    In my area, most of the streets, public transit, etc. are all labelled. I usually don’t type out the full addresses, just the names of the building/street/place. I personally use CoMaps (a fork of Organic Maps created to be more community-led) and it all works fine. I downloaded the maps in my area and, before travelling anywhere, download the maps for where I’m going. Offline maps are great!

    I have a really weird thing where I actually like switching between different email providers every couple years or so. Maybe it’s because I don’t receive too many emails, but I find changing the email all my important accounts and forgetting about all the ones I don’t use anymore refreshing.

    First I tried Proton Mail, then moved to Tutamail, but I didn’t like both as they did not support IMAP out of the box so I couldn’t use things like Thunderbird. I then moved to “Disroot”, which was decent and supported IMAP, but now I use one called “Autistici”. Another good one I would recommend is mailfence, which I set up for a family member once.

      Huh, thanks for the warning as I’ve been wanting to try Betterbird as of late. I take it that the other providers you mentioned all support IMAP, right? Also never heard of CoMaps, thanks.

        Proton and Tutamail don’t support IMAP as they use their own system for encryption and whatnot, which means emails are more secure (as long as everyone uses Proton and Tutamail, which the majority of people don’t). I also find their built-in clients to be quite slow. Disroot, Autistici, and mailfence all support IMAP. There’s a bunch more good ones (both free and paid) that support IMAP. Lots of people uses mailbox.org, which is based in Germany, and some people use Fastmail, which is based in Australia.
