Any recommendations? It seems a lot of my alternatives are turning heel and I would like more options. Preferably ones not likely to turn heel.

Not a complete list, but

  • Adobe: krita, gimp, inkscape
  • Microsoft: linux, libreoffice, codeberg, playstation
  • Apple: de-googled android, linux
  • Google: de-googled android, tutanota, duckduckgo or kagi, libreoffice
  • Amazon: *arr suite for amazon video, little choice for amazon the logistic company

Amazon is barely a thing here in Sweden. It’s niche drop shipped garbage for the most part, very similar to Wish and the like.

They have some non-garbage stuff at the same price you find elsewhere.

They also don’t do logistics here. Utterly useless company.

Yeah they pulled out of QC so if I wasn't so close to Ontario they'd be completely useless for me in canada too. Not that I haven't avoided them for big purchases like computer stuff already, gonna have to look what general marketplaces we have otherwise lol
