Hi, I have mostly degoogled since last year. Now switching to all european. Although there are a few things I am still struggling with. What are you currently using to replace the followings and what is your feedback on it? Feel free to also mention unlisted things which you've been impressed about!

  • Google maps/waze:

=> I use waze while driving mostly for real time alerts such as accidents and police control. What have you found to be the best alternative on this side?

=> I use google maps for going to places by walking or bus, which is not present on Waze. I also use it to see restaurants reviews and so on. Is there any platform with people's feedback?

I have just downloaded Tomtom ami go, osmand and organic map and will be testing testing them out.

  • Drive that syncs with everything automatically

=> Currently on Microsoft one drive. I have a samsung phone and it saves my photos automatically. It also saves all the files on my computer automatically.

Admittedly, on my phone, when I try to go back to old drive pictures, it's a disaster and nothing loads. Any alternative which would allow seamless syncing and work better than this? I might look into moving to Linux later on when i get the time, currently on windows 11.

  • Google find.

=> oh do I dislike Google having my position at all time. I have samsung find too, but it only detects my samsung devices and ignore my earbuds. Any good recommandation of a service with good privacy? Any which would work with motorola smarttag?

  • While I'm here: windows 11 on laptop. Which alternative set up have you chosen and why?

  • Anything which beats the free version of NanoGPT? I already have Lechat, but nanoGPT answers on the free version have been more detailed and accurate.

Ideally, I have a focus on privacy.

Thank you for your help!

At least the !BuyFromEU@europe.pub admin said they would contact the mods of !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, hopefully some consolidation can happen: https://europe.pub/post/514

There are some amazing sneaker brands from Europe. Few of them are :

Adidas (Germany), Puma (Germany), VEJA (France), Salomon (France), Diadora (Italy), Karhu (Finland), Gola (United Kingdom), Superga (Italy), Hummel (Denmark), Munich (Spain)

Adidas and puma is obviously my fav but there are many others.

Please share your fav European brand for our sneaker heads :)

You also need an API key for the Gemini API. You can get one by creating an account on aistudio.google.com and then creating an API key.

So this is basically a wrapper for Gemini?

95% publicly funded

ARTE is a public service broadcaster that is 95% funded by France and Germany, each of which has their own specific funding arrangements for public service broadcasting. In France, public service broadcasting is currently funded through a fraction of VAT proceeds, whereas in Germany, the main source of funding for its public service channels is the licence fee. ARTE does not run advertising, other than for public interest campaigns, but may generate some income of its own, in particular through sponsorship arrangements.

This is an older slogan, but in times of boycotting american products it comes with an extra punch.

I am trying to replace my reliance on youtube.

I use GrayJay and have Youtube, DailyMotion(French) and PeerTube set up as sources.

Unfortunately PeerTube has really bad discoverability or little content, I don't know which.

I subscribe to Gardiner Bryant, VKC, TechLore, PrivacyGuides and a few more.

What channels do you recommend?
