Iphone > Fairphone

Windows > Linux

Google > Qwant

Gmail > Proton + My own domain

Youtube (music) > Digital audio player (it's just a modern name for a good old mp3)

Gilette > Mühle DE shaver + Proraso ( That was because I worked for P&G who own Gilette and never use their products out of spite)

Netflix > nothing (I'm okay with that... for now)

Pornhub > Xvideos 🤣

Damn. xvids and xhampster are both European

[–] msrb711@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

yup, gotta change up your media consumption.

Actually, Pornhub isn't American, it's Canadian, so keep using it all you want!

Thank you for the info! I didn't know that. But still not EU 😁

Netflix -> Yo Ho!

How do you like your Fairphone? Doesn’t it still run a Google based OS? I mean even if you “deGoogle” it, you’re still stuck in a rut of needing some amount of Google BS.

Also the > in your comment make it look your saying like.. Windows > Linux lol. Might as a - so it looks like an arrow rather than a greater than. Pedantry, I know.

Not OP but I've had my fairphone for a couple of months and I love it. I use e/OS on it so being free of googles clutches alone feels great. But what I really like is the thought that I will most likely keep this phone for well over 5 years.

[–] msage@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

fairphones have support for e/OS

[–] msrb711@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

yeah, I get your point and technically you're right.

I was going along the lines a small step is better than nothing.

Just Watch is a German service, a kind of search engine, that shows what movies and TV shows are available in different streaming services. It supports many local streaming services. For example, some TV channels / broadcasting companies, and even libraries, might have streaming services in your country, and Just Watch likely lists their content as well. There are many filters, etc., you can use to narrow down your search.
