fuck Spotify though
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 (even tho it’s American) 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
They are owned by the American Block Inc., so that’s something to consider.
Oh fair, the whole point of the original post
Yeah, but to be fair I happily use Bandcamp even though it’s from the US.
Blender should be on there as an alternative to many Autodesk and Adobe products
Nothing (the smartphones) is Chinese actually
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.
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!)
Looking up, there are so many traditional appliance producers that were sold to US companies. Why is that? People still buy because of the trust in the old name (Braun, Bauknecht) but the profits go overseas.
But I found Siemens.
And some holding companies that hold a lot of brands. Most of them, I don’t know, but some might.
- Arçelik: Beko, Grundig, Altus, Blomberg, Leisure, Elektra Bregenz, Arctic, Flavel, Defy, Dawlance und Voltbek.
- Gorenje
- B/S/H: Bosch and Siemens
- Electrolux: AEG, Zanussi
oh no not the zanussi
There’s lots of questionable companies on both sides of that list.
Love it! Do you have it in a better quality so that people can print it out and distribute in person?
Also, would you be willing to share the source document, so that people can translate into other languages (and adapt the product lists to make it more relevant for their country)?
And what if we also wanted to boycott the OG Nazi firms?
Funny thing - Ford is on both lists.
