@lemmy.mlGoogle maps is more than just a map. You can submit pictures of a restaurant to gmaps. Google knows that the business still exists and other people can validate the data. On osmand you don't even see how the restaurant looks like.
This kind of app https://github.com/Discostu36/OSM-Photos is needed for osm to succeed and become mainstream.
Imagine connecting activitypub to osm POIs. People/users would interact with the map.
Matrix doesn't store your ongoing conversation in plaintext. It's encrypted by default.
Chrome had jxl support but google dropped it. https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/chrome-banishes-jpeg-xl-photo-format-that-could-save-phone-space/ it'll take long until google bringa back jxl, if ever. As long as google doesn't support jxl, jxl is going to have a difficult future
Maybe it needs a rebranding. If people have heard of linux, they think it's for devs, IT nerds, too complicated, etc. Most of the people just have never heard of linux because they don't look out for it. Most people don't know what FOSS is, etc. People just don't know that their OS is spying on them. Chromeos is linux, it's in every store. Linux made it. Gnu didn't.
Cool! That makes me happy :) I dono to osmand, I love the app. I also created my own style. Love it :)
Magic earth has a more traditional navigation system approach, that's why I like it more.
You can just install an addon for that but it'd be great if that would come with ff, I agree.
A normal person should not have to deal with different distros. The difference in many distros is so small, people don't even notice. People care about the desktop environment. I started with ubuntu and if ubuntu wouldn't have ten thousand different ways of installing apps, and oftentimes you have to use the method the dev chose, I wouldn't have distro hopped until I got to fedora. Fedora is amazing but a normal end user who browses the web won't notice a big difference between the systems.
To run linux on a banana, you have to adapt it. To run macos on a banana, you have to crack it and fiddle around and get a psychiatrist and work on it full time. Linux makes it easier for you. Apple forbids you to install it on a banana. Fuck apple.
