Microsoft SwiftKey on my phone. I've been using it since before it was acquired by Microsoft. It is an incredible keyboard and after using it for years, I am very fast on it. I ditched it for about 6 months last year for the FOSS alternative HeliBoard, but it negatively impacted my typing speed so much that I recently gave up and reverted to SwiftKey.
Google Maps also on my phone, because it works really well compared to the alternatives I've tried. I've used (and contributed to) OSM, but it's just not a drop-in replacement for Google Maps yet.
I "[verified my identity](https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/)" on LinkedIn a while back because I'm job hunting.

I can't validate our use of them, but I can at least commiserate. Heliboard was so much slower it wasn't even funny. SwiftKey just knows what I'm trying to say and I can type as lazily as I want. Heliboard had to be nearly perfect to even have a chance of autocorrecting correctly. Google Maps too, I'm not ready to give it up.

Is LinkedIn even useful to you? Every time I've gone job searching, I've found a bunch on indeed and barely anything on LinkedIn.
