I can vouch for the Kdrive/Kmail from infomaniak. Great service for the price, the switch was almost seamless (with gmail forwarding to my @ik.me mail)

TIL that Bitwarden is an US company. I love the product but thats a risk

[–] [email protected] 1 points 30 minutes ago

What's the risk? That they would shut down operations randomly in the EU?

Switched to proton pass free from paid bitwarden and gotta say, its just better on so many fronts.

Why does it include iCloud, iMessage, and Keychain, but not Apple’s Calendar, Mail, and Maps

Most of Session's developers are Australian.

They moved their product to Switzerland because the Australian government started raiding them.

They seem to be a cool bunch but for some reason don't want to implement some wanted privacy features.

OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation

Mapy.cz is an absolute must for hiking in Czechia and Slovakia, Google maps isn't even close. Not sure how the situation is in other countries though

Curently trying it as my daily driver and it does pretty good job too

I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?

It's still federated so I guess it doesn't really matter much, but still...

They get funds from the EU, so I don't think it's a US organization

AFAIK HERE WeGo is an European maps app too.

These sharepics are simply not exhaustive. Having example alternatives and then pointing to one of three comparison websites, might be a better approach. But this would also be more convoluted.

That doesn't use osm. Imo, it is just not as good

[–] cosmicrookie 1 points 1 hour ago

Missing traffic updates for smaller countries is an issue with osm

+1, great alternative to gmaps, including traffic and public transport
