It's more a feud between the founder of Organics Maps and people from the FOSS community, with the apparent inclusion of proprietary code into Organic Maps, and issues regarding to the governance of the project. Here's an article from someone who will be better at explaining all this: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/ :)

maps[dot]me was great at the beginning, but they went hard on monetizing lots of stuff and have become unreliable/actively bad

there's a fork named Organic Maps, but the people who lead that project are unwilling to cooperate with the open source community, even though the project should be FOSS

so now there's a new fork called Co-Maps which tries to live by the principles of free open source software and that's what i'm using currently: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CoMaps

i spent my summer last year filling all the street names on a caribbean island i was going on holiday in december, so i could use Co-Maps offline during my trip (aka Maps.me and Organic Maps before enshitification)

osm is the best!

unless it's azuki, the sweet beans used in japan to fill Dorayaki, they are excellent with vanilla ice cream

i remade it for personal use ^^

collapsed inline media

here it is to copy paste in iOS messages:

🖕         👨 
   🐛 💤👔🐛 
               ⛽️  👢 
             ⚡️ 8=👊=D💦 
         🎸     🌂 
         👢       👢

the spaces will be fixed inside the app, i used a fixed sized font here so the layout is kept

im urbandictionarying stuff all the time, that's how i know it means "group masturbation"

it's called "my place" or "their place", and we make coffee for a cent on the dollar

i'll just wave/smile, and go one with my day, because i'll have music playing in my headphones anyway 👌

yeah i'm not good with clickbait, maybe part of it can be put into the first paragraph

 

Today I went to my local supermarket and was presented with the following brands of toothpaste:

  • Odol-med3 (Aquafresh): Haleon Group 🇬🇧
  • Sensodyne: Haleon Group 🇬🇧
  • Parodontax: Haleon Group 🇬🇧
  • Signal: Unilever 🇬🇧
  • elmex: Colgate-Palmolive 🇺🇸
  • Meridol: Colgate-Palmolive 🇺🇸
  • Colgate: Colgate-Palmolive 🇺🇸
  • Blend-a-med: Procter & Gamble 🇺🇸
  • Blend-a-dent: Procter & Gamble 🇺🇸
  • Crest: Procter & Gamble 🇺🇸
  • Lacalut: Dr. Theiss Naturwaren Gruppe 🇩🇪

You have a big illusion of choice, but in the end most known brands that can also afford advertising are big international groups. I ended up getting Lacalut, the one "made in germany", which cost double.

edit: apparently it's not a great choice for many reasons, so i'll be returning that product and try some of the other recommendations, thanks!
