One of the hardest things to replace when 'degoogling' is certainly Google Maps.
That said, time to check out the Beta of Vela Maps, a degoogled maps & navigation client for Android that looks very promising!

‼️ Apple's Private Find My People Reversed to Decrypt Live Shared Locations on Linux
Source: https://t.co/Qq5TS0AZm9
A security researcher has successfully reverse-engineered Apple's private Find My People protocol, demonstrating that a Linux machine can register with Apple's internal services, receive an existing location-sharing key, and decrypt a friend's live location without ever touching a Mac or iPhone.
The project began innocently: the researcher wanted to build Discord geofence alerts using location data a friend was already sharing via Apple's Find My app.
What looked like a simple authenticated API call turned into roughly a week of reverse-engineering Apple's private device-identity and messaging infrastructure, since no prior open-source project had fully replicated the flow.

📱 Signal no necesitará número de teléfono en 2026
Signal está desarrollando en una opción para registrarse sin necesidad de asociar un número de teléfono. Los indicios aparecen en actualizaciones recientes de su código de servidor, donde se están preparando ajustes para gestionar cuentas que no tengan ese dato vinculado, incluyendo aspectos de seguridad y manejo regional.
Por ahora todo apunta a que sería una alternativa voluntaria y limitada a cuentas nuevas: no se podría añadir un número después ni quitarlo de una cuenta que ya lo tenga.
El mayor reto, según el propio director técnico de la aplicación, es evitar el abuso y el spam. El número de teléfono actúa actualmente como un filtro natural, y están buscando alguna forma de sustituirlo por otra barrera (que podría incluir un pequeño coste o mecanismo similar) para mantener la protección del servicio.
En declaraciones de hace unos meses indicaron que esperaban tenerlo disponible a lo largo de este año, y los cambios técnicos más recientes sugieren que el desarrollo está avanzando.
En mi opinión, que puedan convivir ambas opciones, es una maravilla, esperemos que esté pronto disponible.
