We're updating our dev tools based on ethical principles, moving away from companies with Trump administration ties. Though they may not meet the privacy-focused recommendations from advocates like @techlore.tech, below is our list of alternatives that align with our values:
Comments
- Calendar → Notion Databases
- Chrome → Brave
- Docs → Cryptpad
- Drive → Dropbox
- Forms → Notion Forms
- Gmail → Tuta
i use Firefox at the moment, is that a browser that aligns in those values? i dont know where firefox stands in all of this.
- Google Photos → Ente Photos
- Google Play Books → https://Bookshop.org
- Keep → Notesnook
- Google Sheets → Notion Databases
- Sites → Notion Sites
We also used Adobe products previously:
- Photoshop/ Lightroom → Affinity Photo
- Illustrator → Affinity Designer
- After Effects/ Premiere Pro → DaVinci Resolve
In addition to Google and Adobe, we've moved away from Meta's platforms, Twitter, and Spotify due to ethical concerns:
- Spotify → Tidal
- Meta/ Twitter → BlueSky (congratulations, you’re already here!)
