technically true but the original Streisand effect was about an image that had been downloaded six times before the lawsuit; Organic Maps is definitely a lot less obscure than that

Do you really not see that this is literally just “we are the good guys so it is ok if we do it”?
“Misinformation” is whatever those in power decide to be such, whether it can be found on Signal or X or wherever, and whether the ones deciding it are in power in the UK, the US, India, Germany, Venezuela, or Russia.
the back button works fine for me here
then you’re visiting websites that are badly coded
I use Ghost Commander as a file manager on Android.
To my knowledge, FreeDOS has been a fairly complete implementation of DOS for a very long time, so this is probably not useful to them.
Nearly all open source map apps (definitely OsmAnd and Organic Maps) use openstreetmap.org as a data source which is literally a wiki, ie. anyone can edit it. If there is a lot missing in your area on OSM, then please add those things yourself. It is exactly as good as volunteers made it.
Government just days from taking over the country, warns /u/schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de
From your article:
Despite this, KOSA enjoys bipartisan support, including a July endorsement from President Joe Biden.
The worst laws in the US are usually supported by both parties.
I have no idea how government regulation of the Internet has become so normalized.
The funny thing is that when Chrome was first released, I was pretty excited that open source web engines were becoming more widely adopted.
Whatever one thinks of the current dominance of Chrome, I vastly prefer it to the time when Internet Explorer 6 had >90% market share. Open standards and FOSS technologies really are a winning cause even if the end products aren’t always FOSS.
This is today’s reality on the Internet. We used to think it would free us from capitalist control of public discourse. Hahahaha no, anyone saying anything contentious without good anonymity can be fired from their job or face other consequences.

Look up notepadqq, these guys are doing a Qt port. But you can also use Kate or VSCodium, these are pretty similar if not better.
All of this is only relevant if you use the web client. I don’t. I have email accounts both on gmail and on other providers and normally access all of them with Thunderbird and K-9 Mail.
I frequently use DDG for an initial search. When it doesn’t give me good results, I frequently find better ones on Google.
and then federate with Mastodon?
Yes, I guess so. I have no interest in becoming any kind of celebrity. That sounds stressful and can make you a target for harassment.
I prefer it when I can post my thoughts anonymously without anyone knowing or caring who I am. If a thought is good, it doesn’t matter whose thought it is.
The answer to “can X be sued for Y?” is always yes, you can sue anyone for anything, this doesn’t say anything about whether you’ll succeed.
