Every time you open Google Maps, it logs where you are, what you searched, and where you went next.

We interviewed the co-founder of Organic Maps, an open source app that collects none of that. New Techlore Talks out now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XCzVQKLBkhM

Good.
But CoMaps is better (governance transparency)

@niavy Better? These guys tried to (unsuccessfully) get full control over Organic Maps project, and started spreading lies and misinformation about it after failure. They are illegally using unauthorized source code in their project (without authors' consent), they have stolen unpublished Organic Maps web site redesign, and seized one of the OM's Telegram channels. And now they do aggressive advertising campaign on Organic Maps social media.

@[email protected] @[email protected] would have been interesting to ask if they ever plan to make the hidden parts accessible too 😅 https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/organic-maps/
