Yeah sure, because everyone would’ve bought the content otherwise…

Let me guess… You have an Nvidia card.

Just buy a Fairphone from Murena with /e/OS preinstalled. You don’t have to do anything yourself. It mainly works like a phone without any issues, all the features I need work on it and I didn’t have to install it manually and supported the devs

Bro you guys are freaking out too much about AI. I mean a lot of companies are pushy about it but DuckDuckGo is not. There are actually quite a lot of use cases for me personally where AI can be really useful. DuckDuckGo is not Google or Microsoft. Chill out guys

where does the german administration require you to use Visa/MC? I never needed it. What about Kleinanzeigen btw?

I have never stated that it doesn’t have side effects, I just said it also has positive side effect compared to what was initially expected.

Wasn’t that the case with Ozempic? It was meant for diabetes patients first but then they noted the effect in reduced hunger and many other positive improvements which its why it has become as popular as it has

Use FreeTube and Tubular lmao

No one is forcing you to use it. Having a european AI like Lumo that encrypts transcripts is great in comparison to shady big tech companies. Yes I know the full context is sent each time the AI wants to generate something. But still, I’m happy they offer it.

You already have quite a good start. Wait for them to adjust and hear feedback before you switch all of it out. A major component might be mail but you might find more reluctance for them to change if they have specific contacts and accounts added. Whats nice about proton tho is you can add a gmail account to easyswitch and for the time being it will just like import/forward all the mails towards their proton account so the switch is easier.

You need to see and feel it out how far they’re willing to go/what they’re comfortable with. It would be nice to know what they rely on and like maybe a country so we can suggest alternatives (for example for amazon it highly depends on the country)

Damn, they make a separate payment app and then still make themselves dependent on US monopolies, that’s sad

Depending on how much it gets rolled out and when people demand it more it might just get rolled out late

https://werotracker.eu/ This website is quite decent but I don’t think you can subscribe/get a notification from it

10% is a bit ridiculous, unless you also add tax in. These pacmant providers increase prices 2,5% max, but for every digital european purchase thats quite a lot of money in total

But AFAIK Visa/MC only get money when the Debitcard network is used as fallback instead of Visa/MC even if it has their logo on it.

Wait thats crazy. For my banks it was always standard to issue Girocard for free and then Debit/Credit Card on demand

Wtf?? They wanted your bank password on a form of this? Sounds like a fucking scam website

Yeah I was mostly talking about european shops. Shops outside of Europe that don’t have SEPA often sadly can’t offer it. Sometimes there is no way to avoid but as long as you check and reduce usage less money will flow to them. I used to always use my Visa debit card as I didn’t like change and stuff but now I look for alternatives

I just changed to launcher to Kvaerisito. There’s like so many options to install

Preferably directly from the company Murena, as they develop /e/OS. Don’t have to sideload and lock the bootloader or do anything, and devs gotta eat!
