Something something, the real magic was the… firearm-some-person-bought along the way…?

OSM is just pronounced open street map or as an acronym- O.S.M.

The tilde isn’t from OSM, it’s from OsmAnd (the navigation app), and I thing it’s used to communicate whether you’re running the version from f-droid, or the play store version? I agree that’s confusing and makes for an awkward name though

Ahhh, okay, I understand what you meant now.

Thank you for clarifying :)

Also I swear to god, you ask a single question because you don’t follow what someone meant, and everyone decides the person you’re asking is doing wrong somehow and starts downvoting them. We really gotta figure our shit out

Thank you!!

Just to clarify, OSM is the acronym for Open Street Map, which is just the map/database

OsmAND, comaps, and organicmaps are all apps/clients that use OSM as their source of map data, and add gps navigation functionality

Comaps was forked recently cause there were some issues with organic maps being run in kind of a crummy way that wasn’t in line with the community, if I understand right. But I’m sure someone more knowledgeable could elaborate better

I dunno if this clarification was needed or helpful but I figured I’d add it in case it’s of help :)

I like the organic maps UI, and I have liked the OsmAND functionality, but I’m still working on transitioning away from google maps so I have limited perspective. I do know there’s an app that wraps the google maps website so you can use it without google servicesor whatever and potentially less risk of tracking, and that may be of use depending on your needs!

I’m not sure I follow- has Ubuntu had issues with their stance on diversity before? If I understand right this forum was only recently made official and they hadn’t carefully enough reviewed the pre-existing rules

I’ve rarely read a more fitting comment lol

Thanks for cross posting, I’m kinda in a rush but wanted folks to see the update :)

This image makes me so happy lol

Thank you for the link and for filling me in!

Everything continues to be bad 🙃

Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Thats beautiful, thank you 🥹🥲

I’d like to petition that more businesses just use their letterboard signage for dumb dad jokes

Neat! Is there still that rule that everything has to use WebKit under the hood? I’m curious if one could also use firefox extensions on ios. I assume firefox has an iOS app but I guess now that I think about it, I’m not actually sure… 😅

While that is a fair counterpoint, it does feel like there’s a difference between being prosecuted for like real estate fraud or whatever in one of the most left leaning states, and what’s currently happening with Bolsonaro.

If we get to a point where trump tries to steal an election, fails, and is actually facing extremely serious federal consequences, I would expect we would see a lot of trump supporters out in the streets.

He didn’t even get held accountable but the fact that he could fail at stealing the election in 2020 was enough to produce jan 6th, and I imagine jan 6th and how it blew up and (temporarily) got a lot of folks in legal trouble, blew off a lot of the steam and confidence needed for a bigger showing in response to the legal trouble trump almost kinda sorta got in.

I don’t think the way things are playing out in Brazil is terribly surprising.

I mean if Donald trump was being prosecuted and it seemed like he’d actually face legal consequences, he’d still have tons of people who support him in the US.

Cults of personality who use the support they’ve built to game the political system and try to uproot democracy do so through their ability to build support.

I’d wager he only got to the point where he could try to game the election because he had the ability to build so much support and was successful in doing so.

Yeah that’s the other really big issue. Mastodon and Lemmy can be donation run but hosting and streaming video is expensive as fuck

Yeah, I watch tons of youtube myself and am currently working on cutting back.

Better content algorithms or discovery would help so damn much as a start though, it’s really hard to find anything worth watching in the sea of “technically this is a video you can watch cause someone uploaded it to the internet”. Thats why I like the Peertube comm on lemmy. Its mostly the same creators but its at least some curated exposure to what’s available

Yeah, I broadly agree with you. The platforms we’re on play such a huge role in the dysfunction the western world is experiencing

with CEO’s who have been granted military ranks

Is that a thing that has happened…? I’d expect it would at some point down the road but as an American I wasn’t aware that had already happened… 😅

Lol, that’s okay, it’s very much to my own preference, and it’s a lot less overstimulating when you’re the one who placed everything and labored over every little corner. A lot of it is designed to help me stay on top of managing my sleep disorder

Styling-wise it’s inspired by the in-show ui elements from cowboy bebop, and some typography from ghost in the shell
