Here a a few things that I miss from OsmAnd:
Organic Maps is my goto solution for car navigation because it is very quick, responsive and does not require an high end phone. It just works. However for anything more advanced than that (e.g. live location sharing or recording, planning a hiking trip, navigating mountain bike trails, contributing to OpenStreemMap), OSMAnd is still without contender.
Availability still very limited:

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.
That is not entirely correct. The reported found the app using permissions that are not covered by the manifest. It also found the app being capable to execute arbitrary code send by temu. So it cannot be clearly answered if the app can utilize these permissions or not. Obviously they would not ship such an exploit with the app directly.
This is your best option. I did do movie nights with friends during the pandemic in a similar way, but I used OBS Studio to create the stream and Monaserver to stream it to all users. I did not know VLC can handle the streaming to users directly, making this dead simple to setup without additional software. You just need to know how to configure your router to allow the needed port forwarding.
Wenn mit "möglichst vielen Menschen" wirklich alle Menschen gemeint sind und nicht bestimmte Gruppen, dann sind diese beiden Ziele zwei Seiten der selben Medaille.
Agreed. From a privacy perspective, it is a lot safer to run the app in an environment where you have admin control. E.g. disable when not in use, block access to sensitive device information, limit background and network activity as much as possible.
I'd second this. The organization behind it (https://calyxinstitute.org/about) is a long established non profit, their portfolio covers various cool projects. The vpn client itself is basically a rebranded version of https://f-droid.org/packages/se.leap.bitmaskclient, it it is nothing special.
The question is not weather Google is tracking or not, the question is if Google is breaking the law doing so.
Well looks like I'm never going to get a device from this manufacturer then.
