  • Meet the CoMaps Crew!

  • If you use Android, it should normally just work with the TTS engine set in android settings.

    Unless you don't have one or your engine does not offer either the map language or english.

    I am currently working on enabling other TTS languages and notifying the user more noticeably about TTS problems.

  • Vimeo to be acquired by Bending Spoons for $1.38 billion

    Jump

  • Bending spoons is one of the European companies that most resembles the worst parts of american capitalism. No reason to cheer them on, just like Nestle, or Shell, etc.

  • Open-source social media is growing

    Jump

  • Thanks for contributing to open map data!

    Small FYI: It may take some days until your contributions are visible in OSM. And then a few more weeks until the next Comaps release after that for them to be visible in Comaps - since Comaps only periodically pulls data from OSM to make optimized custom maps.

  • All requests from the app will go to our own traffic server (Traff Server), where data from several different sources will be compiled, mainly official government sources.

  • OSM discourages including any temporary road closures afaik, they are very particular about that. So it would not be very useful to rely on the little data that exists about it, since it may also not be up to date in many cases.

    Jump

  • That's not an issue with CoMaps, but with OpenStreetMaps, the open map data source used by Comaps.

    You can help fill in the missing info in your area yourself, if you want.

  • Open-source social media is growing

    Jump

  • Traffic info is in the works and should be ready soon! Not sure if that includes closed roads though

  • Qwant and Ecosia debut Staan, a European search index that aims to take on Big Tech

    Jump

  • I don't think anyone really cares about things like that in 2025

  • How Europe Can Build Its Own Tech Giants

    Jump

  • We don't even need a huge amount of open source software. Just the important protocols.

    Similar to how it was done in the early days of the internet:

    Some committee (ideally made up partly of researchers, open-source institutions and private companies) agrees on an open standard, and then they all together work towards improving it, and they all use it in a way that is interoperable.

  • Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA

    Jump

  • Freedom to get fucked over by billion dollar corporate behemoths

  • Germany Denies Reports of Additional F-35 Purchase

    Jump

  • They're intended exclusively for the US nukes we got. Afaik european aircrafts which could work with them are in development, but won't be ready soon.

  • A new tech race is on. Can Europe learn from the ones it lost?

    Jump

  • Yes, good. If it does not pay the creators of the content it should be banned. Luckily the french are not as cowardly as others who just do whatever big tech companies want

  • Organic Maps fork CoMaps launches on major app stores for iOS and Android

    Jump

  • The lack of any reasonable response to these allegations is the actual problem

  • A new tech race is on. Can Europe learn from the ones it lost?

    Jump

  • Terrible take. Google is free to use news sites in summariew if it pays them for it - as they provide the content and information.

  • Know before you buy: starting today, EU’s new labels shake up the smartphone market

    Jump

  • It's gonna do shit for me

  • Fairphone 6 to be announced June 25, 2025

    Jump

  • To be fair (no pun intended), Fairphone also sells Fairbuds, which have a replacable battery (and replacable everything else)

  • Dutch parliament highly critical of Microsoft's ICC blockade

    Jump

  • To be fair, in this case Microsoft is not to blame. They were forced by their government.

    Which means we should switch to European companies not out of revenge at Microsoft, but out of the necessity to have digital sovereignty.

  • What is Mistral AI? Everything to know about the OpenAI competitor

    Jump

  • Agreed, I also use their code suggestion model instead of Github Copilot since a while and it works nicely

  • Do I have to expect a Copyright Strike?

    Jump

  • This is the (mostly) correct answer.

    An additional aspect, you may have DSLite, so you share your IPv4 with other people. So it was them that downloaded the movie and series, and your ISP knows that.

    Then again, the horror stories about Germany are true (depending on which exactly I suppose), but yes you'll only get a lawyer letter in the mail if you download very popular torrents of popular movies that just got released.

    And even that just for the production companies that care to employ the "lawyers" who do this kind of stuff (WarnerBros is one of them)
