It sounds like you're both talking past each other re: is it the "share on Facebook" tracking thing, or the smartphone "share" button that is just how you export a file these days.

Wait what?

(altho they have also recently said there would be no referendum on independence as long as trump is in power,

What is the thinking behind that?

and most of the quebec population is against independence right now)

How can this be, if the pro-independence party is leading the polls?

What is up in Quebec these days, if you wanted to explain to an outsider?

Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is Born

You might know of Organic Maps, the open source app that's an alternative to Google Maps. Recently, concerns have been raised about its governance, with many contributors questioning the project's transparency and direction.

Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code were made by a small group of shareholders, often without input from the broader contributor community.

These shareholders have reportedly used the project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips, raising serious concerns about financial transparency.

As a result, many contributors teamed up and forked the project, establishing CoMaps, a new alternative focused on openness and being not-for-profit.
