       Organic Maps. Another example of an app I found in F-Droid that turns out to be nicer than the BigTech one I switched from. Not disenshittification, but enhancification. It's great for walking & cycling. Nice to use. Works offline. Feels 'human-sized'. First time I used it was to find a bus stop. It showed me the right one & noted 'shelter + bench'. To compare, I looked the same up on Google Maps (web). The actual map was barely visible behind ads for local businesses. https://organicmaps.app

       I told local friends who know the area that I would get the bus from the bus stop near the Squirrel In A Top Hat. What are you babbling about, what squirrel, there's no squirrel, they said.The map says there’s a squirrel in a top hat, I said. No it doesn’t, they said, showing me squirrel-less Google Maps.Yes it does, I said, showing them the Squirrel In A Top Hat annotation in Organic Maps. I sent back this picture from the bus stop. #OrganicMaps #DanmarkSkifter  #Enshittification

       While making the final preparations before cancelling my Microsoft subscription in time for Denmark's Big Switch From Big Tech Day (March 20th), I discovered I still have a Dropbox account. If I'd forgotten I had it, then I was just digitally hoarding and don't need it. So this was an easy one to walk away from. Took me less than 20 minutes to delete the files and delete the account. So easy that I should be embarrassed to name it as A Goal and boast about it, but I'm not.#DanmarkSkifter

       From their OneDrive to my one drive#DanmarkSkifterGetting my photos off OneDrive was the last & longest thing I needed to do before shutting down Microsoft. It turned out to be an enjoyable process. I cleansed my digital hoard. I curated & kept what mattered. Now my photos are on my laptop, in my house, backed up on an external drive. I'd forgotten how streamlined & speedy it is to work locally, not in the cloud. Yet again, the process of disenshittification turned out to be enhancification.

       Glædelig Skiftedag! Happy ’Big Switch From Big Tech Day’ to all who celebrate. March 20th: the Spring equinox and the ’Denmark Switches’ campaign day of collective action with community events where people can help each other move to better digital solutions.I will be celebrating the day as Odin intended, by writing to yet another company that has locked me out of their app for the sin of not using Apple Store or Google Play. This time: Danish rail company DSB. #DanmarkSkifter
