There's lots of questionable companies on both sides of that list.

Blender should be on there as an alternative to many Autodesk and Adobe products

Isn’t booking.com a European company?

What's the best replacement for google workspace?

TIL there is an electronic company called 'Nothing'.

It's Carl Pei, the OnePlus guy. They look kinda neat, but update support isn't great, I think.

I feel a lot of appliance brands are missing but for some reason I can't think of any.

Also, many chocolate brands including Lindt, Tony's Chocolonely and Ritter Sport (didn't forget this time!)

Deezer used to be better until they blocked my access because I had to turn off my adblocker; I had a premium account at the time so sure I'll turn it off (a bit weird that it still asked), but it kept blocking my access...

It started blocking Firefox's built in tracker blocking... Even for Premium accounts!

I'll sail the high seas for anything not on Bandcamp at that point, fuck!

Tidal has been pretty good for me! Their Android Auto interface is horrible but I don't use Android Auto anyways so no biggie

For mail and cloud services, I also highly recommend Infomaniak !

Basically a replacement for Google Docs (and integrated Web editor that even support draw.io files) , Emails, Teams, and website hosting including.

Conspicuously missing. Technically the nonprofit foundation behind signal is American but it's open source so it doesn't really 'belong' anywhere.

Backend is AWS though.

I agree with the spirit but do not consider Viaplay especially if you are in the Netherlands. The price you pay for the absolute lack of quality you get and their unfair monopolising of licenses are ridiculous.

Maybe take a second look at recommending Proton Mail

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 3 points 8 hours ago

I mean... It is European...

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

And what if we also wanted to boycott the OG Nazi firms?

[–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 minutes ago

Funny thing - Ford is on both lists.

This sounds exactly like the other side of the "Make America Great Again" coin, MEUGA
