Can confirm that this happens on mobile (installed via F-Droid on GrapheneOS). It will seemingly change countries or profiles mid day or overnight without a restart.

I have not witnessed this on Linux via flatpak but will keep an eye out…

Can confirm that this works - even better if they said no and then later ask you to send something “hey can you send so and so’s contact card” or. “Photos form the event”

And then you say “Yes, on Signal”

They will download right there

Can you share how you did this? Did you have to seat beacondb as your location services in iode or in the app itself?

My experience is that Zood cnnot find me unless I’m using default (google) location services, and I haven’t been able to find a workaround for my set up

I had great success with Zood on stock android but no luck on Graphene using non - google location services. I’ve reached out to the Dev for integration with OSM and/or beacondb support with no response.

If anyone has Zood running on Graphene without switching to google location services let me know I’d love to use it

Osmand+ is definitely the right answer for customizability and power; however CoMaps has made the GUI decisions for you in a nice way and is ready to go out of the box.

Osmand+ added secure location sharing to their roadmap for 2026 which is something my family really misses - so I will he using and supporting when that drops.

Laslty, open street maps have one fatal choke point - search is pretty terrible. Even inputting a correctly formatted address often yields no results or too many confusing results. Searching by place name is hit or miss, mostly miss. The only workaround is to verify address and get lat long coordinates for that address- I typically do this from a third party website.

All Geckos can sync if Mozilla Sync is enabled with an account. So you can sync say LibreWokf or WarwrFox on desktop to any mobile version, such as IronFoz. They do not have to “match”.

After flitting around to different ESS readers ive settled on NewsBlur. I really really like it - the free version is fully functional, but the paid has awesome quality of life features.

Available in browser and from F-Droid

I appreciate their candor and frankness on masto but yes agree their tend to be over reactions. I’m reading this statement as “we don’t condone this use case. We don’t collaborate with governments”

But yes refining their PR would help - especially in the not just going after “rivals” which are really just neighbors in this very niche space

Nominated!
