There should be more on https://alternativeto.net/ when you search “DeepL” for alternatives

Since many are listed here but I am sure there are more

Very true but you can dual wield that watch with an actual full-blown open source smart watch when the full one becomes a thing

Interesting I’ll check them out appreciate the suggestion too

Will for sure do the last part to support Proton, and developer time in those Linux phone solutions they have covered. Just trying to figure out the new hardware too so we are not locked out fully from new tech

Great points non so no worries! Aren’t they partnering with a new OEM though? But I guess that would probably still have the same problem

Thinking to put together a website of what people have suggested in various posts to develop this initiative more overtime in various ways. Any other problems you can think of?

Appreciate it! Do you mean the FSF Librephone? It’s not a new phone in case you didn’t know. They clarified that the project will be to make the proprietary code blobs of a couple android phone into something FOSS so it can truly be used fully for FOSS development

That makes a lot of sense. So really we would need to make a database of local e-shops and then partner up to have phones sold. That is a genius plan to get into the public eye

No worries, great points you listed and definitely good angles on how to tackle it. Definitely will need a wide range of solutions done in tandem and those are definitely up there as well

I completely forgot about Pixelfed. Haven’t tried it yet any clients you would recommend for it?

Here is their alternativeto.net info page: https://alternativeto.net/software/revolt-chat/about/ (Great website to find open source alternatives to other stuff as well)

And here is their actual website: https://stoat.chat/

https://alternativeto.net/ (The website is not FOSS but they list all kinds of alternatives to many things that are open source)

Libretube

It will happen though everything takes time and effort. Wonder what a Mastercard/Visa open source alternative would even look like though. Facebook alt I am debating making myself with a team of interested people but building it out to see how it would be done

Open Source Alternatives:

• PostmarketOS, Mobian, Ubuntu Touch, and FSF Librephone (Europe should partner with them all for funding)
• All kinds of AWS, and Google alts for each product: alternativeto.net shows plenty
• A person is making a LinkedIn/Indeed alternative (They posted on the Open Source community here on Lemmy) and want to make a team overtime too
• Stoat for open source Discord alt also a team in place
• A team is working on Flashes (IG Alt)
• Another team on Spark.so (TTok Alt) 2 decent alternatives for now until we get full blown decentralized options

2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe

Motorola too to add on

That’s a clever suggestion. That would need multiple people and companies to partner up but very viable. Can also make a foundation to help setup that standard too

That’s a lot of great suggestions wonder who can make something like that because I want it too

Hmmm well for what I know so far based on your very thorough you seem capable and will be if not yet. Anything can be figured out and you look like you have done the pre-work to know what to do. Now you just need a team of people to back you up and consistent action to get it done (I’m not an accountant either haha) But I am hopeful you can do it or assist another person who wants to do that to do the same. Whichever you prefer

I get your point but I mean any countries actually lead by people who want better whether it is Europe or other countries such as Latin America, Africa, or Asia. I’m just getting the ball rolling. Genuinely asking, do you know other countries with stronger protections? Also those things are getting blocked from happening even though they keep trying. It still stands they are moving away from big tech and switching to open source alternatives which is an opportunity. Doing nothing won’t grow the ecosystem and this is one many possibilities to grow altogether. Very often things worth fighting for are not easy

We can do it with multiple countries as well to make it less centralized of an effort

Speak friend, and enter. Double tap chest in sign of respect

That’s a great initiative to setup. Do you know anyone with experience for that or do you plan to set it up? Would love for that to become a thing and can see many people rallying with you to get it done

Those are some great points listed! And ha too true for last one
