Yeah I contribute to OSM but apps like OsmAnd are a far cry in features from Google Maps. The paths are very much not optimized. If I tell it to go back to my hometown it takes me about 15 minutes out of the way. And I can’t tell it to go to a certain house because the houses aren’t mapped yet.

Should I help map them? Yes. But for your average user that’s not going to work.

It’s also in the The Cask of Amontillado. Great word, ejaculate.

I met a man from France who said that the French spoken in Montréal is “real French.” I was pretty shocked to hear that.

Glad I could be of service.

Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.

The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.

As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.

It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.

It will come down to the laws in your country and how much money you plan to spend on lawyers if your employer wants to force the issue.

Taco Bell most likely.

Ahh Bill Maher is not a liberal comedian. He’s really not either of these things.

Running an absolutely ancient kernel.

Columbus is kind of known for not being known for anything.

I’ve lived here for a little over 15 years and various places in Ohio for every bit of my 40 years. There are things to like about it (low cost of living compared to the rest of the country, 4 seasons of weather) and things to not like about it (really, too many people for me – I’m from a rural area, and local and state government are not great). I like that it’s kind of a generic Midwestern town. Plenty of sports to watch if you like that kind of thing.

I think it’s underrated. People are moving here like crazy, so maybe they agree, but it’s causing rents to get out of control. I feel bad for those moving here. It’s a lot less affordable than when I came in 15 years ago.

World HQ is in Columbus, OH. Represent!

My sister is aggressively extroverted, and I am about as introverted. She insists on talking over the phone. All the time. I have to recover from it.

It works on 2 different levels for me.

1. He needs psychiatric help but decides to drink instead.
2. He needs help at the store but this particular employee is not helpful.

When I was in college in the mid aughts, there was a Taco Bell across the street from campus. Only place I could get full on $3.

That’s crazy.

Apparently some people have not heard about the bird.

Apparently this is the app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.devicelock

Kentucky Mule here. Bourbon rather than vodka.

I also recommend Bundaberg ginger beer in any mule.

Which was built because of the limitations of ALSA.
