What happens if you only use European and open-source software for one month? 🤔

TechAltar's recent video tests an alternative setup for laptop, mobile and cloud workspace to see how a month without US tech giants feels like.

1 month without US tech giants

@nextcloud @Techaltar That's how I've been living for 2 years now. With one exception, Steam from Valve (partly because of SteamDeck), I no longer use any software or services from the U.S.

Fairphone4 runs with /e/OS, Threema as a messenger, Debian on all computers, Klarna instead of Paypal, Thalia instead of Audible, Nextcloud self-hosted at home, Mailbox.org for email, Mastodon, Qwant for search, and so on. Little by little, the family is moving in too. I don't miss anything.
