Hoezo geen alternatieven voor Big Tech tools? Wat doen wij dan bij #mastodon? Zet #signalapp #switchingsoftware #jitsimeet en #efoundation op het netvlies bij burgers én bedrijven, want dát helpt echt in meer tegenmacht tegen Big Tech. https://www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws/politiek/da33b2f9-721a-46eb-8383-a21a0780b6c2/techbedrijven-overvleugelen-en-beinvloeden-democratische-rechtsstaten-de-vloek-van-big-tech

@fasnix 👍✊
Finding and switching to alternatives Microsoft, Adobe and other #enshittification software products can seem hard.
@switchingsoftware https://switching.software/
and
@alternativeto https://alternativeto.net
are two great resources to get started today!

Zoom Inc doesn't make sense in the same context as wikis. Why throw away our freedom to control our own community software?
Yesterday we successfully moved to a new Mastodon instance run by some of our curators: https://fedifreu.de
It's running a friendly fork of Mastodon called #GlitchSoc which gives us many nice features including Markdown posting, polls with more than 4 options, longer toots, and more. See https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ for details.
Today we published a new version of https://switching.software with too many updates to list. Check it out for the latest alternatives to proprietary software!
We know that our website still contains some outdated content because this project had a period of inactivity. If you notice errors or omissions, please search for existing issues in our Codeberg repository before creating new issues: https://codeberg.org/swiso/website/issues

In future, I will only send this link to @switchingsoftware when people ask me again what is good for what on the PC. Unfortunately, many still say they are skeptical, but in reality they are too lazy to learn and teach themselves.

As I will co-ordinate the latest reboot of the @switchingsoftware website on behalf of @digitalcourage, I just decided to offer another #LightningTalk at #FnF2022:
“https://switching.software is looking for volunteers”
In case you don't know, #switchingsoftware is an alternative to alternative.to, namely a website recommending ethical alternatives to proprietary software and services.
@vtp27 Si “apps” son programas en general, pues a ver si te sirve #switchingSoftware: https://switching.software/
Si es para esmarfón pues no sé, que no tengo de eso.
Switching.software, "Ethical, easy-to-use and privacy-conscious alternatives to well-known software"
Dass https://switching.software/ auch die Alternativen zu sich selbst auflistet finde ich so sympathisch, dass ich nie wieder eine andere Seite zum Thema benutzen werde!
Super awesome #website (no.398)
Learn the free-licence software that you can use to replace closed, or corporate software that extracts money or data (or both) from you.
@ademalsasa The 1st 3 are quite poor recommendations. #SwitchingSoftware, #PrivacyTools, & #PRISMBreak actually endorse privacy abusing svcs. It's well documented here: https://lemmy.ml/post/31487 here: https://lemmy.ml/post/32542 & here: https://lemmy.ml/post/35452 There are also threads in their bug trackers where serious issues w/endorsements are simply ignored. They just want donations.
@joeligj12 E.g. #swiso still endorses #DuckDuckGo, even though there's a huge list of serious issues (http://techrights.org/2021/03/15/duckduckgo-in-2021/) while at the same time there are tens of better options that #SwitchingSoftware ignored.
@dpwiz @mxtthxw @FediFollows @switchingsoftware if "pack your stuff" & "walk away" is a metaphor for boycott #Cloudflare, that's indeed what I do. I boycott all of #MACFANG. But this is not about me; it's about #switchingSoftware, who is betraying their readers by lying to them about the openness of the #Cloudflare site that they endorse & by concealing the pitfalls which directly contradicts the #SWISO mission.
#SwitchingSoftware aplikazio ezagunen alternatibak biltzen dituen zerrenda bat da, kode irekikoak, etikoak eta pribatutasuna zaintzen dutenak. Zerbitzuren bat utzi nahi baino zerekin ordezkatu edo nora joan ez badakizu, oso lagungarria izan daiteke!

@mxtthxw @switchingsoftware @FediFollows #SwitchingSoftware gives a lot of bad advice & even makes some false statements: https://lemmy.ml/post/31487
