I finally switched to duck duck go, not because of the AI push of google, but because of the constant nagging popups to download the google app. Just let me google things in mobile safari in peace!

When will they introduce GitHub for Business?

Truly a great library. I have become so reliant on it, because I can basically have a guarantee that some complex process will run eventually, instead of manually catching and handling every error that might happen and write the 50th retry

Everybody who cares about music will immediately turn off recommended music with AI. Of course they're not transparent about it.

I agree that this is the ideal solution, but you can't exactly retrofit a place you rent with completely new plumbing.

Think about having one plane (the entire glass) pressing 2 microswitches. Debouncing one switch is hard enough, now you've got to debounce 2, and detect if the user was doing a really fast double click, or just pressed in the center of

I still want some app that makes the awesome brouter algorithm usable on iOS. They have an android app which is "easy" to do since the routing module is written in Java, but alas, iOS doesn't support Java. IMO, brouter genera

Then I'm afraid it's not possible. The reason the input switch takes so long is because of the HDID negotiation. A video mixer acts as the source and sink for the output and the inputs respectively, where a HDMI switch will just p

A video mixer a-la Blackmagic ATEM Mini will do this. Maybe there are cheaper options if it's just being used for input switching.

You can't tell me they are on the same level. I'm infuriated just reading all the issues people have with this experian service.

Thanks, but I'm really happy with our vector tileset solution, and don't want to downgrade to raster tiles. They are pretty slow compared to vector tiles with mapbox/maplibre gl.
16.
by narrowtux 4y ago
That is usually out of the question, because raster tiles don't allow you to customize the map (colors, which features to display at which zoom levels, etc). I find openstreetmap way too busy as a backdrop for data. As I've said,

There are lots of usecases for apps that don't need these advanced features, and just want a nice backdrop for their geo data. The current offerings of google, mapbox, bing, etc are prohibitively expensive when you just need a small su

Open your eyes and look at the "one size fits all" solution that we have today. Cars upon cars upon cars. Alternatives such as public transport, walking and cycling have always been gimped in favour of car traffic, lest the car dr

Nobody is talking about taking away cars from people who live outside of cities. Yet this argument always comes up when problems with cars in densely populated areas are discussed.

Yea, I wouldn't have a problem with that regulation if it would be applied to only these critical areas. But it seems that they want to apply this directive to all software that's sold in the EU. To be fair, I haven't read th

I'm so tired of it all. Countless times it has been tried to enact laws like this. And it's not just this surveillance law that depresses me, reading up on the cyber resilience act just feels to me like it will suck even more fun

If you were a big corporation who doesn't want to buy a license but speed up dev time, couldn't you just let your devs use mold for development to have faster recompilation cycles, but link the official binaries with some other, s

Honestly I wish there were mail, calendar and contact apps for other systems, as good as apples with solid webdav/caldav support. Thunderbird is kind of lacking in all aspects.

This is slightly off-topic, but reading your responses on this thread just rub me the wrong way. You're acting like you're entitled for open-source devs to support you and value your contributions for the sole reason that they mig

Right now the "Alte Elbtunnel" is undergoing maintenance in one of the two tunnels. Since as long as I've lived here, it hasn't been open to cars, but the large elevators previously used for cars are still serving bicycl
