I find it really hard to replace maps, because half of the times I use it it's because of photos, reviews, or traffic information that's just not available in other places.
I haven't managed to get Immich running on my server, so it's more comparing the current Nextcloud memories app to the google photos app from about... A little over a year ago? I'm not sure about the web interface for memories, though, as I don't really use it there
Not perfect, you'd probably want to change away from Google for example, and Microsoft/Google seem to get your IP address or location along with the search, to get relevant results. Still seems leagues better than Google or Bing directly, and the issue seems to mostly be Google/Microsoft getting data, rather than Ecosia collecting data for itself.
As another person said, why put all or a lot of your eggs in one basket (Proton)? To me the value in switching away from big tech is that I can deversify my services.
Could you elaborate? Isn't the fact that it's owned by a non-profit foundation an obstacle to enshittification? Do you assume the same will happen to services like Signal too?
OpenAI was also non-profit and sure as shit wasn't living up to its name of being open in any way. Then it became for-profit in late 2025 because it could, and also money.
Do you think there's something snowflake-level special preventing Proton from doing the same fucking thing? It's a corporation trying to make money; non-profit may be used to grift popularity or grassroots support.
If Proton is special and impossible to follow a similar trajectory after enough people use/are locked into their ecosystem, please share with us what your logic would be that would protect us from this. (Hint: you can't)
Also to note, Proton AG is technically for-profit. They are majority owned by Proton, which is a non-profit, but the company that hosts everything is technically for-profit.
Because its not all eggs. As you can see, they used a ton of google services, but only substituted a few with Proton. Ex. Google keep -> Joplin, Google Maps -> Magic maps. So saying that they put everything into proton is not true. It takes time to be fully independent.
I am very similar to OP. Proton right now gives good services, and is a good safety net right now for me.
I've heard... Questionable things about the Kagi CEO that make me hesitant to give them money. I just don't really use search engines for much anymore.
Kagi has quickly grown into something of a _household name_ within tech
circles. From _Hacker News_ and _Lobsters_ to _Reddit_, the search provider
seems to attract near-universal praise.
It's kind of unclear what they use as sources nowadays. What is clear however is that they use their own search engine, Teclis, so it doesn't just act as a proxy for other search engines but searches will only remain in their own engine.

Bing: Their terms didn’t work for us from the start. Microsoft’s terms prohibited reordering results or merging them with other sources - restrictions incompatible with Kagi’s approach. In February 2023, they announced price increases of up to 10x on some API tiers. Then in May 2025, they retired the Bing Search APIs entirely, effective August 2025, directing customers toward AI-focused alternatives like Azure AI Agents.
Google: Google does not offer a public search API. The only available path is an ad-syndication bundle with no changes to result presentation - the model Startpage uses.
and "it doesn’t just act as a proxy for other search engines" it exactly does this, Teclis is <1% of the results (you can see yourself teclis.com/)
Doesn't help now, but when I buy a new phone I make sure it's comparable with a custom ROM. Anytime I'm using a stock android (or iOS) phone it's unbearable after so many years of custom ROMs. So hopefully you're in need of a new phone soon.
My last 3 phones are just kind of pain software wise. Moto G5s Plus - the Android 8 update (latest official) made it a slow horrible mess with frequent crashes and high battery drain. PixelExperience 11 fixed that. Poco X3 Pro - told not to update to MIUI 13 due to instability. Many bugs I had to learn to work around. Left and right microphones reversed in software. Extreme power saving that doesn't even spare alarms. Ulefone Armor 24 - UI often crashes (Quickstep) including navigation. In some cases Android version updates don't show up. The legend has it they sometimes provide updates after you e-mail them, stored on the Google Drive. Those updates do a factory reset, because of course they do. Alarm also has a chance of being killed, but lower than with MIUI. Charging with fast charger kills USB communication until reboot.
I don't do updates anymore. Check the experiences online, and it's all just new bugs, often pretty serious ones. So, if it somewhat works, and it isn't absolutely clear that the next update would certainly fix something important, just keep it

TWRP could at least give me some peace of mind. I could just back up everything.
Wow, that’s incredibly disappointing. I’ve seen a whole lot worse from a lot of other CEOs, but I don’t understand how every CEO just doesn’t care at all about the society that built their wealth. The only moral position is to oppose Trump and the Republican Party. He and they are immoral.
What? He just praised one good thing about Trump's administration (the antitrust DOJ pick) and now he's pro-MAGA and a Trump bootlicker? Did you guys even read the article conclusion? "However, being disillusioned with one party on one issue doesn’t mean that all of a sudden Andy Yen changed all of his stances and that now he’s actually pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. All of the evidence gathered suggests the exact opposite."
/e/OS does not take security seriously. They are often 1-2+ months behind on Android security patches, leaving you vulnerable to literal dozens of high severity vulnerabilities. You would probably be better off with LineageOS.
Maybe the got their shit together since I last checked, but hqving that history and being at the very least 1 month (usually more) behind for years is a very bad look for a ROM that bills itself as private and secure.
I've never seen Magic Earth, but as an OSM contributor, I don't understand why I'd use a subscription service when all the underlying data is free (as in beer and freedom) and contributed by volunteers (and likely not the app devs). One-time app purchases like OsmAnd I understand because you're doing stuff with the data like routing, overlays, etc., and that requires development work. But a subscription seems absurd.
Well, I just reverted to an old version of Magic Earth so I could keep getting traffic info. That's literally the only tjing stopping me from other OSM apps like CoMaps. I wanna know if an accident happened or my usual route is blocked for some reason.
I use both. CoMaps when I can, but Magic Earth has a better business data set and better traffic data right now. I also contribute to OSM when I can, but there is a lot of missing data.
Because it's a refined way of showing that information. Because search actually works. And because it adds traffic data. If you don't see the value in any of those things than it's not for you.
Seems mostly great, but I've heard a lot of negative things about /e/OS. It's probably better than Google-ized Android, but GrapheneOS had a lot of complaints about its security, and most importantly it has proprietary systems and applications included. Proprietary applications by default (some that they've written?) is weird and worrying for a privacy focused OS.
GrapheneOS is the goat, imo. Hopefully we'll get more devices supported soon.
Lumo isn’t really private. If you’re not local, you’re not private. AFAIK it sends to the model in cleartext (zero access) which isn’t E2EE. Signal, for example, is E2EE. Based on internet reviews, you’re better off running the models they offer locally for performance reasons on the cost anyway. I’d say you’re better off without AI in almost every situation you’d want to use an LLM of such such limited capability too so unless you really really want to set resources on fire it’s better to just drop it period.
Netflix cannot be replaced by Jellyfin. That is very disingenuous. To “replace” Netflix with Jellyfin requires a bit more infrastructure and while it might be cheaper there’s risk involved that isn’t present with your other changes.
We like to pretend or tell our wives it is, but hard drives and electricity likely come close or maybe even exceed a netflix subscription.
Host your media collection because it’s in better quality, titles don’t leave the service, and overall it’s just cooler. But don’t do it because it’s “cheaper.”
It might not be cheaper than Netflix, but it's a lot cheaper than Netflix + Hulu + Disney Plus + HBO Max + Paramount Plus + Peacock + Prime + Britbox + whatever new streaming service that somebody will launch tomorrow
That's what I'm going for once I'm done backing up all the things I can't afford to lose when I wipe the windows drive. Even then, I'm looking at ways to preserve it as a virtual image in case I forgot something. My work provided laptop is unfortunately on windows 11 so at least there's that in case I need Windows for any reason
Damn the AI RAM price mania, I would have gotten running earlier with just a new drive.
I agree with your overall sentiment, but your examples are kinda strange. There are so many viable open source browsers out there, but how many open source video game markets with AAA games are around?
Isn't "viable" subjective though? If you are allowed to deem open source games not viable, then isn't it a bit hypocritical to judge people for deeming open source browsers not viable, for their personal criteria?
Everyone draws the line somewhere, that’s exactly why I said I agree with your sentiment. I’m not the type of guy that only uses specific hardware because the BIOS/UEFI fw is open source.
Steam isn’t a game though, is there an alternative to Steam that’s open source?
Steam has many features that can be looked at separately, but at its core it's a package manager. So I would argue an open source alternative comes preinstalled with any Linux distro.
You can find, install, and update games with e.g. Discover or Synaptic.
I don't think many Steam users would consider them viable alternatives though.
+1 for Mint. Super easy to use, a lot of config can be tweaked directly in the UI, and it has old style GNOME vibes without all the mad workflow that GNOME 3 forces upon you.
I've begun my switch over to Mint from Windows. Its kinda wild to suggest normal users to switch to Arch of all things. Netflix (and streaming apps in general) straight to Jellyfin is also a stretch because there are... extra steps
I am loving Fedora KDE after using mint for ages. It feels like a nice blend of macos and windows but with real control. It's very nice on a laptop. And I would love to have Kwin on every computer I use
I love it when someone suggests arch linux to a long time windows user. It is such a nice cognitive dissonance.
Also you can't just say you are defending privacy and freedom and then go an praise a pedo racist president. It looks like you are playing both sides and will easily bend for the side that is more powerful in the end
Lol windows users shouldn't immediately switch to arch Linux. I've been using Linux for so many years yet arch is still too cumbersome to maintain. Installed Mint the last month and I think I'm set for the rest of my life
Are there any models trained on ethically sourced material? Even though this wouldn't necessarily solve the environmental impact, there are still many times when a traditional search engine just doesn't cut it. All else equal and without a self hosted workflow, I prefer tools that at least pretend to be privacy friendly (Duck.ai, AI Horde), and I had not heard of Proton's Lumo prior to this post, so I do appreciate the suggestion even if it doesn't meet all of our criteria.
LLMs are jot a trusted source of information, period. There is no use case that if I could not fond an answer on a search engine, I would trust the hallucinations from an LLM
i use a local llm for usage as a thesaurus, ask a question in regular language about what word can be used for a certain definition. this has been the only real usage ive found.
