*most are made in Germany

VARTA does have batteries produced outside of Germany, usually more niche types though. It’s always labeled on the front if actually made in DE, if not explicitly stated, it’s usually China.

Edit: I still rate them, if the type of battery I need happens to be made in DE I always get the Varta variant

Fair point and good call out!

I always assume that we have the sense to double check any recommends.

On a related note, I believe that due to the nature of FOSS and it being “borderless” that those alternatives should also be relevant.

A switch away from US big-tech is great, but the switch should be made to something fundamentally better and more secure/privacy preserving IMO.

Not every single tool you might need will have a recommendation on this website, but some will and they're well researched and vetted alternatives that often perform better than the service you're replacing.
