  • There is a "network effect" competition problem with that view.

    Also, that isn't the only source of information. There are a lot traffic cameras, and speed cameras just need a comms link. Probably other stat sources than those.

    We want a functional market for SatNavs, and we don't really have it.

  • I fear we need to get governments to force competition to be allowed. Phones are a hell scape duopoly and Google are closing the nose. This isn't a thing to fight just with tech, we need to be fighting politically. Though all I do is a monthly payment to OpenRightsGroup for over a decade. Politicians, like most of the population, are completely unable to perceive the problem. If it was cars or TV or something else physical, they would get it.

  • My bank for work is super uncool. It requires the app to even auth web access on your desktop. The app refused to run on LineageOS despite the tricks I tried. It will run on GrapheneOS, for now. Why is it legal to block phone OS flavours??

    The other gotta is navigation with traffic info. OrganicMaps is great, the maps are lovely, but without traffic into, the routing just keeps failing me badly. I need an open satnav with traffic info. Traffic flow should be open access, but it's all wall gardened. Least in UK.

  • That was one of the things that forced me from de-googled LineageOS to GrapheneOS. A compromise without being compromised. I'd like to run a proper Linux phone, but the bad apps forced into my life isn't going anyway, and less and less with run on a freed Android phone. The problem is political not technical, too many of us nerds are fighting the wrong front. (Partly, because the political from is too much human interaction to face.)

  • As ex-Sony Mobile AOSP manager, you got any extra insight into problems coming? From the outside it looks like a storm is coming.

  • GB "News" is a blight on the media landscape. Calling itself "News" but says it is just "entertainment" so doesn't have to follow news standards. That needs to drop them in a world of trouble. They need to be made an example of so we don't get more of that.

  • Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App

    Jump

  • Waze is now also Google. Apple can and does extract/extort lots rent/ransom from Google. OSM doesn't have the pockets. They, like lots of FOSS, undermine the whole scheme.

  • After that, Apple would ban OSM apps from their store.

  • Snap. The problem is you never forget. It's PSD.

    "OK, OK, enough. I can't watch you ham fist this anymore. The reason it says file not found is a DLL it needs isn't found. There used to be this tool, DependencyWalker. Ah there still is. There you go, you are missing that DLL. A search will show us... Yep... That is what we need to install. Oh look it runs."

  • F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

  • No they work. It's not like LineageOS. Both Bank apps I now need, work on GrapheneOS but did not on LineageOS. It is my compromise without being compromised.

    Jump

  • And the politically sane should be pushing back hard. If you can legally have misinformation labelled "news" we have a massive problem.

  • It's very simple. You can not call yourself "news" and not come under news regulations.

  • Far-right AfD party fails to secure first German city mayor post in run-off

  • Yeah, I broadly agree. I think a lot of the issue is inequality that has been only getting worse since 2008.

  • The source? Well I've always suspected some of that is Russia. MAGA too, but they get a load Russian support too. I think it's online bot farms as much as just out right corruption/donations/lobbying. When Ukraine defeats Russia, I wonder what knockons it will have.
