fuck yeah, goodbye authy

Why? What’s wrong with Authy? I use it, Proton and Bitwarden. I could consolidate everything into Proton, but I’m concerned about having everything with one vendor.

as above trying to get away from american services, it’s really, youtube, google maps and iphone are only things im stuck with

I wish there was a good alternative to YouTube. I've been meaning to host a Peertube instance but that process is really not as straightforward as it should be if they want the platform to gain widespread adoption

Google Maps has pretty decent alternatives though:

  • For simply browsing the map I use OpenStreetMaps on desktop, and Organic Maps on mobile.
  • For navigation (by car) I used to use Waze (which is also owned by Google), but I've switched back to good ol' TomTom

As for iPhone.. personally I have a Google Pixel which I'm going to keep using till I can't anymore. After that I'm probably switching to Fairphone. They're a European company and their phones are right up my alley

Not op, but for me the main problem with Authy is that it is owned by an American company.

It's not the worst offender, but any American company is subject to the whims of the current administration. As an example, we're currently seeing how American sanctions lock people out of their Microsoft accounts at the International Court.

I've slowly been moving over my 2FA codes to Aegis.
