I suppose he is referring to banking apps (and all security-critical apps) relying on Google and Apple for attestation of device integrity (i.e. that nobody, including you yourself, tampered with the device operating system).

This almost surely could be solved with open-source, public-owned code, although I’d have to research that to be sure.

Well what is the best place to find and buy those? Just the usual “refurbished tech” stores and websites?

Is the Fairphone 6 really significantly more expensive still?

It’s not irony when there’s no current alternative

Kommt drauf an… Sowohl die Wärmepumpen-Geschichte als auch der Atomausstieg waren ja CDU-Regierungs Projekte.

Das geht bei denen heutzutage ganz schnell, dass man eigene unpopuläre Projekte politischen Gegnern in die Schuhe schiebt und dann selbst rückabwickelt.

Wenn man es schafft, so lange den Microsoft-Vertretern zu trotzen

Not even sanctions. This is already a must from an independence perspective

Yeah you may need to install another TTS engine, don’t know the Graphene TTS situation exactly.

I like SherpaTTS for example.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Freedom to get fucked over by billion dollar corporate behemoths

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.

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
