What about Magic Earth as a maps replacement?
Thanks! Someone else suggested that to me as well. It’s hard when I have only 3-4 spots per category. If I don’t use this to replace one of the others, I can at least add it to the links page.
I looked at Here we go, and there were a lot of complaints about the navigation giving illegal instructions.
Thank you! I might just replace it with Magic Earth.
That’s what I’ve been using and it works great, though I’d prefer to use something FOSS. But everyone just always seems to vouch for Magic Earth and I guess vetted their privacy policy pretty well.
Wouldn’t recommend zoho either, from India a country which heavily exploited user privacy and is in talks to ban proton mail
Why does this suggest that Organic Maps cost money? https://organicmaps.app/
Whoops! I’ll fix it.
That’s rather bizarre to have Zoho there for documents but not for email.
I’m curious, does anyone here still uses Google? It seems like this community largely moved away from those services some time ago.
Yeah, I figured I was preaching to the choir here! But if you feel the info would help others who are not here, please do share.
Needs Qwant search.
Qwant search
Interesting! Is it totally free? Looks like it. If it’s free and good and not problematic, maybe I’ll use it to replace Kagi.
Unfortunately Qwant is free. I really want to pay a one-off fee to remove ads but that’s not an option. It’s also less feature-rich than Kagi (can’t hide certain domains from search, for example). Also, it blocks me from using it whenever I set my VPN to singapore because they haven’t set up ads there yet.
What makes Qwant noteworthy is that it uses it’s own web-crawler. And unlike Mojeek this web-crawler is half-way decent, although it is weirdly common for pornography to come up. Most other search engines are based on either Google or Bing.
Thanks for the info! That’s interesting, I’m also happy to pay for ad-free. I’ll test it out in any case.
The fuck is Here WeGo? Is it open source
Good to see Nextcloud mentioned, it kills many birds with one stone
Yes, that was recommended by someone in /Privacy.
Kagi is problematic since it funds Russia through yandex. Also, organic maps is completely free.
I’ll fix OM!
