Love CoMaps, it had shockingly good routing instructions for subway trips in many European cities that I visited, and saving the maps locally let me navigate with ease before I picked up a local sim card. I don’t find it very effective to search by address, but landmark or business name work well. At home I just have my usual destinations bookmarked and it has solid routing instructions, though it doesn’t have live traffic updates because it doesn’t connect to any remote servers.

Ah, you mean Tim Apple. 😉

I use CoMaps on Linux (as well as mobile) and it works quite well.

Harsh but accurate. Without Carrie Fisher to doctor his scripts (and his wife to find the film in the edit) Lucas was a director famously indifferent to dialogue or character.

WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.

Gator, no!

OMG this, and the breathless media reporting about that fictional title are part of the problem. Just the dumbest way to run an economy.

Booming Music for local storage, with some Bandcamp streaming and occasional YouTube playlists via NewPipe.

This article doesn’t mention the limitations of remote access for Jellyfin, which requires some tricks like reverse proxy or Tailscale.

I switched to CubeTrek 2 years ago and have been generally happy with it. I sometimes miss the social aspects, but then I just text my friends and we ride bikes together anyway.

I assume they are all running for the public exit because they are losing money faster than they can raise it and don’t have any reliable business models to which they can transition in the near term. If they can’t become profitable, the next best thing is to go public while the hype is hot and to cash out ASAP.

The only thing I bought after being advertised on a podcast was a Cleverhood jacket/poncho thing, and I have zero regrets, it’s a great rain jacket. But I had seen other people use them so it wasn’t a complete ad-based purchase.

Ecosia and Qwant are trying to change that, but it’s an uphill fight.

Considering that every Cybertruck ever produced has been recalled, it’s fair to point out that it has been a short, troubled history for this platform.

Also, 173 units is a devastating indictment, probably the wildest part of the article.

Ooh, man, I’ll be trying this out later!

And you melt it down to form a sword that can reveal and vanquish serpent men.

If the reporting is accurate, your data is still sent to Google’s servers for processing. This doesn’t appear to improve privacy, it’s more like an extension of the user surveillance business model that Google has pursued in the past decade.

so if you shoplifted in a Nottingham Tesco’s, be prepared to be banned from Sainsbury’s in Swansea

This got a genuine chuckle from me, I love a bit of good writing in the wild!

I’m still convinced these statements will age like milk.

A built-in ad blocker is easily the least problematic announcement coming out of Mozilla in the last year.
