How do you deal with maps and navigation?
I found https://www.qwant.com/maps pretty decent and comparable to Google Maps, especially for the ease to switch between pedestrian/biking/car directions. They don't have an app though.

How to use DDG Maps?
It is a reduced version of Apple Maps, so only looking and navigation, unfortunatelly. I'd recommend Qwant Maps for that.

OpenStreepMap 2012 vs. 2022
If you go to "edit" mode on the openstreetmap.org website, you'll see aerial/satellite imagery too, licensed for free from bing and others. AFAIK, that license is only for editors, thus they can't have it on the main website (and that wouldn't be a showcase of OSM data anyway).
I agree it's a bit of a shame that the openstreetmap.org doesn't do a better job of showcasing the wealth of data, and it could be more user friendly. There are a lot of other websites that provide the same data, represented differently. https://osmand.net/map for instance. https://www.qwant.com/maps has vector maps and is quite good too!

Which corporations in your opinion are the most evil for privacy, and the least evil for privacy?
The privacy setting on IOS is mostly somkes and mirrors as most data is still phoned home, somone made a blocklist of services that „phone home” weirdly often (alltough some I understand, others are there for unknow reason to me). (here is what apple claims each of those send/do ), telemetry is way too closely tied with apple walled garden to fully disable it without loosing funcionality. OEM versions of android arent really better but becuase of the nature of android you can install vanilla android or even a full blown linux distro, there are some efforts to port android and normal linux to iphones, but its very much only a proof of concept, not a end-user os. Generally i personally prefer a open solution for something as low-level as an operating system. Im also very dubious over the iMessage security claims as it had security problems in the past.

What do you guys use instead of Google maps?
Yet they enable personalized advertising by default and collect copious amounts of telemetry? Doesn't seem like "miles ahead" to me.

macOS: What is triald and why is it taking so much disk space?
I just put this list in /etc/hosts. Seems to work well enough. I don’t use any apple services on my Mac. This will probably break those.

Apple's retail employees are reportedly using Android phones and encrypted chats to keep unionization plans secret
Apple has personalized advertising and tracking on by default (having tripled their share of targeted mobile advertising since monopolizing it), as well as a wealth of telemetry and has participated in NSA's PRISM like all other large American tech companies, so I'm not really sure what point is being made here.

[Question] Is it possible to make jailbroken devices more private by totally cutting or reducing Apple's telemetry?
If you want a complete list of Apple Servers, check out this link and keep in mind that if you block all of them, services such as updates, App Store, and Apple Pay will probably be blocked by this list..
