The only thing which F-Droid reports is that it uses jawg.io for visualising the map tiles and that is considered non-free is because it is… commercial?

This is the quote from the Streetcomplete github:

Since mid 2020, JawgMaps provides their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free, i.e. the background map displayed in the app.

Personally I don’t care that much about FOSS/non-FOSS but IMO a reason like that is least of my concerns when looking at open source. If they’re providing a free (as in money) service to an open source app then that’s perfectly fine.

Please tell me the Chainsword is a weapon in some game?

Don’t kid yourselves, regardless of all your ideals open source only works because it’s free from a monetary perspective.

Companies work on patches to Linux or other software because it primarily benefits themselves, and they only use Linux because it’s free. Companies create hardware on Linux because it’s free. They can manufacturer cheap devices and people will buy them because they were low cost primarily because of the use of FOSS software.

Nearly all of FOSS is funded by corporations whether you like it or not, for the reasons you want to hear or not. The only thing that drives people is money.

You created a username that insults someone else and then cried because it was your own fault? Did you stop to think that you were the unhealthy environment?

I mean, someone like Hatsune Miku already existed before. It’s just (slightly) more mainstream now. The only issue with “virtual influencers” is how straightforward the owners are in admitting that their product is AI.

Only because there’s always someone like you in the comments of every Windows post.

Why would you want less if you are buying a top of the line phone? Because people sure as hell aren’t buying a flagship just for phone calls and texts. Camera has pretty much become the gold standard for comparing phones these days.

I’m surprised 27 was the original age, it feels high

Does look like cricket scores tbh

UP needs to be nuked, fuck that Yogi

I mean, they’re not bad starting points really to decide which phone to buy.

What? People are already learning what Nearby Share is. Why change the fucking branding?

Can confirm, hate it when a good kathi roll gets over

Redirect AMP to HTML if you hate amp like me

Degoogle is the wrong word for lineage because it hasn’t been “engoogled” in the first place, it doesn’t ship with Google services at all. If you simply install the base ROM you don’t have Google.

The question is if you want to replace Google with mock Google services so certain apps relying on GMS still work, or if you want to replace it completely with FOSS alternatives.

Wtf is Google Chats

If you actually want that cat it’s Uni

I remember TomTom was starting to pick up in my country with their dedicated GPS units for cars and then the iPhone came and destroyed them all

So is there a reason you bitching that a privacy invasive company is being by a less privacy invasive one so the product can be less privacy invasive? I can’t understand this weird “Oh I’m so smart” gotcha.

I mean you can do that and use Firefox, it’s not going to hurt.
