Murena.com works fine for me as an alternative to Google / Proton

Ah its nice to see lemmy grow. Now we can have fedderated senseless screaming matches just like the big social networks.

I love that OP got more hate for using brave than tiktok :D . Anyway good job and happy degoogling :)

Dann wird dir das Preismodell von Mullvad gefallen :) https://mullvad.net/de/pricing (Evtl. für Deutsche wichtig: Da kann man auch Bar zahlen.)

Based on their specs the twingo will do 130 and the spring 125 km/h . Both fine for shorter trips to the next city or so.

Switched from audible to libro.fm and Thalia.de . Yes libro is still US but you can select a local book shop that gets a share of your subscription. The crazy part is, in both cases you actually download mp3 or even m4b files that you can save on YOUR system.

Yes until you delete your cookies... Having AI as default is whats my problem.

You can still use booking. You just don't need to do the booking via booking. Most Hotels have their own Homepage. Just book from them. It's cheaper anyway. For Airbnb I see no real alternative. You might search for camping places via your preffered map app. They are often not listed on either platform.

Bro uninstalled tiktok. Congratulations :)

If you want to de-google you should also look into murena.io as it also includes cloud storage and document editing.

Omg that song is awesome. Thank you for the recommendation!

Qbz worked really good for me https://github.com/vicrodh/qbz

OK... Well... Shit. Guess I will go back to looking for something else. Thanks for the hint. Will delete this post now :D

They seem to use another service ( https://mangrove.reviews/ ) to save the reviews. On first read this does sound interesting and I will have a look at it. Thanks :)

Banking worked once I added a Google account to microg. Which is not the best I know, but thats a compromise for now. With e/os and others you also habe to keep in mind that not all images allow you to lock your bootloader.

Soundcloud also exists. I tried all of your mentions but switched back to Soundcloud for different reasons. Deezers ownership being one. Btw. all oft these sites have tools to move your playlists etc

Thank you for mentioning mapy.com .Yes its not FOSS but it is the only non big tech map that I know of that has traffic and even location ratings. The later beging the thing I miss the most when using other FOSS apps.

I always find it funny how upbeat the Cambodia version by Pulsedriver is. PTSD and dropping bombs on cambodia. What a topic for a dance tune.

Hm I might also check them in the future for reference. I would really like to have the TripAdvisor integration they have, but in a FOSS app. But I guess there would be some licencing issues.

As others pointed out herbs might be the only thing that come close to being cheaper. Speaking oft herbs - Weed might be the only thing that fits your requirements thats actually cheaper this way.
