Install Guix
Comaps, OSM And, and other apps use OpenStreet maps as their data source, sometimes as their only data source. So if the data isn’t in OpenStreet maps, it’s not gonna be in Comaps. Comaps is basically a frontend for OpenStreet map data.
Careful. I tried doing this once. The company didn’t like it and they ADDITIONALLY charged me a chargeback fee. So not only did I have to pay whatever bogus charge, I also had to pay a chargeback fee. :(
Maybe I could have taken them to small claims court but … eh … that seemed like too much work.
I love Comaps. I have it installed on my Android phone. I contribute to OpenStreet maps when I can.
But, I don’t think Comaps is a realistic replacement for Apple or Google maps.
One: OpenStreet maps is missing a toooon of locations, businesses and residential addresses. Two: having the enter the address in a non-standard way (for the US) City, Street, Building Number, makes finding things even harder. That’s gonna instantly turn away 99% of people.
I still begrudgingly have Google maps installed on my phone… :(
I also have HERE Maps installed on my phone. It’s way more usable than Comaps and it’s not Google. But, it’s not FOSS and still owned by a big corporation. But at least it’s not (entirely) owned by the US (Magic Earth is). For me, I think HERE maps is a decent step away from Google.
I’ll still keep contributing to OpenStreet maps, hoping one day I can switch to Comaps.
I’m kinda coming around to using Fedora. I use Arch, btw, but Fedora is pretty close to how I configure my Arch system anyway. Plus, Fedora has a little extra polish with the splash screens that I don’t bother with in my Arch setup.
Maaaaybe…
Totally unbiased comparison between alternatives
Does it suck: 4get: no (debunked by snopes)
😆
Is it safe to update yet? I just noticed 2.6.0 was released on the 19th and then a few hours later 2.6.1 was released…
A satirical website dubbed Malus (malice) has been making its rounds and fooling users after claiming it’s deploying AI tools to recreate open source projects from scratch with corporate-friendly licensing (my personal favorite is Emergency AGPL Removal in the footer links)
Hahaha. That’s funny. Oh, guys.
I wish there was a FOSS or more open option, but damn I’m glad I’m using Kagi.
Yes, I’ve tried SearXNG. No, I don’t think it’s a viable alternative. (yet?)
GNOME, Guix, LogSeq, Signal, Codeberg
I was looking for MeGusta Bar, actually. Thanks, OP! 🍻
Yeah, you gotta add “meme”. This isn’t surprising?
It’s like searching for the word “information” and then getting mad because none of the search results are about “information for how to change car oil”. You’re searching for a general term and expecting a specific result.
?.. I don’t get it… you’re getting more or less relevant results for the general phrase “me gusta”?
Just recently signed up for Qobuz. I’m planning on purchasing albums as I go along so at least I’m left with something the day I decide to quit.
This isn’t exclusive to Open Source projects. This happens all the time with proprietary apps as well: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Even things like TV shows can get killed after 1 season.
Neat! I’m currently using GNOME Calendar and Thunderbird, but not really in love with either.
OpenStreet maps is primarily a data source. I guess you could use the website: https://www.openstreetmap.org/
But they don’t have mobile apps.
