I just wish they updated OSM data quicker; I’ve done updates that still aren’t represented.

If you’re on Android (not sure if iOS has an equivalent app), one of the easiest things you can do is download Street Complete and take 15 minutes a day to use it in order to fill in information about your neighborhood.

Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.

If media companies make it impossible to buy and own content, then pirating is not unethical.

I think I was about 16 1/2? We did night time (?) Drivers Ed classes in my high school with my geography or history teacher (he was awesome) and then we had road experience with a local drivers ed instructor.

I remember when it came time to do the road test, he actually took us through the actual course first so we were prepared and then during the actual test I got “warned” about being a little too far into the road turning at an intersection to go back to the RMV but the instructor I had backed me up because I had to go due to the other person turning the other way so I could see around him.

Honestly, nothing wrong with not having a license. I hate driving, to be honest. If you can get places without cars (or at least without driving your own, more power!)

So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.

Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.

Lawnchair Nightly; it’s not as good as Nova, yet, but it’s getting there.

Happily.

You could always just install Linux Mint and then install the Mint XP theme. No Microsoft Account required.

Correction; a tomato pie with pineapple.

I basically moved to Linux Mint from Windows myself back in March so this is everything I’ve learned since then. Auto update and auto backup (using Timeshift and Update Manager) are pretty straight forward since they’re all options in the GUI. Clamtk comes from me using Clamav on Windows for the longest time and most of the packages were found right in the GUI for the Software Manager.

For most users whose main computing habits are browsing the internet, word processing (desktop or Google Docs), or email, you’ll rarely have to touch a terminal.

I set up my mom’s laptop with clamtk (set to auto update definitions), auto backup, and auto update and she generally uses it the same as Windows.

To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

Please don’t associate Linux with a close-source proprietary neutered web browser owned by an ad company.
