PurchaseWithPurpose website is live - with a new category! (purchasewithpurpose.io)
 

The website is officially live and includes a much-requested category - Password Managers.

There are also multiple website editions, based on your preferences or if you want to share it with a specific audience.

They are all the same tools, but different ones are highlighted or greyed out.

As always, don't hesitate to post to ask the community for help, whether you have questions about existing tools or are looking for new ones.

And for the people who prefer the simplicity of the infographic. Here it is!

Purchase with Purpose Core Guide

Absolutely, please go for it. Just include the links so people can find the resources easily - thanks!

And your thoughts on Qobuz?

Yeah sorry the Vivaldi was a mistake. You are correct that it is meant to be Non-EU ownership. The website covers this better and is correct

Thanks! I was least confident about the OS section and will definitely rework it. I'll post some ideas on https://lemmy.world/c/PurchaseWithPurpose when I've done an update to that section. Will definitely take the above into account.

arkenfox.js

I believe it is on a similar level, but don't quote me on that. They are both featured by privacytools and privacyguides. I'll look to add arkenfox as that was missed.

Sorry.. I've been so focused on the website that I forgot to include some of the feedback on the previous graphic. The website does include the profit share for them https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/

The website does that :) https://purchasewithpurpose.io/

But I agree, I'll look to expand the infographic with this as well.

I haven't used either directly, but the best I can offer is the category page, which does try to give some indication of this. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/

It sort of comes down to whether you like a singular-focused email service vs a full-fledged ecosystem.

I also found Tidal had the edge in user experience. I'm wondering how Deezer competes, as that is the next one for me to try.

That is a big part why Firefox and Firefox based browsers are so heavily favoured on the website.

I hadn't heard about the Gaza comments until now. Will be adding it to the growing list on their disclaimer page. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/D5JUoM1dZysf7JJgTAWXy/

Personally, I would have them on the left column, but there is a general divide in the EU community on whether they should still be encouraged as a "lesser of two evils". As a compromise, I have left them in with a huge disclaimer. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/D5JUoM1dZysf7JJgTAWXy/

I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

This is the first version, so I expect there to be a few mistakes. Please flag and provide feedback if you notice any improvements.

Discovered some fantastic options through this research. Hopefully this guide can help you!

PurchaseWithPurpose Weekly Lounge (lemmy.world)
 

A weekly thread where you can share and chat through your progress, challenges and anything in between!

This movement is not a sprint; it is a marathon. It isn't about one tool, it is about all services, products, and just supporting better businesses. Given the scale of this task, I thought a space like this might be helpful while I work on something bigger!

Few ideas of things you might want to share:

  • Any successes this week? New tool switched or product discovered?
  • Any challenges and failures you might have had? You aren't alone!
  • Got any questions on how certain new tools work?
  • Companies you want to shout-out for doing something good? Or the opposite!
  • Movements you feel that more people should support?
  • Guides or articles you found particularly useful or helpful?

These could also be their own posts, but sometimes it's easier to make a quick comment.
