This. It burns too much electricity, wastes too much water and is wrong 70% of the time. Even if its private and offline the problems with it go waaaaay beyond that.

There’s weird things though because they intentionally strip the Canadian language and region options out of AOSP and that causes some odd behaviour. Whenever I switch from my home towers to the ones around Nanaimo I get this odd message saying “Region changed to US, rebooting.” And then the phone reboots.

A couple of times its gone into a complete bootloop and required reflashing because of this.

Also you have to use Australian English as the closest Canadian English.

At least, that’s the e/OS experience on Fairphone 6. Still waiting for a release for postmarket

And then you added 1, right?

…right?

Red Dwarf did this in an Episode as well where the new AI decides he’s not crew and no longer has a subscription to air.

Yep, French’s

This is me, though I figured out a while ago it’s better if I just ignore Daylight Savings.

My inner clock doesn’t “switch”. There’s no change. There’s just half the year where I’m up an hour earlier and forcing myself to bed earlier and it completely fucks my energy cycle.

This is what CB Radios are, and many more people used to have them before cell phones.

People in mountainous areas where a cell phone is useless still do.

These days firing employees when turning a profit is what makes the stock go up.

Use DKMS drivers. They rebuild for the latest kernel as its upgraded. Using precompiled libs is a problem as many vendors dont keep up with the kernel.

Also, consider an OS that isn’t just a Ubuntu variant. Broken kernel upgrades are a thing of the past since our house dumped Ubuntu based distros.

Luanti (Minetest) folks.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.

StreetComplete to help fill in the gaps. GeoShare to translate google/apple maps locations to geocoordinates for OSM, and then adding the place in OSMAnd if you login with the OpenStreetMaps editor plugin. This is how those of us who adopted Google Maps early added so much of their data…

I use OSMAnd and the search is a lot better, not sure what client you are using.

The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn’t pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them

Google maps only ever knew where you were going because Ingress players and Google “local guides” filled in all the data for them.

Update the out of date data. Its not hard and the more people use it the more accurate the places data will be.

Specifically OSMAnd.

AI is opening so many security HOLES. Its not solving shit. AI browsers and MCP connectors are wild west security nightmares. And that’s before you even trust any code these things write.

In my experience, it’s rare in North America for the bathroom or any rooms door to open outward, unless it’s a closet. Most houses are designed with a straight, narrow, central hallway. Any door opening out presents a risk to anyone walking down the hallway, so closets are the exception. Bathrooms usually open out if they are too small to open inward.

However, never have I seen one designed like this. Doors usually are in a spot where nothing can obstruct them, and they are off to the side or end of a room where drawers and people using the room are unlikely to be near, so the likelyhood of a person blocking the door is low, much less a drawer built into the cabinet. This looks like one of those designs where an original two storey house was cut into two units by a do-it-yourselfer that didn’t care about the result because they wouldn’t be the one living in their disaster.
