Thanks for replying, I’ll be looking into this later!

If it’s better to DM please do, but what service do you use? At the moment I’ve been using arr with torrents for… ISO… And would like to take the step to usenet

Every day I regret my purchase more and more. I guess it is time to tape my cameras and debadge my car?

I don’t have any other option unless it’s downloading their shitty app for MFA.

Here is Elena’s message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!

Hitching on the wagon that Pixelfed is leading is good. There’s a lot of talk even from those who don’t care about FOSS, or Fediverse projects. Let’s give some credit and let things slide so the whole can succeed.

I get triggered when a for profit entity (like ESRI) uses open data and then sells it to governments…

As a Canadian I have seen our government crumble to for-profit entities. The issue is that a lot of governments do not want the liability of something if it fails.

Will EU countries that planned to use open source options and their own staff, already on the payroll, still likely create a procurement plan for maintenance and ongoing tech support?

Has anyone found a decent option to replace PayPal?

That’s their plan…

Let’s break it down. Just because a solution is European, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s better or more trustworthy when it comes to your data and privacy. While some European solutions might be great, it’s not a guarantee that they’re all created equal or that they’re more committed to protecting your information.

It’s not like all European companies are die-hard advocates for privacy, fairness, and openness. Each one has its own approach and priorities, just like their North American counterparts. So, it’s essential to do your research and evaluate each solution on its own merits, rather than making assumptions based on its geographical origin.

That being said, if you’re looking for a temporary solution while you search for something you can really trust, a European option might be a good stopgap. It’s not a permanent fix, but it can help you bridge the gap until you find a solution that truly aligns with your values and priorities. Just remember to keep looking and don’t get too comfortable – your data and privacy are worth the extra effort to find the right fit.
