Let’s talk about deGoogling Android this week, since it’s a common topic of interest around here to talk about GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

I feel like Google services has been lacking for the better part of a decade to the degree that I am reluctant to rely on most Google services nowadays. However, I don’t think I have the effort to actively remove all traces of Google from my phone, as the cost of bootloader unlock and rooting is a bit too much for me.

So, I would like to hear what your deGoogling experiences, since I’m unlikely to do it myself.

    If you want to help make OSM better, there are a few apps that make it really easy to add details to your local area.

    Street Complete has gamified quests to add details to things, including hours to shops.

    Every Door is a step more detailed, but makes it really easy to add new things to the map.

    Organic Maps is a nice Google maps competitor that does make it easy to make edits while in it.

    Also, if you use maps in any other app, like bike share or fitness tracking, they probably use OSM data, so it can be worth making improvements where you can since it’ll make those services better too.
