Google Voice - Cheogram

Search - Duck Duck Go or Start Page

Contacts - NextCloud

Calendar - NextCloud

Tasks - Task.Org

Keep - Joplin

Maps - Magic Earth

Passwords & Sign In - Bitwarden or Keepass

Docs & Sheets - Open Office

Gmail - Proton or Tutanota

Dialer - Simple Dialer

Files - Material Files

Chrome - Firefox

YouTube - Peertube

Photos - NextCloud

Bookmarks - NextCloud, Floccus, or XBrowsersync

I use all of these but I still have to use Google Voice and Maps because they are just superior to everything else that I have tried imo. And I sometimes use gmail too because certain website logins are locked to my old Gmail's.

Not open office, use libre office.

Not Libra Office, Only Office. After all we are replacing Google, so we need integrated collab (without an RDP hack).

OnlyOffice is run by Russians.

Is everyone in Russia responsible for the actions of their government?

[–] danielo515@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, but totalitarian governments tend to get into everything, and a popular piece of software is something they will be interested in.

[–] kenbw2@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I always find it amusing how everyone makes these statements for Russian/Chinese software but never look at the government interest in Facebook, Google etc
