MANY of the old places of the internet are still active, heavily overshadowed by the current centralized feudal web of 5 websites all with screenshots of each other but STILL alive. Hell, even IRC is still running, and i understand so does Usenet!

So, appealing to actual fucking nazis isn’t actually profitable? Oh noes!

I understood it was Google-only, great to be mistaken about it. Still, the app should also support that geojson importation format too, there shouldn’t be a need for external tools, SPECIALLY since it’s what Google Takeout gives you, this very much should be a feature of the app.

Heh, hadn’t seen KDE like this in ages, it’s been a while

Good and all, but as somebody mentioned on the Masto comments this shouldn’t be needed, this is taking an open JSON file and turning it into a proprietary Google-only format so that Organic Maps can import it, that feature should be on the app itself already.

Also as you’re uploading that data to a random website you’re effectively doxxing yourself as your important addresses likely will be there, your home, your workplace, etc.

Edit: Was mistaken and corrected below, the format IS a standard, not proprietary, in addition the author answered in Masto clarifying that all the conversion happens in the browser without uploading anything. That said, i do insist that the app should support uploading in this geojson format, specially since it’s what Google Takeout gives you

In that line, is there an open standards, no Google required answer to the Chromecast?

Have you seen an XMPP setup these days that doesn’t have installed all the extra stuff to allow encryption, voice and a lot of other bells and whistles?

Naturists and the topfreedom movement also face these same challenges, all with the same root cause

What’s the “best practices” for DNS these days besides running your own local service?

We’re seeing the fallout from a commercial service used for public interest communication falling in real time with Twitter, so many public service things that depended or still depend on Twitter have outright broke as it turns into raw sewage and people flee it. That should have NEVER been the main communications medium, and now the price is being paid. I understand as i too am in a place where WhatsApp is near-mandatory, but this is something that WILL have bad consequences sooner or later.

“We MUST make the foxes the watchers of the hen-house! It will make everybody safer!”

Need to retry this at some point, last time i tried it, the Kindle app worked in Wine but had no connection, i suspect this was a Wine configuration issue

I didn’t knew about lsof -i, noted

Before anything, will this get a bunch of not technically knowledgeable people flagged by the *AA corps?

They’re not

Reproduced here, Chromium on Linux Mint desktop. You need to have open a Google.com site for it to work though.

To be honest they’re just starting on this part

After letting them pass many times (well, one of them, the other’s more recent), this time i said “Meh, let’s do it this time” and got Untitled Goose Game and Little Kitty, Big City. Both got me hooked immediately, did all the achievements for the kitty and nearly all for the goose (there’s some for speedrunning, and I’m not really into doing that, so likely those achievements are gonna stay undone forever). Both were fun and would recommend them.

You assume they give a fuck

How the hell does he do so much? 😄
