If there's an article with words, can you pass it along? I'm not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.

Life's too short to listen to people who talk slow.

Articles too much time too, so I made you this

  • Google bad, tracking sucks
  • Android -> graphene
  • Keep -> joplin
  • Docs -> nextcloud
  • Gmail -> proton
  • GMaps -> car GPS
  • Tailscale
  • Selfhosted on SteamDeck

GMaps -> car GPS

What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.

Because traffic data can't be obtained without some tracking...

[–] kalleboo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Great info so that's why non popular japaneese car app is working great for him

I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Either way the problem isn't with the technology, but with how many people in a road junction is using that software.

Thats what Felix said, im personally a fan of OrganicMaps

[–] rfr_Foglia@feddit.it 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Investigate CoMaps... There's some drama around Organic Maps due to bad leadership

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

It is up to you

Personally I don't see anything wrong

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.

Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.

Organic died shortly ago (they'd been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Can't say I agree

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think he actually used something else than proton, he didn’t mention though. Except that he uses his own domain name.

I drive believe he has started hosting his own email though

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

That is very hard to do

I salute anyone who tries but big tech as sort of captured the market.

  • Gmail -> proton

I recommend Tuta over Proton. They're much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta's leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton's

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I kinda use most of proton's stuff. Also I'm not on the us so no idea what the second part means

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

The Proton CEO praised Trump and his control and choices regarding IT and antitrust some months ago. People said it was a "one-off" but then the Proton board backed up the CEO. Writing's been on the wall for a while.

Tailscale -> Headscale after you get comfy.

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's on my to-research list. I heard some rumblings that tailscale might go IPO. Not that's bad by itself but I have been burned by stuff like that leaving me stranded once they "pivot their operations to maximize investor satisfaction" (aka enshittification)
