It’s still better than the vast majority of similar guides that are posted. Most of them seem to be proton ads, which is an objectively worse thing, and most others have stuff like brave on the list. And it’s not like they tried to hide it here, it’s right there at the bottom. Seeing them actually give alternatives to even their own things is great IMO. The only fault here was OP not making it clear in the title where the image is from, no matter how obvious that is.
I was also wondering about the order of the alternatives.
It feels like the first entry is the “best” to replace tge google service but IMO some are not even close to other lower placed alternatives.
I don’t want brands to think there’s a loophole they can exploit by half-heartedly endorsing FOSS for nefarious advertising. “Coke tastes great with the user agency of Linux” is still an ad for Coke.
A lot of these are filler. It’s an add for a specific product disguised as one of this endless lists, but they couldn’t stop themselves from being obvious
Are we doing ads now here? And are we, like, OK with it now?
On second thought you’re absolutely right. Report created.
edit: oh, this is YSK, I was thinking more about IT communities.
Bruh chill a lot of these are FOSS
This is an ad for Tuta, which server side software is, AFAIK proprietary. You cannot self-host.
Yeah and that Tutao stuff looks pretty appealing with those nice bold letters and top placement.
