    You're an optimist. The fines were insignificant, and these companies are collecting more data than ever before.

  • Alternatives to having an Amazon wishlist?

  • @SrMono @OmegaMouse

    It's a nice alternative because you can insert a URL from your preferred store. This is also useful if you find a specific item for a lower price elsewhere, so you're not tied to Amazon. However, URL detection may not work in some stores. We tried fnac.com, but it couldn't detect the thumbnail or title.

    It's interesting to read about the people behind Wishlephant: two parents who wanted to make things easier for other parents without favoring the biggest online store - it's easier to support smaller and local stores: https://wishlephant.com/page/about

    ![Here's a screenshot of a testing wishlist. It shows a list of books with photos, titles, ISBNs, prices, and link to buy them. On the right, there's a button called "Claim." At the top, inside a yellow box, there's a message that says:

    "Welcome to a Wishlephant wishlist! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Mark what you want to give with "Claim". This way others can see that the gift has been taken. 🤫 For the person who created the list, it remains a surprise!"](https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/114/477/076/485/102/523/original/bfe508272aa8f8fc.png)

    As they say:

    "If we can’t generate enough revenue through privacy-respecting ads and subscriptions to support these costs, we may need to reconsider our approach."

    You can start by creating a new email address with another provider.

    Then, go to your Gmail settings and set it to redirect all new email that comes into your Gmail mailbox to your new email address.

    Gradually, you sign in to your favorite sites and replace your Gmail address with the new one. If you're subscribed to a lot of things, it can be overwhelming to do this all at once. So do it for your most important accounts first, and change the others as you go. :)

    Between Proton & kSuite, both are good, you just need to compare prices and features. :)

    Both have beautiful and modern interfaces - you can create a free account on both to test.

    Both companies offer very different services from each other included in their suite, e.g., Proton has a VPN and Password Manager, while Infomaniak offer video call, transfer of large files, office online etc.

    It also depends on whether you read your emails in a mobile app, browser or email client and the importance you attach to E2E encryption.

    Technically speaking, it's good. But 2 questions:

    Do you need end-to-end encrypted emails and cloud storage?If not, you may find cheaper alternatives (if cost is a thing for you). :)

    It's not just fast fashion like H&M, but European luxury brands also outsource their production to Asia. If you go to any department store with premium brands or outlet stores, you'll find that, except for shoes, which are often made in Portugal, Spain or Italy, clothing made in Europe is pretty rare. And when they are made in the EU, there are questions about the human rights conditions too.

    When you go to ethical local stores that produce their own textiles, design and production, a simple T-shirt will cost more than €100. That's just out of the reach of most people, especially families. So, to be able to compete and survive, it seems most European clothing brands are "obliged" to produce in Asia, otherwise they can't beat their competitors on price.

    4 things you can do before uninstalling #WhatsApp completely:

    1- Create a folder for messaging apps on your smartphone and install at least two alternatives to WhatsApp (such as Signal, Threema, Delta, Session, etc., depending on your values, country, and where you're most likely to find your contacts). This way, if you choose Signal and a friend chooses Threema, you'll both have a better chance of finding more friends on the apps you picked based on your preferences.

    2- Update your WhatsApp profile photo and status. Create an image showing the logos of the new apps where people can reach you. Write a short status message explaining that you're switching to new apps. If the new app doesn’t use your phone number as an ID, include your new ID in your avatar or status so people can easily find you.

    3- Post a story on WhatsApp. Let people know you’re switching because WhatsApp is no longer safe. Invite them to try alternative apps and suggest more than one option. Share invitation links and help spread the word.

    4- Turn off WhatsApp notifications and enable notifications for your new apps. Try to avoid opening WhatsApp unless it’s urgent. If you reply late on WhatsApp, let people know you’re using a different app and don't check WhatsApp as often.

    Most of the world's manufacturing is in Asia. Not just electronics, but textiles, clothing, shoes, tools, decorations and thousands of other things.

    But if we use the same logic, we shouldn't say an iPhone is American since it's made in China.
