None. And F-Droid provides guarantees of trustworthiness that go above what getting it directly from the source can do.


Im struggling with the lack of glide typing in 0.4.0+


Yes, the ETAs inherently cant be as accurate as Google because it is an offline map. Google Maps uses your location in addition to traffic data it collects to adjust time.

This is less of Organic Maps’ fault and more of a data science problem.

Maybe with a better algo, it could calculate the time better, but without the realtime data itll be tough.

Additionally, I don’t think the OpenStreetMaps database collects speed limit data. This is one area that could actively be improved. Edit: I am wrong


For daily use, if you want something that uses the same data as OSM but has a Google Maps like experience, use Organic Maps instead. Its really good and very modern. Its also completely offline so it works without an internet connection. Slight warning though, it uses a cache of open streetmaps and not realtime data - this gets updated once a month.


I just realized, you’re an ML user. Aren’t you supposed to be hyper-communist? Stallman was probably one of the most communist in terms of software development.

You are a walking contradiction.


If it’s not source-available, then it’s somewhere between source-available and OSS - that license is very aggressively in favor of futo and against the general public.

Just to clarify the scale:

Best: FLOSS (GPL, etc)
Better: FOSS (Apache, etc)
Good: OSS (MIT, etc.)
<–Futo is here
Bad: Source-Available <–or here
Worst: Closed-Source/Proprietary


Yawn, who let the corporate shills on here?


OP asked for FOSS, and if this keyboard had met OPs other criteria, it would have failed the FOSS check (it’s a source-available license). It’s also a roll-your-own license and a very very short one at that. It’s missing a lot of key protections for both the company and the consumer.

I’m pretty steadfast on using GPL software wherever i can, especially for something as mission-critical as a keyboard. Non-gpl projects have a tendency to get bought up and relicensed or corrupted in some other way over time (sometimes a very long time, but time nevertheless). I’ll make exceptions for things that are less critical, like games, but core system must be GPL or offer equivalent protections for the end user.

Source-available is still good for auditability though, making it more secure in the short-term.



The license for this keyboard is suspect. It feels like it wants to be GPL but isn’t quite there.




Regardless of if their gpus are weaker, they are absolutely causing the focus on gaming laptops to wane, and wane hard. Why build a high end $2000 laptop that sells 10,000 units when you could make a $600-1000 handheld that sells 250,000 to 3,000,000 units?


And y’all say that linux users don’t value their time… smh



I keep hoping that mobile linux will get better and pinephone will start popping off but the software experience so far has been absolutely miserable and progress has been incredibly slow on gnome and kde mobile experiences, modem drivers (missed calls and sms), and so on.

There is progress, so it’ll get there eventually but how long that is is hard to say.

And i know it requires volunteers in their free time. I’d like to contribute to the code but i’m far too inexperienced to do so and im too broke to fund anything. They expect far more detail in bug reports than im able to provide, so its all a wash.


Yes, shares. Employee Stock Ownership Plans are a thing, they’re private shares in the company.


Doesn’t his ex wife own half of his shares now though?


I really hope we get dumb electric cars. I don’t think we need more spy cameras on wheels going everywhere.


Whats sad is that people keep wanting more client-side anticheat to fix this, when the real answer is server-side anticheat and changing the engine to stop being so leaky with that much information.


If you arent particular about it being SIP specifically, Signal is fantastic (though not available on F-Droid because the Signal devs are paranoid about not signing their own code - you can get a direct APK from their site).


Pixel 6 Pro+GrapheneOS is my choice. Finding apps that dont need google play services is tough, but doable. Its insane how much of the android app ecosystem relies on google play services, especially for push notifications.


Considering the breaches lastpass had in just the last year, using their cloud service is absolutely a concerning choice. how they got breached is especially egregious.


The new owners OR f-droid, depending on whether they want to start adding badware or close-sourcing it.


It’s not even that, it’s a data-harvesting engine disguised as a gamidied tool.



This is why I try to use libre open source software whenever I can (preferably GPL license, but MIT is fine as long as it has reproducible builds)



Except its not. Valve has gone out of their way to make sure other peoples’ games and launchers work, even if they’re not selling directly through Steam. Look at the Proton patch notes if you’re not just being a conspiratorial asshole and actually care about the facts.
