πŸŽ‰ Big Tech alternatives are finally getting mainstream media attention! πŸŽ‰

Yesterday, The Guardian published a piece on how people and organizations can leave Big Tech behind and choose ethical, privacy-focused alternatives, a topic we’ve been passionate about at Tuta for a long time. πŸ™ŒπŸ”

Thank-you to Steve Rose for mentioning Tuta. It’s great to see privacy-first solutions getting recognition. πŸ™

Screenshot of an article written by Steve Rose for The Guardian titled : Leave Big Tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple - and more.

Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more

A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

Commenting on social medias is nice.

But over the years, I noticed that whenever you write to a journalist, they very often reply. They do read their emails and they notice.

When you read a piece about leaving big tech, you have someone interested in the topic. It is someone to write to about the Fediverse. This journalist will then look it up and it might come up in a next piece.

Good to see more reasons to unsubscribe from those companies who are funding US fascism. And some very viable options to those companies who are contributing to our demise.

I think it's great that, finally, privacy oriented alternatives are getting the attention they deserve. But this must become a principle to defend on itself, because it took the tech bros political marriage to Trump in order to change minds. When these tech bros were still large donors to the democratic party, privacy and digital rights were widely derided or even frowned upon. So hopefully we learn from this, and start taking a longer term position on our digital rights.

It doesn't mention search engines at all which I consider one of the most invidious big tech tools - tracking, biasing, advertising …

@_elena it was a good article but #fediverse deserves more attention than a simple mention of Mastodon. Also I don't like the name "W" xd.

the comment that any Android phone can be converted using /e is a lie. There are a huge number of pretty good phones with no such image available. My BOLD N4 is one example. $250 USD with features commonly found only on $1000 USD android phones. We need Android phones that gain the economy of scale to offer that kind of value. (I would be willing to pay twice as much for the same phone if it came with Linux.)

It's a good article, and it's prompted me to join Mastodon. Already using LibreOffice and Proton. Browser is currently Firefox, but seriously considering Vivaldi. Keen to support a European IT infrastructure πŸ™‚

I read that as β€œconspiracy theorists claim it is linked to the EU, but it is not”

(My job involves parsing unclear writing lol)
