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.

  • Google bad, tracking sucks
  • Android -> graphene
  • Keep -> joplin
  • Docs -> nextcloud
  • Gmail -> proton

GMaps -> car GPS

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

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.

Thats what Felix said, im personally a fan of OrganicMaps

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

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

[–] kalleboo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours 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.

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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

Tailscale -> Headscale after you get comfy.

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours 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)
