Fair enough. I don't think we are going to agree on much nor convince each other because: - You want one app that works almost everywhere in the world and UX is paramount to you. Less privacy and mediocrity is fine - I am happy to use

Maybe you could enumerate with more detail exactly how Google Maps is unmatched and what features you need? You haven't said much so far. You also won't really acknowledge negatives of it so I think you are not being very objectiv

I know some cabins are quite remote but do you have a trusted neighbour who would do it for a case of beer? My mum's neighbours buy milk and bread and turn the heating on! I don't quite trust my own neighbour to do that but it&#x2

Indeed. USA is gone, got taken over and is now RUSA. The rest of the world can see it. Look at the pain their latest stupid war is inflicting on Europe. Cui bono...

Organic Maps is great for offline. It even did better directions in Europe recently, because Google Maps does not have an "avoid unpaved roads" option. Apple Maps does driving directions way better in general - better visuals, spe

I've just rented one a few days ago! It's not a full-on Nextcloud instance, mind. For example there is no ffmpeg for generating video thumbnails. But liking it so far

You're not wrong. But no SaaS is forever. Price rises, bankruptcies, ToS changes, change of CEO etc. Being acquired by a US company is just one of the things that can happen. For someone like the author, it's not a reason to stay

by gib444 7mo ago
There are reasons other than privacy to move to non-US companies: e.g. not wanting contribute to the US economy and the further expansion of US tech companies. This is my main motivation in fact. So criticisms about these kind of posts and

Not a fan of Mailbox.org. It's Nextcloud for starters. The UX is clunky. They feel a 30 day web app session expiry is perfectly fine. I've gone back to FastMail for the time being I think what I really want is: - FastMail or simil

Vanadium annoyingly has no option to automatically delete history nor always use Incognito. It's one of the reminders that the project's main focus is security, not privacy. The workaround to drag a shortcut to the New Incognito T

For non-Windows devs (from ChatGPT): - Win32: The original Windows API (since the 90s). Still widely used. - MFC: Old C++ wrapper around Win32. Ancient, but still maintained. - WPF: .NET desktop UI framework (XAML-based). Still very relevan

Well at least you can set a custom search engine URL – oh no, you can't, that would probably endanger some children or something !!

Sure, with those over-corrected "’" apostrophes. "I’m so English I’m a fucking stereotype" is such a contorted sentence. "The UK has problems, but it's not very useful to throw all of these cases together to ma

I neither argued that the 2011 riots were protest nor that setting fire to a community library is justified. Are there any strawmen left or did you buy them all? Jesus "Are you seriously arguing...?" style of discussion belongs to

Again, dragging up the past. Fine, let's exclude 2020. 2021-2022 was more of a turning point. Your comment doesn't refute my point, a point which does refute the point I was replying to.

Presumably the 2011 riots: a college student with no criminal record was jailed for six months for stealing a £3.50 case of bottled water [0] Or perhaps our current Home Sec in 2014 declaring "Rioters face years in prison as Home Secre

Rapid charging in the UK is mostly way more expensive than gas (petrol) at around 89p per kWh. I imagine with Iran etc that could push over £1 soon!
