There has actually been some progress on integrating GTFS data into OSM: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GTFS

I haven't yet seen much use of it in the wild though…

Wer weiß, vielleicht ist blau/schwarz ja besser als schwarz/blau 🥲

Statuses updated and a keyboard | F-Droid | TWIF in c/fdroid@lemmy.ml

If an app doesn't support reproducible builds, the version you can download from F-Droid was built and signed by F-Droid, not by the dev

[…], from that point the app will be built by f-droid with their own digital signature.

This part of your comment is not quite true. One of the advantages of reproducible builds is that the app can be signed by the developer but fdroid can still verify that it has been built from the correct source code. You can check out the documentation here: https://f-droid.org/docs/Reproducible_Builds/

Cool but seems very unrelated?

I dislike Google as much as the next guy, but this seems to be an issue with the manufacturer (onn), not Google

Wouldn't that hurt Russia as much as any other country?

Ladybird browser update (August 2024) (Makan: What does everyone think of this browser?) in c/technology@lemmy.ml

The project received some substantial funding recently, so I think I can see where this fear is coming from. However, I also think that a lot of what you say is not true.

The project wasn't started "because chromium and Firefox have bad reputation" and the website doesn't even mention either of them or privacy at all. It was the browser of serenityOS, a from-scratch OS created many years ago by Andreas Kling to help himself overcome drug addiction. The browser part simply got so much traction that he recently decided top split the projects.

The project uses the BSD 2-Clause license which is a very common, OSI approved open source license, so I'm not sure what concerns you have in this regard.

Furthermore, I don't see where you got the "pay for privacy" claim. While they do not state whether the browser will require a license, I would be very surprised if it did, given the projects history. Lastly, a lot of open source projects post monthly updates online and Andreas has done so four many years now. Calling it "propaganda" seems unnecessary and inflammatory.

Please do some research before making big claims like this.

Have a good day, friend!
