Qobuz for my music streaming. The high quality bitrate actually does make a difference, and the apps are rich and well-featured while also being free from chaff. They also pay artists more than any of the other streaming services.
Not buying a SodaStream and instead bought one from Arendo. Probably not manufactured in EU, but the business itself is still located in Germany…
I also stopped buying Coca-Cola. If I do, the cheap one from the supermarket is usually ok for me.
Also using and supporting Open-Source projects.
Fuck, I’m a sodastream addict :-/ Bought the two last used though.
How hard is it to get a big co2 canister and hook it up correctly I wonder, those refills aren’t cheap, and apparently not EU.

Really in general that i watch and check my products more. I changed my mail provider to posteo and my OS to Cachy OS after i accidentally fried my Hard drives and had nothing much to lose anyways. I also managed to switch a good deal of my friends from discord to element for gaming and use gog next to steam now. But i also learned a great deal about different brands of household objects which i really never thought much about taking one or the other. Its quite fun and i am happy with the switch. Oh and yeah there is of course lemmy now. Only thing really missing for me is whatsapp and of course my whole smartphone which i guess i will change to an european product once it falls apart
Quite the switch over. Nice work.
Get a custom android os, like lineage or graphene os on your phone, if available.
Sadly not possible for my phone. Already checked. I will use it until it breaks i suppose as it seems like a waste to exchange it now

Using my Gmail account less and less, switching to mailbox.org.
Mailbox is so great for moving over a whole load of things away from google…email, calendar, contacts, online drive, etc.
My most recent success has been to move to Ecosia for 90% of searches.
Wasn’t Ecosia bought out by a shady company like two years ago? How has it been since?
Was it? Shit. The amount of research it takes to keep on top of this stuff…I better go read about the updated state of the search engine recommendations then.
I was looking to migrate my mails to a self-hosted Nextcloud instance, but Mailbox seems very appealing (and it would be cheaper than renting a VPS).
My only questions are: is there a feature like Snooze (or Follow-up reminders in Nextcloud parlance), can you have a unified mailbox for every address you have, and is there a limit to the number of domains you can have?
Don’t know about Nextcloud. I don’t have the expertise for self hosting email related stuff. I would end up with an unsafe setup or get my domain blacklisted or something. Privacy respecting solutions are so cheap anyway.
I was asking if those features were available in Mailbox. They are in Nextcloud, but knowing that Mailbox has them would entice me to move there instead of self-hostin (I share the same fears as you tbh)
I don’t know all the answers to your use cases. I use my own domain, so anything sent to the domain comes to a single inbox anyway. I haven’t tried with multiple email addresses.
Don’t know about snooze either because I use it exclusively through Thunderbird.
They have a free trial. I suggest you make a dummy account and try out whatever you want and see if it fits your use.
I completely switched my behaviour. Even my Halloween costume I bought from funidelia.at, a spanish company - can recommend, was nice quality and not overpriced. My supplements I buy from ESN and Rocka Nutrition (germany companies), and on the digital side I’m super happy (since already quite a while) with my mailbox.org (also german) subscription. Wouldn’t give it away any more now that I have it, it’s super neat and worth every penny.
And lemmy replaced reddit for me.
Going good :)
- Using Filen.io for backups of family photos and important documents.
- Moved all my important mail to Tuta, but leaving ”social” and unimportant ”shopping” history in my now secondary mail which I check way less often.
- We already use European domain and dns services.
- We already mainly buy local produce whenever we can.
Remember to make backups for tuta mail, i read a few people got locked out from their account and lost all mails.
Thank you.

Returning to OpenProject for management of projects and tasks in my organisation. It had helped us previously a lot and I am super happy to have it fully restored soon 😍
Thank you for sharing, I forgot about them!
