Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.
For fuckin years the foss community has told us to stop using these products. It only took them all turning into literally fascist for people to finally stop giving them power
It only took them turning facist? We‘re not even remotely close to not giving them power in the corporate world. :/
FOSS is so much better!
To the point of replacing Visa/Mastercard: it would be great if the EU could continue in line of SEPA and create an EU payment processor. Now, I want to be very clear, it should be owned by the member states' governments, and profit (if any) should go into the EU budget. No neoliberal bullshit of "oh we're going to put out a contract/give out loans for anyone to set up a payment processor and the market will decide". It should be a state owned payment processor, to finally stop the likes of Mastercard, Visa, etc. from leeching off every single consumer transaction in the economy.
we need an AOSP fork like Forgejo is to Github. Accept good changes, maybe share patches, but keep a fork that ROM devs can build upon.
How does one realistically move away from Google maps?

Why use organic maps instead of openstreetmaps?
Organic maps is much better for search and has a simpler interface (assuming you mean osmand). Organic maps is just an app based on openstreetmap data.
I disagree that organic maps has a better search interface. In Osmand you have a very powerful POI search. You can automatically filter for restaurants, that are open and serve vegan Indian food, and so on. Organic maps has just a text search and categories.
Actually you might be right, I was rather thinking of openstreetmap.org itself. I don't use osmand too much since lot of good features are not free.
I got it from f-droid, and AFAIK that version feature complete and free, at least I don't miss anything.
I started using Osmand, before Organic Maps existed, and got used to all its features, when I tested out Organic Maps, it felt very feature-lite and I was missing out a lot (POI search, routing customizations, etc.), I assumed it is just very early in development, but it seems now they are targeting a different audience than I am.
There are a couple of things I am missing in Osmand, coming back from Organic Maps, its nice looking and fast map renderer, and it seems like the text search might work a bit better. Otherwise, the more powerful POI search, and the better internal routing customization are what brought me back to Osmand. Osmand even has brouter support.
True. Organic maps is actually thought for a broader audience with daily use so they keep it simple. I use mostly organic maps and when I need something specific I switch to osmand but it always takes me time to figure out how to set up what I need.
Organic Maps is a client that uses openstreetmap.
Also, make an account on OpenStreetMap (OSM), which is what Organic Maps uses for data. OSM is the Wikipedia of maps. You can use Organic Maps or any other OSM editor to add anything that's missing and correct anything that's wrong or out of date, then see your changes in the next map update.
That's the way. Everybody takes care of the place they live in and it's the best mapping project ever.
And if you use StreetComplete, you can fill out missing info about places that you visit
