The annoyance is no notifications

Not true. I have GrapheneOS with no Google blobs in a profile where I have Signal from play store (via Aurora) and notifications work perfectly. Signal itself will turn on the no google mode for notifications if not available.

They were already losing before MS bought them.

You should be able to do it in all androids.

Personally, I absolutely hate the /e/OS launcher. It reminds me too much of iOS. And I honestly hate it.

You can install whatever launcher you want. No need to stay on the default (don’t like it either). One of my old phones has /e/os and I’m using Zim Launcher.

Arbitration typically tends not to be as neutral as a court. A court will always look how laws apply in a particular case. Arbitration may not do that. Arbitration takes power away from the consumer. Arbitration is not a court of law. It’s a dispute between an individual and a company. Don’t know how things are in Switzerland in this regard but I fear that it’s not as neutral as a court of law would be. Especially as the arbitrator is pre selected by the company.

Also in their TOS “No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions.” i.e. if the company would screw over dozens of people they can only complain one by one even if they are all the same case. If a class action or class arbitration could occur the company screwing over dozens of people it could be viewed as a whole hence it might be determined that what they are doing is systematic, and if it would be in court it could be seen as illegal.

Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer or any kind of legal expert.

In their TOS: “XVII. Dispute resolution by arbitration”

“Binding Arbitration. – you – waive your and NYM’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these T&Cs resolved in a court.”

A big red flag.

Couple of additions:

• translate -> deepL (AI based with a free tier (no account required)), or for websites FireFox has a builtin offline translation tool
• drive -> Filen (Zero knowledge, E2EE)
• search -> Kagi (paid), or one of the listed

Also check the Fossify apps.

Also Aurora store. It’s just a front-end to play store. One should also ditch all chromium based browsers for couple of reasons

1. Chromium is fully controlled by google
2. It enforces mono-culture in web browsers (it’s the internet explorer of $currentYear).

No problem. Since you plan to use FOSS in your product it would be nice if you’d donate money to FOSS projects as a thanks.

Since you seem to be pre-installing and configuring everything beforehand I’d recommend looking into OpenSuse instead of Mint as it’s an enterprise oriented distro. It has a lot of easy to use gui and cli admin tools (yast) that make life a lot easier for maintaining the distro.

Why is asking for advice a bad idea even if there is a commercial interest behind it? At least OP is honest about it. Wonder how many of the “asking for advice” post over the years here and elsewhere have had some kind of commercial interest behind them and OP has not disclosed it.

Was more talking about using any of them personally. They are quite unavoidable unfortunately when you have to do business with someone.

Worse (?), another doctor of mine is using Gmail for all her email with her patients, email that is used to send and receive test results, share intimate informations,…

This is quite the data breach. I’d take it up with the data protection officer of the company where the doctor work if applicable or with the national data protection agency. As a non-lawyer I’d say this is a breach of the GDPR and other laws. This doctor hands over highly confidential data to third parties.

American companies (big international player at least) don’t really care what regulation we have in the EU. They can just ignore it and if they get caught those fines are just a “cost of doing business”. The only way is not to use any of them.

It does. Art. 17 of the GDPR.

EU already has that. It’s called GDPR (see art. 17 & 19).

desktop application created using Electron

🤢 . That’s not an application. It’s just a bloated way a displaying a webpage. If you truly want to make a desktop application use something like QT.

Some random scripts off the web is a big 🚩.

Very true. Was just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.
