That singlehandedly caused me to begin actively moving away from Google starting yesterday. Gonna be a pain in the ass, but I'm working on it.

My interim e-mail solution is mailbox.org. Trying a 30-day free trial and annoyed at having to pay, but fuck it. It's cheap. Like $1-$3/month. Will see.

I'm assuming OpenStreetMaps has an app and plan to check today.

I've started decluttering/backing up my Drive and Photos so that I can unsubscribe from their recently-changed shit subscription structure without losing essential files.

Same, really want to switch, and I think after finishing this project I'm done with windows and Google. Not gonna lie, I dread switching agenda, drive, mail, maps... A lot of fucking useful stuff that I use for everything, but I don't just want to think they are too big to fail. Fuck their behaviour.

Organic Maps is the recommendation I've been seeing for OSM. I've been using it for a week or so and have been liking it so far.

I'm in a similar situation. Not to make the switch harder on you, but someone here posted a page with a bunch of reviews of email providers, calling out things like cost, privacy practices, and cooperation with the federal government. Here's their entry on mailbox.org. You might want to read through some of them while you're still in the free trial.

Of course. Ugh. Thank you for the resource.
