  EU is going down the same path. The “EU” alternative stuff is just bogus.

    Us tech is on a completely different level evil wise. Maybe it gets worse but in the moment EU tech is much less evil. Just listen to what the openai ceo says in interviews.

    Chat Control comes to mind.

    EU is going down the same path. The “EU alternative” stuff is just bogus. It’s just a matter of time before EU starts doing the same.

    It’s not bogus if you are yourself European or if the alternative is Big Tech. But I feel you. There are lots of shitty European companies that are not that much better. I avoided the switch to Spotify because even though they are “European” they gave a lot of money to Joe Rogan and to Trump on his inauguration.

    Also, the EU did recently reject the chat control proposal so at least that’s something…

  Agreed! There are lots of excellent EU-based alternatives.

  Honest question: which euro alternatives do you recommend for mail, cloud?

    Proton mail is swiss and is great. If by cloud you mean cloud storage it also has proton drive; if you mean aws, I don’t know though.
