I’ve got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn’t? Any tools that you’re just waiting for a chance to replace but can’t yet?

    Noooooo. Nothing is wrong with Tuta, they are awesome. The compromise is that PayPal knows that I subscribe to Tuta and BitWarden.

    As for Waze, it has been bought by Google a long time ago. If you have Android, you can restrict the location to “when the application is running,” but it’s still Google behind.

      ohhhhh. I see. I guess that’s still better than maps. Do you think it had use of all the same geography as Google maps then?

        The geographical data was always good, and you can use it without an account. The algorithm itself has improved a lot. It used to be very bad in the past though, it would switch the route every five minute to gain a few seconds towards the destination, but they stopped doing that.

        CoMaps looks great, but it’s still buggy and I don’t know how to have some traffic data.
