What do you think of the pace of hardware level freedoms? My context is also from Corey Doctorow: https://youtu.be/3C1Gnxhfok0?si=RjmADE5pQ3s7fBIk

For me the freedom to own my computer means I can run any software I want on it.

Self hosting is predicated on some openness of computing in general. Interestingly it still does not practically allow you to use certain services like Google Maps, where even if the end user has great benefit, they get it for free because they give back their data.

There are the openstreetmap mapping apps (OSMand, organic maps)

Organic maps should be used instead of OSMand, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42343121

Or maybe Comaps, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43961908

		I share your preference for Organic Maps over OsmAnd, and while I haven't been daily-driving CoMaps for long (nor has anyone, really) I already significantly prefer it over Organic Maps. I need to use it long enough to see what the edge cases are like, but after using it three time zones worth of rural places and dense cities, it has worked well.
