Switching from Big Tech is not always easy. You get used to their ways and they make it hard to switch. Are you ready to make the switch? Are you ready to help your friends make the switch? There are alternatives. One of them is @npub19rt0...adh9, the browser company I co-founded in 2012. I invite you to join us.

One of the many features we have in @npub19rt0...adh9 is the Calendar. We had some important requirements when we made it: 1. Flexibility in display. So many calendars cut a lot of information. We want everything you want to be visible to be visible. 2. Inline editing option. Means you can see everything else while adding or editing an event. 3. Easy to use with the keyboard. 4. Both offline and online accounts. Means you can choose whether events are stored in the cloud or just locally on your computer. If you have not tried it, give it a try. Available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Bonus : Makes it easier to move away from Big Tech. #Windows #macos #Linux #browser #Mail #Calendar #Vivaldi

Many are switching away from Big Tech right now. There are many reasons to do so. Have you? I understand that switching out everything in one go may not be feasible for everyone, but you can always take smaller steps. #BigTech #Technology #Linux #Mastodon #fediverse #Politics
Ready to move away from Big Tech? There are options. Choosing those options will require you to learn something new, but that is a small cost to pay to get away from Big Tech, IMHO Here are my suggestions. Feel free to add your own: 1. Browser : Vivaldi. That one is a given for me, obviously. 2. Mail client : Vivaldi. You may wonder why you need a mail client, but besides the technical benefits, it makes it a lot easier to move between mail services or even use more than one. 3. Mail service : Fastmail. They have been around for a long time. 4. Office software : Libre Office. 5. Video conference : Whereby. 6. Desktop OS : Linux. 7. Social : Mastodon and the Fediverse in general. As said, I am eager to hear what you are using to help me move away from Big Tech as well. Always looking for new things to try. #Mastodon #fediverse #Linux #Windows #BigTech #Politics #Technology #Computers
Are you going to listen to Microsoft or are you going to download Vivaldi? #Windows #Linux #Macos #Vivaldi image
Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies. What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules? The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage. Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand. #Windows #Macos #Linux #fediverse #Mastodon #Regulation #Politics #Vivaldi
You are here. That makes you unique. You have made a good choice to take a step away from Big Tech. Now, get more people to join us. Help them with the initial process of setting things up. If you have not done so already, download an alternative browser, such as Vivaldi as well. Consider whether you can move away from other Big Tech services. At Vivaldi, for example, we use Whereby for video conferences. Many of us have moved to Linux. Many of us use LibreOffice, instead of Microsoft office. There are options if you look for them. It is easy to go with Big Tech, but if you think the world would be better without them or if they had less power, know that you can make a difference. #Vivaldi #fediverse #Mastodon #Windows #Microsoft #BigTech #Apple #Linux #Macos #Software #Regulation
