    OSM instead of GMaps

    I couldn’t tolerate how it works at all, especially with American addresses. How do you do it?

    not using gmail

    What did you move to?

      In my area, most of the streets, public transit, etc. are all labelled. I usually don’t type out the full addresses, just the names of the building/street/place. I personally use CoMaps (a fork of Organic Maps created to be more community-led) and it all works fine. I downloaded the maps in my area and, before travelling anywhere, download the maps for where I’m going. Offline maps are great!

      I have a really weird thing where I actually like switching between different email providers every couple years or so. Maybe it’s because I don’t receive too many emails, but I find changing the email all my important accounts and forgetting about all the ones I don’t use anymore refreshing.

      First I tried Proton Mail, then moved to Tutamail, but I didn’t like both as they did not support IMAP out of the box so I couldn’t use things like Thunderbird. I then moved to “Disroot”, which was decent and supported IMAP, but now I use one called “Autistici”. Another good one I would recommend is mailfence, which I set up for a family member once.
