Reviews in OpenStreetMap, so that google maps can have a real competitor.
Its not FOSS, but I use to use foursquare for years because of how good it was at finding good restaurants / things to do in a new city. Now that its shut down, there’s no real alternative that comes close.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The Gemini Protocol in 2026: growing, but still not setting the Internet aflame
13·12 days agoBrowsers are bigger than operating systems now. One of the points of gemini is to use a very restricted language and abilities, so that developers can create their own gemini browsers easily.
As it stands now, google exerts enormous control on the web because of how complicated it is to make a browser. Currently mozilla is google’s only competitor in browser engines.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The Gemini Protocol in 2026: growing, but still not setting the Internet aflame
5·12 days agoWhile gemini is a great project, I personally think a better route would be to create a local or server service that converts and saves existing webpages to markdown, and local apps acting as markdown browsers utilizing it.
With that people could write simple browsers, as well as reduce spying and have static content viewable on all form factors.
Everything that’s not static content (like the fediverse) already can have dedicated apps.

- Obama admitted to supporting and arming Neo-Nazis and other ultra-nationalist groups like the Azov battalion in Ukraine to overthrow it’s former pro-Russia govt, 2. Ukraine now has a pro-US, nazi-glorifying government with ultranationalism, anti-semitism, neo-nazi pogroms, and attacks on LGBT groups.
- Leaked transcripts show Victoria Nuland, a US diplomat in Ukraine, picking Yanukoviche’s replacement in the coup.
- A leaked phone call of the Estonian foreign minister states that the famous Maidan sniper attack was actually ordered by the US-funded opposition. This means that Yanukovich’s government was not behind the sniper attack, but somebody in the US coalition.

6·18 days agoSide point but it’s kinda crazy how the modern usage of paper tiger was coined by Mao an interview with one of the US’s greatest historians, and most US citizens have no idea who she is or have read anything by her. (Anna Louise Strong)

That is impressive for under 2 years. Lets hope they can keep that pace up, or accelerate it.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•What is the best alternative to google maps, not for navigation, but for business discoverability and reviews?
43·1 month agoI believe there are a few proposals of integrations of different open source review systems into OSM, but they haven’t been finalized yet.
Totally agree this is the number one thing missing from open source maps rn, and it should be top priority years ago.
