Great alternatives to Google Maps that use #OpenStreetMap data:
- Qwant Maps: website, has directions. Highlights the fact that data is from #OSM, providing links to view and edit the data.
https://www.qwant.com/maps
- F4map: website, 3D views of cities.
https://demo.f4map.com/
- MAPS.ME: mobile apps with a neat vector renderer. Minimalist. Works offline. More obviously profit-oriented.
- OsmAnd: mobile apps with lots of features. Offline too. (Too?) many customisations and options available.

@allie welcome back! What kinds of things are you interested in? Maybe check out who people you follow are following? There's also follow Friday lists that various people throw out that can be handy

new in-depth analysis of #GoogleApple #ContactTracing apps: "[The #Google part]... seems to call home every ~20 minutes and shares the handset IMEI, SIM serial, phone number, email address and WiFi MAC address and lots of still-to-be-decoded data with Google. (Presumably more detailed app telemetry.)" https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/contact_tracing_app_traffic.pdf

The governments and organizations that built their #COVID19 #ContactTracing apps on #Google/Apple Bluetooth tech are now waking up to the fact that Google requires sending them a constant stream of location data in order to use that API https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/20/technology/google-covid-tracker-app.html

What is the new one?
@chutten the cake is a lie
@write_as using Tor Browser 9.5.2 on Android, and after clicking through a few blogs listed on https://read.write.as/ I'm not seeing the badge or a transition/popup/anything to encourage going to a .onion ... Is this active? Maybe an issue with the Android Tor Browser?

Not only will the ".onion available" badge show up in the web app — all blogs hosted on the Write.as domain will automatically show it, too. That means any blog visitors can easily discover your onionized blog!

Why do the cookie popups start with "We value your privacy", clearly they don't because they would've just not included the crap.
@torproject no autoredirect to a .onion address for the blog? Was hoping to see a Tor browser 9.5 feature in action...

Google's buying FitBit...and slurping in all the data FitBit users provided. We asked FitBit users what they thought, and we got an EARFUL https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/your-objections-google-fitbit-merger
