kiruaAlternatives to gmail products (gmail, office, etc)
shapisChrome -> Firefox
Gmail/Calendar/Drive -> Proton
Office -> LaTeX/LibreOffice
Maps -> Idk, not really many good options, apple maps is good too, but not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.
Jvrava9GPhotos->Immich
Maps->OsmAnd~ from F-Droid if on Android and Magic Earth on iOS
I love the idea of osmand. But it’s not a substitute for maps at all ATM sadly. Im fair confident that if I tried to use it to navigate somewhere in my city I’d die.
I’ll check immich tho.
KkOrganicMaps seems promising for its simplicity
I use an app called Waze for maps, but I don’t know if it’s dependent on Google api in the background or not.
Esquire the DukeUnfortunately Google bought Waze some years ago. The feature sets are being incorporated into Google Maps.
Dang. Was afraid of that. Wish I could say I’m surprised. :(
I like OpenStreetMap more than Google Maps.
I switched to Kagi search engine about 3 weeks ago and so far I love it! I’m never going back.
Same. Love Kagi.
Not really the same thing, but I switched from Google Drive to Syncthing. It’s not as secure in terms of “chance of losing your data”, but I’m replicating data on my main PC, on my phone and on my RPi Zero and this is good enough for me, at least for now. Ideally I would periodically encrypt and upload every synced folder to the cloud (just because it’s encrypted), but that’s for another day.
Syncthing is absolutely amazing, but it doesn’t server the same purpose as google drive, drive is more of a backup solution. syncthing is absolutely not that.
With your current setup if you get some ransomware that encrypts your files in any of your devices you’ll lose access to your files in all of them.
Syncthing is absolutely A tier software, but it’s explicitly not a backup solution.
you can switch from 365 to onlyoffice too
i use ecosia instead of google, i help the planet and it isn’t a bad search engine, st least for my use
Search (in order of ease):
You gotta wait for overture maps alternatives. It is an open map project by the linux foundation, microsoft, tomtom and some other companies. Its main purpose is to provide a competent competitor to google maps since these companies don’t want to pay google royalties for their map data. It can also help osm since it is under an open license i think. It is still in alpha though at the time of writing this…
