European providers for email aliases and temporary phone numbers? (programming.dev)

PrivacyGuide.net mostly has US providers for these and given the current situation with the US, let's say using US services doesn't feel very private at all, regardless of how strong the claims are.

I'm not looking for total privacy, but just to start being more private until the EU gets its ducks a row regarding payment systems (VISA and Mastercard still dominate and make you transparent or at least translucid).

That's just being defeatist. Not my jam. Thanks.

Common sense should prevail, but everyone else will ignore it anyway. As soon as I mentioned gpg, I was met with immediate opposition... Why bother arguing with people who are resistant to learning? It's pointless. So trust Europe... Hitler was too long ago... You can no longer imagine the consequences... Just carry on and wait 3-4 years, then you'll regret it.

In addition, the question before that was which service could still be trusted... That alone says it all... You can't trust a third party... Never...
