Yes, you can ditch #GoogleMaps now..

https://organicmaps.app

#OrganicMaps is here. Use it while offline and feel good about a #privacy-respecting app that doesn't suck you dry of your personal information. Based on #OpenStreetMap this app is gonna blow #Google #Maps out of the water (hopefully ;)

Friendly reminder:

People, stop using #Meta, #Google, and other #BigTech Apps that make YOU the product!

Use #Threema or #Signal instead.

#DeleteWhatsApp

#DeleteThreads

#DeleteFacebook

#DeleteInstagram

#DeleteTwitter

#DeleteTikTok

Apart from vacation time in Europe and N-America, this might be a good thing.

In the weeks before, my account had often been hardly usable on week-ends.

I was thinking of that, but my last take was that it was engineered by right-wing #DarkMoney from the #US.

My personal name hunch: From #Russia, With Love.

"How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)"

In his blog, he shows from his own experience how #Google and #Micosoft first embraced new FOSS protocols (like #ActivityPub), then extended it, finally deserted it leaving it languishing in a niche.

Also: #META's intentions in a leaked e-mail.
