How many non tech people would use this, especially if not in play store. 95% of people don’t know fdroid exists

What impetus would most people have to mentally even start considering replacing Google Maps?

Much like with making people switch to Firefox as a browser, the first step to a tech user is understanding that to most non-tech users, the concept of thinking about a browser choice makes no sense, as their goal is to open a web page, and the specifics between now and the web page being opened are irrelevant. It’s equivalent to making non-DIY people care about the specifics of the brand of the hammer at home, it’s not like they couldn’t, but the very idea of doing that would usually leave them looking at you bewildered, as it feels arcane to invest brain time into a tool this simplistic and invisible.

@Carighan But if one hammer uploads your browsing history to a server for commercial exploitation, then the choice matters. They will reach for a different hammer if they know.

Touch grass mate. No one outside Lemmy would even remotely care about that

Why are you even here then?

To piss in your cereal

@lazyViking Cool, cool. Nobody likes that though. People who piss in other people's cereals should be removed from the community...
