Anyone knows any scripts or whatnot which would enable the download of current timeline history (with places, establishments and their addresses and all other (meta)data), and import into the alternative open source self-hosted one? Haven&#

This. So much this. I won't rant here again, but I have ranted about it here in the recent past. Having a dead man's switch in an app is particularly annoying, especially when the new version intentionally cripples the previous fu

I own an ancient glass one that was just digital. The display stopped working at one point for no bloody reason. So, eventually I gutted its controller/display and replaced it with arduino, HD44780-based display, and HX711 mass sensor

I know nothing about music genres... but such organized "mini-magazines" in PDFs that cover the outlines and basics seems quite appealing and interesting.

Good Lorde how I hate capacitive touch buttons on appliances and such. I regularly brush by my icemaker (it's a tight corridor/passage), and cause the water dispenser to splash everywhere. I have a 3D-modelled overlay (basically a

I am not. Please re-read. While privacy is always an issue, notice I even directly said I'd willingly enable telemetry for some software (as a means of disambiguation and explanation of my stance), amongst other caveats. However, what

Fork name suggestion: Gaudacity. As in Ye Olde "G(ood) Audacity". Intentional misspelling of "gouda" (but sounds the same), has original name as a substring, and should come with appropriately cheesy wedge located betwee

@I have a theory: I would agree, in principle and mostly in practice. However, if one knows better, then they must also know that the same "better" can be done. It is hard, yes, and it takes practice, but is achievable. Exposure t

This reminds me of that tale/urban legend/reality when, once upon a time, some cows were eating the old Trabant cars (that had an outer body made od some type of plastic).

You can always use multiple ("specialized") instances of portable Firefox (with MultipleInstance=true in ini file). That's how I do it, and I've been using portable Firefox versions exclusively for 10+ years, I think.

I might be missing some obvious point, but I think that your premise assumes (all/majority) of people are lazy. From the greatest utility viewpoint, if being unemployed (vs "lazy") gives liveable monetary benefits vs the em

Hm, IIRC if you still have an (ideally forward-facing) headphone jack, I believe there were cheap plug-ins (essentially IR LED on a 3.5 mm connector) that would provide the functionality given a proper software.
