haha I'm with you here, though tbh this is something I would have cared about some years ago but these days with tech fatigue I don't even mind the Stephen Hawking guidance (I usually have it off anyways).

Thanks for sharing this! I just started using OsmAnd for biking and missed this nice detail.

Google Maps would take me through some awful stroads pretty regularly, so I'll be glad for a safer route even if it takes longer.

Oh I'm aware of the "Osm" meaning.

I still think it's a bad name 😅 how does someone unfamiliar with OSM pronounce it? Why is there a tilde?!

Hey thanks for sharing this! I'll try Bimba. I'm planning on switching to GrapheneOS soon so the less stuff reliant on G services the better, as much as I like the Transit app.

Edit seems like it's a bit limited on its coverage, with little to speak of in the US :(

Was hoping to get Chicagoland metro area transit.

I'm not sure this is possible without crowd sourced data

The transit app is for public transit. Trains buses etc. I probably should have specified sorry!

But yeah there really isn't a way around reviews I think I'm going to have to come to peace with that.

By your logic the *arr suite isn't self hosted either since they rely on metadata cache servers.

In fact Jellyfin relies on external services for their metadata too!

What's your go-to OSS navigation app? I've been trying the three in the title. CoMaps is a fork of Organic but Osm seems to be its own thing. Honestly haven't seen a reason yet to prefer one over another besides Osm's pretty bad name.

For public transit (trains buses etc) I use Transit, it's not OSS but the company aligns strongly with me and I like that their employees get four-day workweeks: https://transitapp.com/vision However if there's a OSS alternative I'm not aware of I'm always willing to try it.

For finding businesses I would not expect much.. there seems to be no good answer that isn't Yelp or Google Maps, and of course that kinda goes by the nature of crowd sourced reviews and information. I have GMaps WV but it's kind clunky and I just ended up falling back to Maps unfortunately.

EDIT: Forgot to mention biking. I live in a not-so-bike friendly suburb and have actually found that Google gives me WORSE bike routes than OsmAnd, for what it's worth. The OSM route tends to be more roundabout but safer. My guess is you get more urbanist minded people contributing to these, so that's nice to see.

Bit weird to pin it on an age generation

Hate to say it but it honestly doesn't sound crazy hard to just block any instance that pops up. Yes it's whack a mole but if it's an automated script, it can just crawl through a backdoor instance and ban any domain it sees.

Linux phones are more important now than ever. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Like you, I value my relationships and by extension my mental health more than which messaging app I use.

I hate Meta with a passion and them acquiring Whatsapp is probably the most disappointing acquisition of all time to me, but I'm going to continue using it because my wife, family in Latin America, and world friends all use it. And being lonely and out of touch isn't worth the satisfaction of knowing my data isn't being scraped to me. Others in these threads always seems to disagree here, and they're free to do that but it's not a lifestyle I'm interested in.

I'm making changes where I can; I self host a server for my media, photos, files. I'm going to install Graphene on my phone soon. I'm interested in picking up a cheaper older phone to try a Linux mobile OS on. I have my phone auto connect to my pihole to block trackers when I'm out of the house, etc. But I know as soon as it's something I have to inconvenience others with, it's not going to work.

Pick your battles.

I'm on Mint.

T-Mobile acquired them, per the usual bullshit, but I get 15GB a month with unlimited talk and text for "$20" a month. The catch is that you pay yearly in bulk for that price. Had it a year and change. Been solid.
