  • Maps.me co-founder tries to close down Organic Maps open-source fork - HN

    Jump

  • If I'm reading this correctly, the headline is...very inaccurate.

    It looks like a dispute between two developers in Organic Maps, who both started out at Maps.me, specifically over whether their CDN redirector should be public or private.

  • Wow, so nobody traveled across the Mediterranean until the modern era? Gosh!

  • "Woke" games

    Jump

  • They tell you they only mean the ham-fisted stuff to get "reasonable" people to agree with them, then they move the goalposts and start calling everything else woke, regardless of "ham-fistedness," to get "reasonable" people to expand their definition of "woke" in a pejorative sense and associate a wider range of media as being "woke and therefore bad." Just like they did in past decades with "political correctness."

  • Someone's concern for privacy can change throughout the day or at different locations. To keep the metaphor going, they might be fine with the top being open while they're driving, but want it closed when the car is parked.

  • What's a good way to map bathrooms/showers/water fountains?

    Jump

  • Same here. The learning curve is higher on Vespucci, but once you're familiar with it it's extremely capable!

  • Another “governance” think tank has its eye on the fediverse

    Jump

  • Not sure how you get from Fediverse people researching what server admin/moderation structures work well and which ones don't to CIA censorship.

  • In what ways has your use of technology/internet changed in 2023?

    • Dropped Reddit and Twitter completely. Actually deleted my Reddit account and deleted most of my Twitter history.
    • Stopped using Gmail as my primary email.
    • Went back to DVD and Blu-Ray for shows and movies I think I might want to rewatch.
    • Slowly importing stuff I've posted on various social media to my website.
    • Slowly moving stuff off of Google Drive and Dropbox to my local PC and/or Nextcloud.
    • Finally set up my Nextcloud server to use object storage so I can use it for auto-uploads without worrying about space.
    • Tried out a bunch of different Fediverse platforms.
    • Made more of an effort to report bugs instead of just living with them or using something else.
    • Deleted Chrome as my secondary browser and installed Vivaldi. (I've been using Firefox as my primary for a while.)

    Moving stuff is slow because I don't want to just copy it all over, I want to decide what to keep in the process.

  • Trump Supporters Have a Meltdown After Green Day Slam 'MAGA Agenda' During New Year's Show

  • Wow, imagine how upset they'd be if they listened to the rest of the lyrics!

  • Goodbye Chrome. It was great while it lasted.

    Jump

  • "What would incentivise companies to use it over a regular website with tracking and whatnot?"

    Nothing...and that's kinda the point.

  • Goodbye Chrome. It was great while it lasted.

    Jump

  • Oh geez, thinking back to the "we had it first!" wars between Opera fans and Firefox fans about tabs back in the pre-Chrome days...

  • Goodbye Chrome. It was great while it lasted.

    Jump

  • Firefox, and Vivaldi for the occasional site that doesn't work on Gecko. (They're built on the Chromium engine, but absolutely refusing to implement this crap)

  • Deleted

  • "the private enforcement mechanism" -- which is essentially an end run around restrictions on what the government is technically not allowed to do itself, by heavily implying that they want something done instead of explicitly hiring someone to do it. "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

    You might say his results were...predetermined

  • Best Buy to end DVD & Blu-ray disc sales

    Jump

  • I've gone back to Blu-Ray for some things because I no longer trust streaming sites to keep them available.

  • Engage a Wider Audience With ActivityPub on WordPress.com

    Jump

  • Looks like it is available for free, but you get a really awkward username. I just enabled it on an old WP.com blog that I have on a free account and while @kelson.wordpress.com@kelson.wordpress.com works (I was able to subscribe to it from both Mastodon and GoToSocial), it's a bit unwieldy.

  • Engage a Wider Audience With ActivityPub on WordPress.com

    Jump

  • Apparently not anymore. I have a free account on WordPress.com and I just turned it on like you said.

  • GNOME Merge Requests Opened That Would Drop X.Org Session Support

    Jump

  • Same here. I have a few applications that I had to specifically turn on Wayland support for (Thunderbird & Vivaldi, for instance), and a lot that work just fine, and the ones I have issues with are mostly the X-only apps running on Xwayland, which tend to be less stable than they were directly under X, but there are only a few that I still use.

  • As 2024 Looms, Democrats’ Campaign Tech Crumbles Under Private Equity Squeeze

    Jump

  • ^&@% Private equity again...

    Political organizing is a great example of something that shouldn't be owned by this kind of firm.

    (Followed by every other kind of organization. The concept of treating "business" as a set of interchangeable parts that move money in and out of opaque boxes and not actually focusing on what they do and why is massively broken IMO)
