Working on removing myself from Google:

Step 1: get a nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 phone (a Pixel 🤦‍♂️) ✅

Step 2: start using nostr:npub18q57qr3t07qljnapzqldaqa7ru2qwfpfnjdrwvhk327n3sc82f0qqwrs6f mail ✅

Step 3: start using Proton Docs ✅

Still many steps ahead, but the direction is clear. nostr:note1w3m6k060zc30eqnaeh7ms4vqlyl4v0x3vggcfw7xsym8uxsudtxsy82r27

Switched to nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q4gnztg recently, most things just work (including all my banking apps, from multiple countries!). You realise the things that you miss are Google services! E.g. contacts sync, maps, etc.

OSM based apps like OSMAnd~ are good, but coverage may not be uniform. Also I found search sometimes breaks because the data is slightly different. E.g. recently I couldn't find a cafe on OSM because the OSM entry did not have "cafe" in it, and I was searching for "cafe name".

Also sharing location links are a bit more tedious, because now you have to convert to GMaps links for the recipient to open it in their maps app.

And I don't like the default keyboard. So I've been using the Futo keyboard, which is mostly fine.
