Boycott all US based services.
This is the way.

Do you believe US civilians should be prohibited from interacting with the rest of the world?
Yes...? Why haven't other countries sanctioned the US for Gaza genocide? But that's also not the point at hand.

whataboutism isn't some magical phrase that you can utter every time someone brings up hypocrisy
if we're going to support sanctioning civilians based on their countries breaking international law, then we should not have double standards. otherwise it's very clearly a geopolitical issue and not a moral one.
and that's what this is actually about. the US sanctions on Russia are a geopolitical tool meant to make the Russian re-subjugation of Ukraine more expensive. that's it.
to me, that doesn't justify banning individuals from participating in OSS projects. anybody that wants to contribute should be able to.

When the big tech guys showed up to the inauguration and sat in the front row to pay tribute it was such a clear example of how capital always yields to authoritarians.
a display of their choices.

I love organic maps, sometimes I practice navigation by turning location off and using a compass with the downloaded map on my phone.

Very interesting

OsmAnd is okay, but I really like the interface of Organic Maps better.
Organic Maps is definitely easier to use, especially for new users but OsmAnd is more powerful. I have both and they're awesome.

I wish there was some way to share the assets since they use the same base data. I use osmand because I find it better for hiking and route planning to send to my watch, but would use organic as well if I I didn't need to keep two copies of the maps.

Yeah I know what you mean. Map downloads especially can take up a lot of space/take a lot of mobile data to download. I tried to copy them across manually once but it didn't work.

Yeah it seems like they use different "chunks" so I don't think it would be cross compatible.

Get your government to stop invading Ukraine.
How about we get the american government to stop supplying Israel with bombs they drop on Gaza? Oh, I guess that's too much effort.

“Is it right?” Are you kidding? Yes, it’s obviously a better alternative than invading another country and killing people. It’s one of the ways we have learned, as a species, to avoid massive wars and losses of life. If you’re advocating for war as an alternative then you should fuck off and die so you don’t get other people killed in the process.
Just because someone does something instead of fighting a war doesn't make whatever they actually did do right. They could also do neither thing. Especially if the alternative to war turns out to not actually achieve the goal the war would have achieved, leaving them in the same position of deciding whether to do a bad thing or not, after having already done another different bad thing.
