I think it might be as well, that Lemmy doesn’t have the ammount of content other sites have. So people like me discovering a new channel can actually scroll a lot further into the past without realizing that you’ve run into posts that are a year old.

Probably make the bright pixels dark and the dark pixels bright.

Apparently there is 2 types of Windows licences. The ones that are bound to the hardware and ones that aren’t. If you bought a PC with preinstalled Windows, it’s probably the first and you wont get any new keys.

I have been running Linux for some time now, still had a Windows partition for gaming. Then I switched the motherboard and windows decided I no longer had a key for it… I stopped playing most of the windows exclusive games. Since last week I can’t even boot anymore, something about missing drivers. Spent a day trying to fix it. Today I decided fuck it and I’m just leaving it behind! It makes no sense wasting so much energy on a vastly inferior OS that actively tries to fight me.

AFAIK someone is working on it. But the problem is the high dynamics of public transport. Routes and schedules get changed quite often, schedules might be quite irregular (think only Sunday at 3:14). And all that data has to be stored offline. Stops might be changed do to construction work for a week. And that is in the optimal case: In some countries the bus comes when it comes, and stops if it wants to stop.

Currently you can see where the lines of a bus or the metro go, but that’s about it, I think.

They will never do, because they are not trying to. AFAIK no one is trying to build FOSS reviews of restaurants/stores, no one is building street view and no one is saving where you live to make the one click from work to home route planning. For me, those are not functions that I need (or want). I need a map that works offline, does route planning (offline) and allows me to display multiple GPX files at the same time.

Does OSMAnd have all that? It does, so for me it’s an alternative. What use case do you have?

The thing is, OSM is not comparable with GoogleMaps. OSM is just a (gigantic) database and is in many cases way more complete than GoogleMaps. What people usually associate with OSM is a rendered version of the database focused on what ever the renderer decided: bike lanes, waterways, hiking trails, etc. Many other apps actually use their database: OrganicMaps, Komoot, etc. And even more their rendered tiles. Now there are so many functionalities that this database doesn’t do like geocoding (searching for adresses), reverse geocoding (getting the adress of a point) or route planning, but there are tools for it build on OSM data. e.g. Nominatim does geocoding and graphhopper does routing.

And to be honest, if you’re travelling by bike graphhopper does a way better job at routing than google. An other plus, you can download the complete data for offline usage. All of Europe is only around 60GB.

So these immigrants move to France, don’t speak French, inflate the housing prices, isolate in an English bubble, buy and sell only from English people, and when they get some French workers they complain that people in Rome do as Romans do… I wonder why they aren’t able to find anyone to work for them.

Yeah, read that on the wikipedia afterwards. There was another article posted which stated that, so that’s probably why I was confused.

This is what I don’t understand. How can the USA trial him for treason? Wikipedia says

Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance

Why would an Australian owe allegiance to the US?

If windows ships curl, then it’s easy!

Clementine crashed so often after updates, but it was the only player whos GUI I really liked. So happy to have found Strawberry. It’s been really stable

Also don’t take it personal! If they tell you something it’s not against you but for the relationship. And try expressing stuff in sentences like “I feel that you don’t do the dishes enough” instead of “you never do the dishes”. Remember that they might percive the world differently and the real facts sound way more open to discussion if you just express your view instead of claiming absolutes!

No I understand, I really do. I develop myself. The thing is, if it’s opt-out, then it does not seem to be necessary. If it’s necessary, then you have to show that your interest in bug fixing outweights the users right to privacy.

I think if you use your own Matomo instance I’m way more ok with it, than if you include google.

If your app could also be used by people from the EU, you have to be GDPR complaiant as IP adresses are considered personal information. The question if crash reports are necessary (in the sense of GDPR Art. 6) hasn’t been decided yet AFAIK.

Several months after first publishing the website, I became an employee of Brave, where I contribute to Brave’s browser privacy engineering efforts. I continue to run this website independently of my employer, however. There is no connection with Brave marketing efforts whatsoever.

Also sure, Brave blocking trackers is +13 points, and Tor not leaking your IP adress is +1… Same level of privacy.

With EOL of Python 2.12, that is 10.2028, so there is 4½ years to update your code.

He found your website, didn’t he? How is that not good SEO?

So unknown in fact, that they posted a picture of themselves on Mastodon and are doing a public talk later this month at the biggest German hacker conference: https://social.hackerspace.pl/@q3k/111528162462505087

I don’t think the French will pass on an opportunity to strike, no matter the reason.
