Very true about the Wayland vs X11 knowledge. I didn’t learn about that until quite a while after startint to use Mint. Even know I don’t really umderstand what it does (something rendering and windows?), it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference in day to day use anyways.
It is indeed an app for using openstreetmap
A nice thing about StreetComplete is that you can choose what kind of ‘quests’ you want to do. Whether that’s looking for store opening times or what kind of curb a pedestrian crossing has is up to you!
Personally I think it’s great that you can add so much more info to the map tham Google ever will. I like contributing to a map that helps society, e.g. by adding accessibility information.
The big downside of StreetComplete is that it’s not made for adding new things to the map. It only asks for more detailed information about locations it already knows about.
In a way I’m glad that at first the words matched the deeds even though they’re backpedalling now. Many people needed to hear those words to understand what it’s really like.
It seems to me that the main issue is that it’s hard to figure out how to vote in the elections you are eligible for.
The author states that he couldn’t vote [in the national elections] a single time when he lived in The Netherlands for 13 years, plenty of time to gain the nationality. Apparently there was no intention to immerse themselves so deeply in Dutch society while still wanting to have a say about what happens in said society…
I’m of the opinion that they’re right that it’s too hard to register for voting and figuring out all the different systems when moving. This should be more unified and simplified accross the EU. I also think it should be much easier for EU citizens to change nationality when moving to another EU country. However, we cannot ignore that the EU is not a federation, it consists of separate nations and nationality is much more than just a registration of where you live.
Why?
Not trying to be an ass, just curious about your reasoning
Ah yes, ‘best technologies in the world’ like the software giving Google and the USA full access to all our data?
That’s good to know!
No no no no, money laundering, what are you talking about? Trump is obviously a great businessman who saw an amazing opportunity. A consistent businessman like him who has even had business in the notoriously difficult casino world wouldn’t miss out on this.
You’re only missing content if your instance defederates from another and vice versa or if you block instances yourself.
It might be a bit easier to find new communities at first by scrolling through the local feed on a bigger community, but you can also do this without making an account there.
I think stability and speed of an instance are better selection criteria since they effect your experience much more. Piefed instances tend to offer a smooth and fast experience. E.g. piefed.social, piefed.zip, and the others mentioned in one of the other comments.
Russia’s economy might be spiraling downward, but it seems to be a rather slow spiral so far. Let’s see what happens when Ukraine launches the next wave of attacks on oil refineries.
I had been wondering why there was no laser based air defence yet, it seems like the perfect system that doesn’t take from their always too small stockpile of air defence munitions. I guess we’ll have to see if it’s actually effetive on the battlefield and if it can take down big drones (shahed) and missiles down as well.
They’re still making a lot of money from it. Limiting those exports even further would be great.
The article says that it only applies to employees with access to sensitive data. I don’t know what fraction of employees does or does not have access to such data.
Not one or two, but seven are deemed a security threat…
I am amazed that the fight over Pokrovsk still continues, how has it not completely fallen yet?
From my understanding, most LLMs work by repeatedly putting the processing output back into the input until the result is good enough. This means that in many ways the input and the output are the same thing from the perspective of the LLM and therefore inseparable.
It would be hilarious to see Trump on skis though, or in pretty much all other olympic disciplines. ‘Old man tries not to die on ice’ is a show I might watch.
Wdym with the hype? Stuff like no more aging and solving word hunger?
Do I understand it right that when it comes down to it, this is a different implementation of the same thing (rendering)? I assume that this is mostly relevant for software engineers and that the end user only notices some differences in speed, if at all?
