If you love #openstreetmap and use their maps on your smartphone, you might know #OrganicMaps, what you might not have heard is that there have been some transparency issues and there is now a fork you might prefer, #CoMaps https://itsfoss.com/news/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

Just completed a 1500km trip across France & Spain using AndroidAuto + #CoMaps instead of GMaps. Except for the search engine that is less complete than Google Maps, the guiding was top notch!! One step closer to fully #degoogle my life! Great work #OrganicMaps#CoMaps devs https://www.comaps.app

So I've just started using @organicmaps as an alternative to Google Maps and been really liking it so far! A little rough around the edges but very much comparable in both feature set and experience, definitely a keeper! ❤️

I’m trying out @fastmail but because they don’t offer a widget or a standalone app for the calendar, it takes 4 taps (edit: 2 if you enable the bottom menu) to simply check my calendar for the day 💀

1) Open #Fastmail app
2) Open side menu
3) Open drop-down menu
4) Finally switch to calendar view

I submitted a ticket to make sure I wasn’t missing anything (edit: workaround is to use #iOS Calendar app) but is anyone successfully using Fastmail as a #Google Calendar replacement? My current setup:

Another huge issue with #Fastmail calendar: there is zero integration with map apps.

Need to navigate to an appointment? Tapping the “Where” field does nothing, because it’s plain text! Need to add a location? Manually search and copy/paste the address (or as Fastmail Support suggested, the Google Maps URL), then open Google Maps again when you’re heading out.

Apple Maps sucks and #OrganicMaps is horribly outdated and won’t even let me log in with my #OSM account… de-Googling is impossible 🫠

Creating a new event in the Fastmail calendar. I have “Daily Fuel”, a local restaurant, typed into the “Where” field. At this point, Google Calendar will pull in the Google Map info for this event. Fastmail does nothing.

Viewing an event imported from Google Calendar in Fastmail’s calendar. The full address is there, but it’s just plain text, so tapping on it does nothing.

Observation. #GoogleMaps has updated the #GulfOfMexico to be #GulfOfAmerica. #OpenStreetMap apps such as #OSMand and #OrganicMaps have not. And it isn't for lack of contribution; there's tons of contributions in this area of the map just in the last couple hours. It's just that, as an open source non profit not based in the US; it's a little less susceptible to political nonsense like renaming a body of water to be more 'Murican. Who would've thought maps could get political.

A screenshot of OSMand showing the Gulf of Mexico still labeled correctly.

Get a NAS with #Docker support (like #TrueNAS. You can install web-services like @nextcloud which is a completely self hostable Google Drive/Google Docs replacement with addons to extend functionality.

#DuckDuckGo is currently the best search engine that isn't self hosted however #SearXNG is self hostable and very customisable.

#OSMAnd (customisable) or #OrganicMaps (straight forward) for Maps. Both use #OpenStreetMaps

#Android replacement, well Android. I personally recommend @calyxos which comes with an open source replacement to emulate Play Services called #MicroG

Although #Proton is technically a great service, CEO has come out as a Trump supporter so I'll leave that to your personal opinon. Another good service is @Tutanota
