I'd like to point out that it only "gets pulled in" if the data is actually made available by the government, and there are dedicated volunteers who work on getting the data, massaging it into the right format and importing

The seemingly duplicate data on crossing is because there are different "parts" of the crossing, intended for different users. There is the path across the road, usually from one sidewalk to the opposite, which is meant for pedest

Can you give examples of what you consider "nasty attitude" on their part? All criticism of other project I've seen was either cold, clinical technical criticism, or defense against slander propagated in the media against Gra

That, not being sure if the submitter is willing to meet you part way, is exactly the miserable part I am talking about. Basically, you go in risking it's just a waste of your time. After some trust is established, or when the PR is fr

No, reviewing PRs in general is a delightful process. The tedious part is in the initial triage when the PR comes from a previously unknown submitter, and you cannot be sure what is the intention of the submitter, what is their technical le

For a model that claims to focus on many languages, it's quite unreliable when it comes to simple questions like "how to say X in language Y" or "how to conjugate verb X in language Y". It keeps hallucinating words

And yet, oodles of people continue to happily use it every day. From what I've seen, it's only the assholes who get booted out of everywhere they go.

If you actually take the time to look for posts and communities about things you care about, you'll find more than enough of interesting people. It's just that there is no algorithm to feed you content, you have to be active in lo

There are many, many such great communities hidden all around the Internet - on half-abandoned forums, IRC channels, even Matrix rooms. One just has to wade outside the mainstream fascist asocial networks, and look for niche topics.

Getting tired of complaints about trump means what he's doing and who he is is being normalized, bit by bit. Don't get tired, get angrier.

I think you're being too optimistic about your fellow humans' judgement. "Death by GPS" is a quite common occurrence: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13550...

Translation: we're hoping for an acqui-hire from some rich company, and will opensource this thing if it flops.

One possible purpose is marketing. Owners of the botnet are merely demoing the capabilities for prospective customers.

I tried it on my tablet last month, and it's pretty unplayable. The touchscreen input needs a lot of work, half the time it does something completely wrong and random, like selecting a tile halfway across the screen from where you touc

I was shaking my head in disbelief when reading that part too. I mean, git's whole raison d'etre, back when it was introduced, was that you do not need online access to the repo server most of the time.

We all know it would end up just as rigged and as useless as Google's Play Integrity system for Android phones.

That is exactly what civilization is about - for new generations to start not from scratch, but from some baseline their parents achieved (accumulated knowledge and culture). This allows new generations to push forward instead of retreading

Did you thank your keyboard for letting you type this comment?

Sure, but I was only responding to the reservation you expressed about Pixel: "I don't like the Pixel and deep integration with Google."

by pferde 7mo ago
Pixel's "deep integration with Google" is in the OS, so if you replace the OS with GrapheneOS, there is no deep integration anymore.

The misspelling of "GrapehenOS" in the tags below the article does not bode well for Motorola... :)

I've had a Motorola smartphone for four years before moving on to a Pixel with GrapheneOS and was mostly satisfied with it, so this announcement sounds rather good to me. Can't wait for the product(s)!

Ok, call it a "special military operation" if you want. A war by any other name would smell just as bad. And what is Congress - or any other part of the US government - going to do about the pedophile not following rules? Stop him

Wow, this comment is so bigoted and xenophobic, I don't even know where to begin. First of all, we're far from being "overrun by muslims". And equating following Islamic faith with being supportive of Khomenei's reg

Start fixing it in Openstreetmap yourself, or even better, get in touch with active OSM mappers in Utah, and talk to them about this. OsmAnd merely makes use of the data from OSM.

Spell check is fine - highlight misspelled words, offer corrections when asked. What's incredibly harmful is autocorrect, as it slowly but surely causes vast majority of computer users to become partly illiterate. And nobody gives a da
