AI is "not open in any sense," the battle over encryption is far from won, and Signal's principled (and uncompromising) approach may complicate

    Molly is wonderful but I use signal-foss because it shares openstreetmap location by default 🤩

          Have you tried out Molly? If yes, did you use the normal version or the FOSS build? Btw the Version available on Accrescent is also FOSS

            Have you tried out Molly?

            Nah, I get hypomania from buproprin. I think ecstacy would put me straight into serotonin syndrome.

            I have used it (molly-foss)but haven’t in a while, just waiting for it to enable OSM location sharing to switch back to it. Didn’t know about accrescent. What’s the deal about it compared to droidify or f-droid?

              It’s more secure than F-Droid. It’s still in a pretty early stage of development though and currently only offers a handful of apps.

              • App signing key pinning: first-time app installs are verified so you don’t have to TOFU.
              • Signed repository metadata: repository contents are protected against malicious tampering.
              • Automatic, unattended, unprivileged updates (Android 12+): updates are handled seamlessly without relying on privileged OS integration.
              • First-class support for split APKs: downloaded APKs are optimized for your device to save bandwidth.
              • No remote APK signing: developers are in full control of their app signing keys.

      I have to be misunderstanding what you’re saying because it sounds like you’re happy that app shares your location by default? Or do you mean it uses that format by default when you decide to share a location?

        I meant that it uses the OSM “format” when I decide to share it voluntarily. That totally makes sense for me. I don’t want to be sharing no Google links.
