It's a nice alternative because you can insert a URL from your preferred store. This is also useful if you find a specific item for a lower price elsewhere, so you're not tied to Amazon. However, URL detection may not work in some stores. We tried fnac.com, but it couldn't detect the thumbnail or title.

It's interesting to read about the people behind Wishlephant: two parents who wanted to make things easier for other parents without favoring the biggest online store - it's easier to support smaller and local stores: https://wishlephant.com/page/about

Here's a screenshot of a testing wishlist. It shows a list of books with photos, titles, ISBNs, prices, and link to buy them. On the right, there's a button called "Claim." At the top, inside a yellow box, there's a message that says: "Welcome to a Wishlephant wishlist! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Mark what you want to give with "Claim". This way others can see that the gift has been taken. 🀫 For the person who created the list, it remains a surprise!"

As they say:

"If we can’t generate enough revenue through privacy-respecting ads and subscriptions to support these costs, we may need to reconsider our approach."

You can start by creating a new email address with another provider.

Then, go to your Gmail settings and set it to redirect all new email that comes into your Gmail mailbox to your new email address.

Gradually, you sign in to your favorite sites and replace your Gmail address with the new one. If you're subscribed to a lot of things, it can be overwhelming to do this all at once. So do it for your most important accounts first, and change the others as you go. :)

E2E encryption would be Proton, but you can use Proton Mail through their official app on mobile.

The main "problem" with Proton is usually related to using an e-mail client like Thunderbird, AppleMail, or Outlook to receive Proton e-mails on your desktop.

If you want to use Proton e-mail on Outlook or Thunderbird on desktop, you need to install Proton Bridge. This program will run automatically in the background. This is what handles the encryption and decryption of your emails as they enter and leave your computer. (it eliminates the complexity associated with manual encryption tools)

Since Proton Bridge is made for desktop, the only supported way to use Proton Mail *on smartphones* is through the official Proton Mail app.

Between Proton & kSuite, both are good, you just need to compare prices and features. :)

Both have beautiful and modern interfaces - you can create a free account on both to test.

Both companies offer very different services from each other included in their suite, e.g., Proton has a VPN and Password Manager, while Infomaniak offer video call, transfer of large files, office online etc.

It also depends on whether you read your emails in a mobile app, browser or email client and the importance you attach to E2E encryption.

Technically speaking, it's good. But 2 questions:

Do you need end-to-end encrypted emails and cloud storage?
If not, you may find cheaper alternatives (if cost is a thing for you). :)

It's probably an AI generated website. There are so many errors that we decided to ignore it.

It's not just fast fashion like H&M, but European luxury brands also outsource their production to Asia. If you go to any department store with premium brands or outlet stores, you'll find that, except for shoes, which are often made in Portugal, Spain or Italy, clothing made in Europe is pretty rare. And when they are made in the EU, there are questions about the human rights conditions too.

When you go to ethical local stores that produce their own textiles, design and production, a simple T-shirt will cost more than €100. That's just out of the reach of most people, especially families. So, to be able to compete and survive, it seems most European clothing brands are "obliged" to produce in Asia, otherwise they can't beat their competitors on price.

This is one of the most regrettable tales in history. :(
