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).

Oh... wait 3-4 years and then you'll curse when the states use them against you. If it even takes that long... State Trojans, backdoors, etc. The list is endless... Or the reasons that can now lead to arrests. Political views, religious views, sexual views... it's becoming more and more of a target. Soon there will be digital IDs, digital euros, and at least one bank account linked to them dont forget age verification. The crackdown on VPNs, etc.
