minus-square@governorkeagan@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkEnglish12•11 months agoStreetComplete is a great app to help contribute to OpenStreetMaps
minus-square@mertn@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink12•edit-211 months agoProton for email and cloud storage. Graphenos on a pixel 7a for phone. Phone spps from aurora and fdroid. Kagi.com paid search engine too.
minus-square@Sproux@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink10•11 months agoProtonmail is a free service with an optional subscription for extra features you almost certainly won’t need
minus-square@governorkeagan@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoThis. I used it for multiple months on the free plan and it worked perfectly.
minus-squarenoughtnautlinkfedilink10•11 months agoSeconded. Without a single word on replacements for email, calendar, phone, etc… this post is pretty much useless to everyone else than the OP.
minus-square@averyfalken@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink4•11 months agoI replaced most of that with proton mail and grapheme is which ironically requires a pixel
minus-square@rottenwheel@monero.townlinkfedilinkEnglish3•11 months agoNo sandboxed Google Play services yet? Can be challenging without.

minus-square@mertn@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink3•11 months agoSee above. Plus I use Thunderbird for calendar.
minus-squarenoughtnautlinkfedilink1•11 months agoGreat, thanks! How does Thunderbird work for you wrt to sharing calendars with others (eg. family) and syncing with eg. an Outlook calendar?
minus-square@mertn@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink1•11 months agoI only use Thunderbird calendar for myself so I don’t know. Proton includes a calendar offering in their package but I have not tried it yet.
