Yeah and Vela Maps does it even better

I already have Vela Maps for those lookups, thank you for the suggestion tho

By whom? I don’t even have a license and still I’d say it’s a must have for longer trips

yes Vela Maps, typo

it works great and I use it whenever OSMAnd isn’t enough or just simply unsuitable (finding restaurants e.g.).

It’s up to you if you’d rather use GMaps directly or just pass on important information like that OFC

Vela Maps is the best way to get accurate information about traffic and opening hours while interacting with Google only as little as you have to

It’s like NewPipe but for GMaps

That’s on corporate sites just saving work or intentionally obstructing and restricting Firefox because Google basically a monopoly.

For me personally Firefox (and it’s engine Gecko) work fine for 99% of websites I visit.

It uses Google’s browser engine base called Chromium, which Chrome is based on (the used engine is called “Blink”). A lot of websites are made to just function well on Chromium and maybe Safari

For normal usage and actually using a messaging app for what it’s intended (contacting people in your life), it’s far too obscure and non-streamlined tbh. Signal is more than good enough for the thread model of chatting with friends and family, and ppl you got to know online

Still a proprietary black box you shouldn’t trust and chromium based so you reinforce the chromium monopoly

Tried it out, but since I was so used to the standard OsmAnd style it just felt wrong some way.

It really like how OsmAnd allows for so much customization e.g. in map styles

Not knowing you can buy used/refurbished betrays a deep level of real life illiteracy

What’s wrong with Briar?

Sounds more like a Freedombox problem for not supporting one of the best ways to run sevrer software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They joined that open washing company? ughhhh

I think there is also

Proceed with caution!

The following manufacturers require an online account and/or a waiting period before unlocking.

section, despite you not having to do either of those to unlock your phone to install e.g. GrapheneOS?

Organic Maps and thus by extension CoMaps are supposed to be minimalist and light on features. They are kinda the polar opposite to OSMAnd (at least regarding that)

Glad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy.

Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that

Well, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client.

But, I think both support making local backups of your chats.
I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop

Glad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue

I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing
