Americans believe a single city (New York) represents 30% of the American population?

I saw a toot of a similar vein a couple months ago and it motivated me to start learning to draw. I’m still pretty bad at doing anything beyond stick figures but it’s fun

AFAIK it’s just a webapp.

Organic maps (and now comaps) have a much better rendering engine. It’s much faster, while also being much more legible. It’s routing engine is also faster.

OsmAnd does have the upper hand when it wcomes to features though. I have both and use OsmaAnd when I need to export a route to GPX or see relief.

Planetes (ΠΛΆΝΗΤΕΣ). A really great science fiction anime by the creator of Cowboy Bebop. Pretty realistic as far as the “science” in science-fiction goes. A bit slow to start, but really touching.

Because I like freedom to park almost anywhere and outdoors. I also don’t like being a danger for everyone around me.

Since we cannot verify the software they run on the server is the software that is open source then we must assume it is not.

But that’s like, the case for pretty much every messenger out there, outside of self-hosting, which will not be done by 99.99% of the general population.

This comparison makes some questionnable choices. It puts the presence of a web client as green, when actually this breaks the thread model of end-to-end encryption.

they don’t want to do anything about federation or messenger intercompatibility.

Their reasoning is that they only trust themself to keep the meta data safe and so need you.

That’s not their reasoning. Their reasoning is that it’s much harder to evolve the protocol in a decentralized context than a centralized one. It’s not that they only trust themselves with your metadata, it’s that they can improve the protocol much faster in order to get rid of most metadata.

They have been able to deploy a ton of protocol updates with regards to minimizing the amount of metadata anyone has access to (including them), while other decentralized alternatives have essentially been stuck in limbo for a while:

• Secure Value recovery
• Groups V2
• Sealed sender
• Usernames
• Post quantum resistance

On the other hand, Matrix, XMPP and email are very leaky with regards to metadata. I’m not going into email because that’s pretty documented, but here it is for matrix:

• Message reactions are not encrypted
• Group membership are not encrypted (which lead to attacks)
• Profile pic and Name are public (visible by everyone even people with whom you don’t have any contact)

Because they “reward” people with crypto for watching ads so a lot of cryptobro assholes have financial interest in the browser getting more popular.

Also the CEO is homophobic and right-wing so it speaks to a lot of loud assholes.

It’s being projected as part of a protest by https://bsky.app/profile/politicalbeauty.bsky.social and https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:37x2qvt3z5iwuyzusvnvlepi

It’s a joint project between many organisations, primarly KDE and Gnome. In practice right now it’s legally hosted by Gnome and they’re trying to make flathub into its own organisation.

For a linux phone

He says he has had permission. Given that it’s a mostly 1 person project it’s possibly true.

Like sudo that has had zero days lurking for 10 years?

I’m not advocating for reimplementing stuff for no good reason though.

And there are apps that make it very very easy and fun. Check out street complete.

You can contribute them!

There’s a pretty barebones editor in Organic Maps, but you can also check out Street Complete and Every door (more advanced and less user friendly, though insanely efficient)

Zig is a very new and immature language. It won’t be kernel-ready for at l’East another 10 years.

a better syntax

That’s pretty suggestive. Rust syntax is pretty good. Postfix try is just better for example.

Zig also uses special syntax for things like error and nullability instead of having them just be enums, making the language more complex and less flexible for no benefit.

Syntax is also not everything. Rust has extremely good error messages. Going through Zig’s learning documentation, half the error messages are unreadable because I have to scroll to see the actual error and data because it’s on the same line as the absolute path as the file were the error comes from

No hidden memory allocation

That’s a library design question, not a language question. Rust for Linux uses its own data collections that don’t perform hidden memory allocations instead of the ones from the standard library.

it’s more readable

I don’t know, Rust is one of the most readablelangueage for me.

Fast compile time

Is it still the case once you have a very large project and make use of comptime?

it’s simpler to learn

Not true. Because it doesn’t have the guardrails that rust has, you must build a mental model of where the guardrails should be so you don’t make mistakes. Arguably this is something that C maintainers already know how to do, but it’s also not something they do flawlessly from just looking at the bugs that regularly need to be fixed.

Being able to write code faster does not equate being able to write correct code faster.

Really great interop with C

Yes, because it’s basically C with some syntax sugar. Rust is a Generational change.

It is absolue in safe Rust, aka 99% of Rust code.

That’s not going to happen within the lifetime of the batteries of the trains though.
