Religion will become popular again and people still start falling for nonsense like ghosts and superstitions. People born after the 80s don’t really remember just how batshit crazy people went for misinformation before we had the internet.

We need a new internet without corporate bullshit and some integrity in terms of knowledge. But seeing what happened to the current one, I don’t think that will be possible until we kill capitalism.

These days firing employees when turning a profit is what makes the stock go up.

Use DKMS drivers. They rebuild for the latest kernel as its upgraded. Using precompiled libs is a problem as many vendors dont keep up with the kernel.

Also, consider an OS that isn’t just a Ubuntu variant. Broken kernel upgrades are a thing of the past since our house dumped Ubuntu based distros.

This is exactly it. He’s saying that Trump is behaving like Marie Antoinette right before the French revolutionists chopped off her head.

StreetComplete to help fill in the gaps. GeoShare to translate google/apple maps locations to geocoordinates for OSM, and then adding the place in OSMAnd if you login with the OpenStreetMaps editor plugin. This is how those of us who adopted Google Maps early added so much of their data…

I use OSMAnd and the search is a lot better, not sure what client you are using.

The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn’t pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them

Google maps only ever knew where you were going because Ingress players and Google “local guides” filled in all the data for them.

Update the out of date data. Its not hard and the more people use it the more accurate the places data will be.

Stuck (Me -> Middle <- You)

Specifically OSMAnd.

Medical argument against it actually, as you remove most of the healthy stuff.

In root vegetables, 80% of the vitamins are in the skin, and the flesh is nearly pure carbs. You’re throwing away most of the good stuff.

Damned Dry Beavers

Much better, aside from some residual health issues from the visit.

Was in the hospital for two months with mono. In ICU on a respirator for 4 weeks of that.

Was fired from my job, evicted from my apartment, and my girlfriend at the time decided to cheat on me while I was in there.

Good times.

Preventing their shitty brute force protection from allowing someone to get a users MS account password because they are FORCING users to use a non-local account?

The computer would have to store a hash locally to authenticate that account offline, so this is very likely why this is here. Because they’ve enabled a path to brute forcing their cloud accounts without their servers knowing.

The windows shithole is just layers of bad design all the way down.

When I first started learning PCs and Linux, I just went to the local thrift stores and Value Village. Even today people turn in all kinds of perfectly working compute hardware, mostly just old. Consumer stuff doesn’t retain much resale value and many cannot be bothered with trying to sell it, so it ends up in the dump, at the recyclers, in thrift stores, or on classified ads like Craig’s list, kijiji and the like.

EBay usually only sees the stuff that can fetch a worthwhile dollar.

Great analogy.

Moreover, in programming a single = sets the value on the left to the value on the right, while == (or in some languages ===) means to compare the values (and === is explicit).

Then there are the various forms of not equal (!=) and greater than/less than or equal ( <=, >= )
