I’m so used to GPG, I no longer know which parts aren’t user friendly.

The hard part is getting used to it. How do I share my public keys? How do I use GPG (the program)? How do I access them easily? What do I do when I want to encrypt my mails on desktop (maybe Windows+Linux), laptop, and phone? It’s just relatively much work to gather the knowledge.

+ the fact there’re not many people using it

An open-source, federated, and privacy-protecting alternative to the dominant advertising services. Something that gives the individual web user full control of which ads they see; from which indies, organizations, companies or any other groups. And where they can also filter ads based on clear categories, values, or tags, rather than everything being dictated by algorithms and β€œrelevancy”.

I actually didn’t think about it much, because I block all ads. But consumerism can be fun, I wouldn’t mind ads if I had a say in which I see.

Weird how neolibs are proponents of the free market all the time, but at the same time insist on shoving crap we don’t want down our throats. I like your suggestion.

Signal works. The adoption is fairly slow, but I’ve had friends slowly begin to use it.

Do services count? Because in that case, ride-hailing. A replacement for services like Uber and Lyft.

So true! In Germany we have Blablacar and Flixbus / Flixtrain, which have soo much better services to travel cheaply. But its proprietary β€œinstall our app” garbage

GadgetBridge (Android). You need one of the (many) supported smartwatches. Data is easily exported and processable with, eg, R.
