  I'll support it if they promise not to abuse this new platform for tracking and mining its user data.

    tbh I would only trust it if the software worked so that they wouldn't be able to abuse it for tracking (i.e not centralized). Although i am not sure how you would implement that in a geolocation tool.

      implement zero-logging. but that's not profitable.

  What will be this projects relation to open street map?
  • _emacsomancer_ 4y ago
    Yeah, I think I will stick to OpenStreetMaps. Otherwise what am I closing l choosing between? Google or Microsoft+Facebook+Amazon. Talk about out of the pot and into the ~~fire~~ blazing inferno.

  Lesser of two evils but I haven’t used google maps in years. Apple maps has done everything I need and is far better from a privacy perspective

  "Join Linux" -> "And the Linux Foundation" ftfy, gizmodo. "linux" is not an entity which would make sense in this title imho.
