I agree.

I find the Teams app works great on Ubuntu. The Microsoft apps work OK in browser, until you have a lot of collaborators.

I rarely need to switch to windows, so when I do switch I expect to spend an hour doing updates.

Oh dang that’s creepy.

Hell, I would copy the question sometimes :P

Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.

Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.

You are in luck my friend: https://streetcomplete.app/

They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.

Signal had SMS support and dropped it. I imagine any argument for Whatsapp interoperability would face a similar fate.

That’s some interesting perspective, I hadn’t thought of it that way. With Trump it’s really hard to know what is coming until it happens, but it’s nice that some people see a silver lining.

The article explains some of the background to chromium which I hadn’t known.

Google’s Chrome is a freeware release with deeper ties to Google’s ecosystem, while Chromium, released at the same time as Chrome in 2008, is open source. Google has slowly loosened its de facto control of the project, particularly since 2020, allowing outside developers into its leadership, softening its stance on non-Google-derived features and opening up its “Goma” development scheme for Chromium, as detailed by CNET in 2020.

I recently started donating to Mozilla. They have been delivering a good product for a very long time, the least I can do is pay for it.

Yeah these are tricky social and technical problems that will be solved one way or another. Corporations can solve it behind closed doors, but I’m glad that governments are also trying to solve it.

If we have the opportunity to criticize the government’s solutions then than means there is transparency, which is more than we would get from many corporations.

You pushed it to OsmAnd? Thank you!

Oh I didn’t know you could setup quick options.

You can share profiles?! Sweet thanks.

Yeah it doesn’t have the friendliest user interface, but it does have an enormous amount of functionality when you eventually find the menu you are looking for.

Well if it doesn’t happen again, that means Linux isn’t doing well.

‘it’ being a handoff of ownership

Yeah, it’s interesting to look through the edit history over the years. With StreetComplete I recently fixed ~8 stores that were many years out of date, during an hour walk.

It’s fun to find a real hole-in-the-wall that even google maps doesn’t have.

I have found Organic Map’s search to be far better than OSMand. OSMand has far more features though.

Up voted, because I don’t agree. I have the 2023 power or whatever it’s called with the big battery.

• the double chop and twist are so fast
• wired headphones are lovely
• the battery life is the best I have had
• when you want a nice picture you can borrow an iphone 😅

Yes, you link your OSM account to StreetComplete and it adds your contributions via your OSM account. Same with Vespucci.

When you log into OSM you can see all the contributions pushed by StreetComplete.

The devs are doing a stunning job with the app so I have no qualms.
