The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

It can be hard to convince others to switch over to foss alternatives in that setting but as long you’re doing the right thing yourself that’s all that counts.
Keep supporting the developers building better software and the businesses will eventually take heed to their work.
You should replace apple with GrapheneOS, and icloud/G drive with preferrably self-hosted Nextcloud the only replacements for US payment processors (Visa, MasterCard, Amex etc.) are cash and Monero (on sites like shopinbit - EU based - moneromarket, XMRbazaar, monerica, kycnot.me, coincards) and cash/Monero-bought gift cards (coincards).
You can replace Intel/AMD with a RISC-V CPU (a well-funded open source CPU architecture, already available on Framework laptops, but still have a long way to go, so I'd recommend sticking with an AMD CPU since intel is known to be backdoored). You can buy (literally) anything using Monero using shopinbit (anything not listed can be sourced by them using their concierge service).
Does anyone know an app that has the same features of Google maps about the info of local stores/restaurants/bars etc?
I use OpenStreetMap.org on the PC, it has info about shops.
OSMand on the smartphone.
And brouter.web for planning bike commutes.
And it's still owned by Google for over a decade. Large companies have offices all over the place
