Internet was fine in the early 2000s before the rise of social media platforms resulted in surveillance advertisement complex.

It was a different place, but worked ok.

It is time to fork Firefox. Mozilla has bern hijacked by people who don’t care about its vision.

101 million is too small for such an epic error.

Mozilla has been doing too many shady things recently.

probably just price. OpenAI does not have the edge over competition it once had.

This is not suprising. Anthropic models are clearly better than OpenAI ones. OpenAI no longer has a secret sauce that everyone wants to pay billions for.

Compared to Telegram’s 1-billion user base, it’s still a roundoff error.

Nobody they know is on those platforms.

Nobody is on Signal either.

Signal was always better

I love the premise of Signal, but there are too many red flags. Some of my issues are:

• Hostility against 3rd party clients
• US-based legal entity
• Too much tied with Google libs on android
• No official Fdroid support
• Open source claims are undermined by code blackouts from time to time.

openstreetmap.org is a mappers website, not a map users website. It works great for mappers, but is horrible for people who want to use the map to find their way around.

I think the openstreetmap ecosystem really needs a better website for map users.

I see no benefit to using Waze. Openstreepmap works better.

comparing jobs and salaries.

First, google’s lawyers will not like that.

Second, in many places google maps data is not as good as Openstreetmap.

I use both OrganicMaps and OsmAnd. I find that OsmAnd is better for poweruser functions (like editing the map or recording a track), but OrganicMaps is a very simple navigation app that just works well.

It shows me where the speed cameras are :)

You can add the POIs and fill the gaps!

I disagree. It’s a step in the right direction, even if there is still a long distance to go.

My dad uses it. He’s as non-tech as non-tech gets. But I had to install it for him.

does glassdoor have any value now that blind and levels.fyi exist?

Openstreetmap is better than Google where I live (Anatolian side of İstanbul).
