==Mobile Operating Systems==
<b>Wichever OS you choose to install, don't install GAPPS!</b>
------------------------------------
===[https://lineageos.org/ LineageOS]===
The most popular community distribution of Google's Android operating system. Using Lineage, it is possible to have a fully-functional android phone without all of the integration with google services that android ordinarily entails. Many LineageOS users choose to install things that will interact with Google services, but it is not necessary to do so.
===[https://replicant.us Replicant]===
Android without any proprietary crap. Replicant is similar to Lineage in that it is a distribution of Android, but has a much stronger dedication to the principles of free (libre) software. In practice, this means that it doesn't work on nearly as many device models and that some drivers are missing (GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). It is an interesting project to help demonstrate how much Android relies on proprietary software to function, to debunk Google's myth that "Android is Free/libre software". '''Please note, you can order Replicant ready phones, shipped to anywhere, from the brilliant [https://autotelicresist.berlin/ AutotelicResist.Berlin].'''
===[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS]===
Partially open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps. Though it contains many proprietary parts, the community has ported the OS to a variety of existing devices beyond those sold by Jolla.
===GApps alternative / [https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki MicroG] ===
microG GmsCore is a free and open implementation of the Google Play Services Framework. It allows applications calling proprietary Google APIs to run on AOSP-based ROMs like Replicant and LineageOS. Acting as a replacement for the closed-source Google Apps (GAPPS), it is a powerful tool to reclaim your privacy while enjoying Android core features.
=== Near-future developments ===
===[https://www.openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap]===
It's just so much better than Google Maps! You can edit the map yourself and add roads, houses or stores. Whatever you find relevant. OpenStreetMap is entirely non-profit and contributive. With it people can (re)appropriate the map and the territory, and invent new uses for it (like disaster recovery in Haïti that abundantly used OSM). Inhabitants of small, isolated places can together get to much better cartography than what is of Google's financial interests. Data from OSM can be reused in each and every possible way, with no licensing conditions subjected to further changes.
For comparison to Google Maps: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/
Integrate OpenStreetMap in your website (Wordpress): https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm/
===[https://www.digital-democracy.org/mapeo/ Mapeo]===
Open source map software. Primarily designed for offline editing for indigenous territory mapping and environmental monitoring in remote environments focusing on p2p data.
===Arguments===
Giving Google a list of all the places you go not only help them profile your income and your habits, but it also enables them to target advertisement to you (according to where you may go) or predict your next moves. These data are invaluable for instance for insurance or transport companies to whom google may sell them. Geolocation data stored in Google servers, could potentially be used to incriminate people (you *were* at this protest, weren't you? You were not sick at home that day? etc.)
It is mainly for sharing and syncing files, but can do more. There are many apps to extend it, e.g. collaborative writing with [https://wiki.fuckoffgoogle.de/index.php?title=GoogleAlternatives#Collabora_Online Collabora].
