    I have to add a recommendation for https://supernotes.app/ (N.B. Not the Canadian e-notebook maker with almost the same name). I have been using supernotes for a while now and it’s something I actually enjoy using; a feeling that has been absent for a lot of tech products for a long time.

    They’re an independent business based in the UK and the owners are very active and responsive to supports. Works seamlessly for me across browsers(vivaldi), windows, linux (Mint) and android (GrapheneOS) and they have Mac, iOS, and a VR app. My only complaint is that I believe they host on AWS

    I’ve got no affiliation with them, I’m a customer and I really like what they do and how they do it (except AWS) and since they tend not to appear in these lists often I don’t think many people have heard of them.

    As has been better posed in another reply, unless you have some evidence of backdoors for end to end encryption of Signal, I’m going to personally dismiss your comments as bullshit.

    In any case, even using the signal app, Signal don’t have the scale or the commercial interest to weaponise my metadata in the way that meta can from WhatsApp use.

    I’ll stand by my comment that not all is EU, but signal remains a move in the right direction to improve privacy and security and reduce the US economic value extracted from my personal activity.

    Not all EU, but all moves in the right direction i think…

    Android to GrapheneOS

    WhatsApp to Signal

    Windows to Linux Mint

    Office365 to Libre office

    Chrome to Vivaldi

    Google search to Ecosia

    Google maps to Organic maps

    GMail / Calendar to Proton + own domain. (Not .com obviously)

    Google Drive to Proton Drive

    MS Onedrive to Filen

    Made a Raspberry Pi SFTP server also running syncthing. (Need to set it up to be a PiHole too)

    Kindle to Kobo

    Reddit to Lemmy

    Retro gaming on handhelds

    Streaming services to physical media (and self ripped digital files)

    Plus boycot all the fast food chains, coca-cola etc.

    That’s off the top of my head.
