That looks actually great.

As Kilgore said, it isn’t FOSS. And while it’s hard to prove, they claim they don’t collect any user data, and instead make their money through partnering with businesses.

There is unfortunately only one way for smaller businesses (or any for that matter) to show up, and that is people contributing to osm itself.

Edit: a word.

Organic maps is probably my favourite osm app for general use. I still have OsmAnd for various purposes, and I use Magic Earth when driving for the included traffic calculations. I hope that Organic Maps can generate some traffic data in the future. Though, I imagine for it to work well, some sort of open sharing of traffic data would need to happen to avoid fragmentation between apps.

I’ve been thinking of switching the GrapheneOS. I certainly enjoy my privacy, and are taking steps to move to sources that don’t harvest my data. Outside of YouTube and android I’ve completely degoogled myself, even replaced Maps with magic earth and OsmAnd. I even swapped full time to linux a handful of months ago as a gamer with a VR interest. But I’m not so hardcore to not use any service that might sell my data. I still use vanilla firefox, food ordering apps, and discord for example. So while I’m not someone who goes to extreme lengths to protect my data, moving over to GrapheneOS doesn’t seem like a huge inconvenience compared to the gains you get.

I’m not sure if this is what you meant, but I can see the argument that it’s important to not dehumanise people like Putin, Hitler, and the rest, as these pure evil creatures. If we can’t see them as nuanced people, with both wicked and decent sides to them, we’ll lose the ability to recognise the next up and coming tyrant.

It’s a difficult topic. Yes, there’s harm in completely demonize a person or group of people, but at the same time, Putin is actively waging an unjust war murdering hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and his own people. Hardly a time to bring up his love of… whatever non-polarizing topics he cares for.

Any company that serves European customers have to follow GDPR. Any company that breaks it can be fined by the EU. Hence why a bunch of American websites rather just block European browsers instead of changing their cookie/data retention policies.

I was gonna argue for the left side as each child can be seen as the root of its own tree. But your logic is flawless, it’s clearly the correct answer.

So there’s a lot of text under the criticism section, And I’m sure my argument against it is nothing new, but wouldn’t the operation and monitoring of the door take some energy? Even in a “friction less spherical cow” perfect world, removing the cost of operating the door seems to be a bit of a stretch.

What are the arguments for it really?

Yes. Pedantically (as if this is a real language to begin with) it would be “Trick AND NOT Treat”.

No you see some infinites are bigger than other. So light year is basically a larger infinity than millions. There’s a YouTube video about, look it up 👍

/s (you never know these days)

Ah yes. I always forget to remove the label from my hunted bird. Cleaning “the top bone” is such a chore as well.

I don’t know what anti perspirants you’ve been using, but Rituals ones don’t stain or leave residue on any of my clothes.

Do I understand it right that it’s a free replacement of the still copyrighted game assists such as textures and models, and not the code itself? I’m curios if the level design wouldn’t also fall into this.

Fucking hell. That’s a bit on the nose isn’t it?

I’ve gone with PopOs. Ubuntu based so well supported. They’ve been around for a while now so they won’t disappear over night. Gaming just works.

I was on Nobara for a while and really liked it. but while glorious eggroll is the goat, I don’t want to put my DE in the hands of a single person.

Since swapping the I’ve experienced one game crashing freeze (which I hope was a one off), and when screen sharing BG3 over discord it slows the game down to a crawl. But I blame discord for this one, as its fine when streaming from OBS.

Am I wrong I thinking that the CO2 emission from plastics is missing the point a bit. The issue in my mind is that the plastics remain in nature for a very long time with unknown health risks to us and the ecosystem.

When comparing a plastic bag vs a paper bag for shopping I hear the argument that making the paper bag has a lot more co2 emissions tied to it. But if I throw it in the bin it will be mulch before the end of the month.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant :D

Please correct my layman understanding if I’m wring here. But isn’t everything traveling in a straight line until an external force is applied. For example the earth orbiting the sun is traveling in a straight line in a curved apacetime. Also if you jump, the moment you leave the ground until you touch it again coming back down you were traveling in a straight line.

And then you realise your dumb endless ls-ing has pushed the command off the history list
