Organic Maps (available on F-Droid and the Play store) is the closest FOSS alternative to Google maps i have been able to find. Routes are not perfect (they work but could be better) and time estimations are best-guess as it is completely offline minus map downloads, but its a great alternative and also has killer hiking trail data that beats Google’s by a country mile. The offline bit also means that it works without a data connection, and for the privacy-conscious it’s a major boon.
Hey ma, they’re putting out the ‘hottest on record’ headline again! What’re we up to now, 11 years in a row?
Thats not gaslighting, thats being dodgey and possibly signs of past traumas being projected onto you.
Not gonna lie, i forgot GoG existed and thought this was for Steam. Good to see GoG still kickin’! Its one of the few good alternative storefronts to the big one. I should go buy a game from there.
If it’s not source-available, then it’s somewhere between source-available and OSS - that license is very aggressively in favor of futo and against the general public.
Just to clarify the scale:
Best: FLOSS (GPL, etc)
Better: FOSS (Apache, etc)
Good: OSS (MIT, etc.)
<–Futo is here
Bad: Source-Available <–or here
Worst: Closed-Source/Proprietary
OP asked for FOSS, and if this keyboard had met OPs other criteria, it would have failed the FOSS check (it’s a source-available license). It’s also a roll-your-own license and a very very short one at that. It’s missing a lot of key protections for both the company and the consumer.
I’m pretty steadfast on using GPL software wherever i can, especially for something as mission-critical as a keyboard. Non-gpl projects have a tendency to get bought up and relicensed or corrupted in some other way over time (sometimes a very long time, but time nevertheless). I’ll make exceptions for things that are less critical, like games, but core system must be GPL or offer equivalent protections for the end user.
Source-available is still good for auditability though, making it more secure in the short-term.
