OsmAnd and Organic Maps. They’re both not as good as Google Maps. But at least when I use them Google doesn’t get to know that I traveled 15km across town to fuck a Tinder thot and buy bread.
I rarely interact in any meaningful way with anything in Google’s ecosystem these days. I’m still tied by a couple little whispy threads, but nothing serious. I’m running GrapheneOS with no Google apps, switched my email to Proton, switched to Firefox, search with Brave, use a NAS for cloud storage, and browse YouTube anonymously with NewPipe. Occasionally I’ll get an email on one of my old Gmail addresses, but other than that I feel like I’ve sufficiently deGoogled enough to feel safe.
I’m still waiting for somebody to give me a symmetry breaker between AI training on existing media and humans creating media from what they’ve seen, such that one is theft and the other is not.
