2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Maybe faux pas to reply to my own comment I made further connections with this.
I literally had cloned and was fixing OSMBuildings.org because, among other things, it wasn't clamping values correctly [1] -- it's why my charging markers are white. But I felt conflicted doing that. I was happy with what I spiked with OSMBuildings and started exploring commercial services like MapBox and a few other OSS projects.
Operating projects and companies and organizations is not easy. It sucks what happened there. I'm not a hater and actually looked to Patreon or similar Paul Norman -- and maybe the 'vector tiles' earmark literally means that? But, I'm not happy with that previous behavior of the organization...
So it's great the OSM Vector Tile service will be dramatically improved...
If any of us start doing something interesting with, will we get jacked up like OSMBuildings? Is that the stewardship of this donations? That's the rub.

OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap) 4.3 for Android is fast with a new rendering engine
One use of that data is creating 3d renders, like this site: https://osmbuildings.org/

Is there a community fork of OSM Buildings or is it just dead?
The maintainer says it's not dead and the website still works, so... https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings/issues/252

Finally, an open source maps app that doesn't suck
I am assuming this is talking about Android, but for Mobile Linux, Pure Maps has been awesome: https://rinigus.github.io/pure-maps/
I have been successfully using it for over four months now for both car an bike navigation.

How to send audio output to bluetooth?
Thanks. I opened an issue and it seems to be a bug.

Do you really want Linux phones
OSMAND (like any Android app) is unlikely to be ported, but we have PureMaps, which is quite solid: https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps, and GNOME Maps has been improving lately, too.

LTT mentions Librem5 in the PinePhone video (timestamped)
Ok, this one I'll agree with for the most part. Well, not to the same extent but whatever. Gotta say though, the Sailfish and Plasma Mobile communities have been cross-pollinating tech quite a bit lately; Sailfish Connect is based on KDE Connect, while Pure Maps was ported to Kirigami (and UUI for Lomiri). Yes, many of the mobile Linux projects have historically been rather isolated from each other. However, this is an area which the Qt-based ones have been getting better at rectifying for a while now. Hopefully this continued cross-pollination continues, as the entire mobile Linux ecosystem will be all the better for it.
