Telegram allows sharing links with location. Telegram-desktop currently invokes Google Maps on those coordinates when clicked. To better protect user privacy, it is better to use OpenStreetMap (like e.g. Telegram-FOSS mobile app already does) The attached patch changes telegram-desktop so. Tested on Debian Stable (Bookworm) telegram-desktop 4.6.5+ds-2+b1, but applies to Sid version telegram-desktop_4.14.9+ds-1.1 too.
