OsmAnd: This map application is popular enough that it probably doesn’t need mentioning, but good golly is it a powerful tool. Great options for downloading maps and having them offline, and while the car navigation might be missing one or two key features that you’d expect from proprietary alternatives (like live traffic), the sheer amount of detail that has been crowdsourced is mindblowing. There are a wealth of trails and cycle routes, low level details like park benches, bridges, and lookout spots, and the various map profiles you can build are very customizable. I’m personally a huge fan of the trip recording plugin for tracking all my hikes, runs, bike rides, canoe trips, and even swims.

Oh hmmm geee, I wonder what language it’s built with

Jk I friggin love Rust, great to see more projects like this

I find parenthesis are best when concept B is worth noting, but tangential to concept A, especially when the next few points are going to be back on the same track that A was on.

I quite like my Kubuntu Focus. I found some people complaining about the durability of System76 chassis (apparently they’re plastic) and that’s why I didn’t go with them.

Still free! We’ll just have to fork Plasma to get the infinite errors back.

I liked Bradley Cooper but after watching American Sniper I can’t see his face anymore without seeing the smug visage of imperialist murder.

Click Clack Moo. All about labour organizing, with a nice dose of animal rights.

Wow even equipped with toilet paper on the left there for those who can’t step away from the computer. Seiko sure knew their audience.

If you don’t use a DE, it looks like there are ways to enable it in window managers as well. You’ll have to look up specific instructions for yours.

Some desktop environments set a default compose key, but you might have to set one manually. Common choices are the menu key or the right alt key if you don’t use it much.

Mostly it just defines a set of pretty standard and sensible combinations to add accents or other modifiers to existing characters, but there’s quite a bit you can do with it.

Tried to sign up, stuck in a login loop now.

Is this article bookended by an ad for a VR meditation app?

In the last fifteen years I’ve seen the reigning take on the internet go from impossibly naive optimism to full-throated cynicism, and I think the switch more reflects the underlying material conditions shifting and people’s general anxiety about the state and direction of the world than it does anything about the social effect of the technology itself.

Unlike anthropogenic climate change, which remains the real nightmare of our age, these are sociological theses that are not as easily defined or tested. Is our era really more hive-minded than that of the cable news generation, or the first people to be glued to their radios for centralized information? What is the casual role of the actual connective infrastructure as compared to how capital has invaded the space with digital tools that aim to hook your eyeballs for as long as possible? When new communicative technology develops, is the resulting increased access to information and perspectives worth the tradeoff when everyone’s reading the same Martin Luther pamphlet?

These articles are all just following the same cynical trend, and much like the naivety of two decades ago, they put technology in the driver’s seat instead of human relations, or capital. None of them are asking or attempting to answer any of the interesting questions imo. The only concrete point in the article is on having some tech-free spaces, which I agree would be a good thing. The younger generation that is coming into their twenties now may already be better at setting limits on their own than I was, and in my experience they have been quicker to recognize that their phone makes them feel anxious and disconnected.

Some Willem Van Spronsen type stuff maybe?

One of my smaller incentives for getting the family group chat off Messenger and onto Signal was to be able to share memes from Hexbear without converting them.

In Time (2011). Time is currency in the dystopia in the film - paying for something decreases your lifespan, earning wages increases it.

The movie sets up a really cool class structure, wherein there are rich people born with/inheriting hundreds of thousands of years of life, and poor people barely managing to scrape enough hours to stay alive until they can earn more the next day. There are segmented areas of the city that cost years to get into.

Overall incredible premise, but the story wasn’t exceptional beyond a couple of the cool mechanics you might expect based on said premise.

The DNC made it fully clear in court that they have no obligation to voters over who their nominee is.

On top of that, you have the kind of shenanigans they pulled in 2020 when Obama pulled strings to ensure Joe Biden had no competing moderates on Super Tuesday (of course, Warren stayed in).

And then there’s the fuckery in Iowa with the newly implemented voting app, connected to Pete’s family, that was only caught by Sanders supporters keeping an independent tally.

If you want to go even more conspiratorial, you can look at the huge discrepancies between pre-adjusted exit polling and the actual primary results.

The Democratic party will never, ever let someone like this win the nomination.

Very cool image! It looks like there’s some text on it. Would you mind responding to this comment and telling me what the text says?

I friggin love Plasma!
