.
This was something I relied upon heavily. When I de-googled, I didn’t want to just move it to another cloud platform, and as a selfhoster I tried quite a few self hosted solutions. Some were very good, but also quite complicated and filled with features I didn’t want.
So I wrote my own - Taskpony - and made it FOSS. It evolved into something that’s not a Google tasks copy, but suits my own needs better. Simple, easy, useful. I’ve really enjoyed the process of writing and sharing this.
You can store OTP codes in bitwarden btw
Think about if you care having all your “eggs” in one basket if you use bitwarden for your passwords too, but if you also store recovery codes in bitwarden then realize that the difference doesnt matter.
p.s. using it in bitwarden if better if you would otherwise not use 2fa
Currently using Vivaldi Browser (/e/ OS). Any thoughts and/or recommondations?
Filen anyone?
Are we doing ads now here? And are we, like, OK with it now?
Bruh chill a lot of these are FOSS
This is an ad for Tuta, which server side software is, AFAIK proprietary. You cannot self-host.
Yeah and that Tutao stuff looks pretty appealing with those nice bold letters and top placement.
It’s still better than the vast majority of similar guides that are posted. Most of them seem to be proton ads, which is an objectively worse thing, and most others have stuff like brave on the list. And it’s not like they tried to hide it here, it’s right there at the bottom. Seeing them actually give alternatives to even their own things is great IMO. The only fault here was OP not making it clear in the title where the image is from, no matter how obvious that is.
I was also wondering about the order of the alternatives.
It feels like the first entry is the “best” to replace tge google service but IMO some are not even close to other lower placed alternatives.
I don’t want brands to think there’s a loophole they can exploit by half-heartedly endorsing FOSS for nefarious advertising. “Coke tastes great with the user agency of Linux” is still an ad for Coke.
A lot of these are filler. It’s an add for a specific product disguised as one of this endless lists, but they couldn’t stop themselves from being obvious
This is an ad. At least tuta marked it but that doesn’t make it way better.
All YouTube “options” are YouTube frontends. All android “alternatives” are android - which isn’t the guides fault as there are none in my opinion. Still unserious from my point of view.
It’s once more a catch all “guide” that doesn’t guide but simply mentions enough popular alternatives to get popularity.
OP’s account exists for over a year, but this is the only participation in the fediverse ever. No other posts, zero comments… WTH?
they even listed calyx which is currently taking a long nap and is not secure
How do they list Nextcloud as an alternative to Google Drive but not to the Google office apps? LibreOffice is not really a substitute, Nextcloud Office/Collabora is.
Forgetting that immich needs a selfhosted server?
Thus it aint really an alternative if you really want it to be applicable to the average user.- An immich user.
proton drive has a photo backup feature
It’s interesting they haven’t recommended anything proton here when proton as a whole works very well in a bunch of these categories… I imagine it could be because they’re a competitor to Tuta
Proton Calendar is listed
Ah yeah, I was looking at the mail/password manager/docs side instead… They’ve also got Proton Drive on there as well though
No worries. The chart is a mess.
