Since when? npub1jrjgkhrgzsn2vry543nfrc8dtf8n8w2f4kwwedvsc8ca28tfyvvq9kchx5 Organic Maps @nprofile…4dr5 this is 1) bad default setting issue that requires users to learn about setting and find/change the setting; 2) bad UX for the unclear message about the filtered out app. Writing something like “Press here to open Organic Maps, because it was filtered out from search by default by someone’s decision” would help users a lot. npub1jrjgkhrgzsn2vry543nfrc8dtf8n8w2f4kwwedvsc8ca28tfyvvq9kchx5 Organic Maps @nprofile…asup @nprofile…a798 Binary data is free; it contains data from many sources with different licenses that require a proper attribution (OSM, Wikipedia, etc.). It is not something that OM invented. Calling it non-free is a plain lie to F-Droid users. Please check it yourself: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/DATA_LICENSE.txt npub1jrjgkhrgzsn2vry543nfrc8dtf8n8w2f4kwwedvsc8ca28tfyvvq9kchx5 Organic Maps @nprofile…a798 it works for you, because you have changed that setting. BTW, F-Droid deliberately misinforms users by labeling Organic Maps as such: 1. Our binary files are free assets and can be used by anyone. They are under a FOSS license that requires proper attribution. 2. The fact that the app downloads its maps from the app's CDN does not make the app "bad". But that's another story/narrative pushed towards OM by some of the F-Droid guys. Let's focus now on the installation issue. npub1jrjgkhrgzsn2vry543nfrc8dtf8n8w2f4kwwedvsc8ca28tfyvvq9kchx5 Organic Maps A highly recommended read about age verification and its privacy implications, with many interesting details and facts: https://reclaimthenet.org/the-age-verification-con https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/116/303/200/771/028/482/original/dceed3ccf25eacfb.jpeg npub1jrjgkhrgzsn2vry543nfrc8dtf8n8w2f4kwwedvsc8ca28tfyvvq9kchx5 Organic Maps For almost two years, users searching for Organic Maps on F-Droid have been unable to install the app due to a bug (or due to someone's deliberate choice?).
