People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are
  • Your example with the buses is wrong. There is a standard called GTFS and public transport companies publish their fleet status and timetable according to this standard, Google just reads and displays this data. Nowadays you should see the same data in the official apps and gmaps. There are even foss solutions displaying the same thing like transportr.app

    You can browse this data worldwide on https://www.transit.land

  • Oculus PC app setup crashes before launching, making installation impossible
  • From the first message it sounds like it tries to load some image before it collapses. Do you have some strange color correction, monitor settings, night light? Multiple or external gpus? Variable or 60+ framerate?

    Update your gpu drivers, unplug all monitors except the main one, reset any graphic related windows and driver settings youchanged to default.

  • Life during first half of 2024 (not mine) - Do people here track things in a similar way?
  • I track some of my habits, and I have an illness which symptoms show up between 1 month and a year frequency and I used to forgot when it was the last time. I also track my shaving habits, but it's not as frequent as OP:)

    I use Loop Habit Tracker, it's foss and on fdroid:

    Some years ago I tracked my weight, but it was too depressing, so I stopped. There is also a good foss app for that, Waistline: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.waist.line/

    Panoramax on Android/iOS
  • This also blurs faces and registration plates, e.g. see this random image

    You can already check manually uploaded images on one of the servers:

    In the docs they have a nice image showing how components work, the blur API does this work on the server:

    Documentation is here: https://panoramax.gitlab.io/gitlab-profile/

    Full source code is on Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/panoramax

    It's developed in France, so GDPR applies to everything, EU rules are not a second thought. A main contributor and supporter is IGN (National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information) a French government institution. https://www.ign.fr/institut/identity-card

    Tldr: Google streetview for OpenStreetMap.

    We had similar services before, but Mapillary was bought by Facebook, Kartaview/OpenStreetCam is slow as hell andeven the client's source changed to proprietary at one point. Mapilio is similar but also closed source.

    This finally aligns with the goals of the community, not another quick startup, you can install it on your server.

  • bookmark manager like jabref for linux?
  • I use wallabag. There is paid hosted version, but you can install it on your server. You can tag, star and mark read/unread your bookmarks. There is a webapp, browser extensions, mobile apps for all platforms, and apps for ebook readers.

  • Chromium based browser for armeabi-v7a
  • FFUpdater supports Android 5+: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/ You can install a lot of browsers from there, maybe one of them supports this phone: https://github.com/Tobi823/ffupdater

    Also check slimsocial, it's a facebook client, supports Android 4.4+ and it lists arm7 support: https://f-droid.org/hu/packages/it.rignanese.leo.slimfacebook/

    And new Chinese phones (Redmi, HMD, etc) are really cheap, they are good as a backup smartphone. I know it sounds terrible, but you can't really do anything with planned obsolescence. Our time is short on this planet, waiting for websites on old hardware simply doesn't worth it, you should spend this time on more important things.

  • Meta is connecting Threads more deeply with the fediverse
  • I see, so all instance admins can see that theoretically, but regular users can't. I don't remember where I read what I wrote, can't find it now.

    It's a bit misleading that lemmy developers themself call votes "essentially anonymous" like in this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4088

    With this in mind I will go back to upvote memes with my other accounts, and switch between them more regularly.

  • Meta is connecting Threads more deeply with the fediverse
  • Afaik on lemmy only your host instance knows what you upvote/downvote, instances just sync the number of upvotes, not the users who voted. So they cannot analyze that, even if they spin up a their own lemmy instance l was wrong, see reply

    Comments are 100% public though, that's true

    Big Wind - The most powerful fire engine of the world: 2 MIG-21 jet engines mounted on a T-34 tank base

    It's for extinguishing oil well fires, owned and developed by MOL, the Hungarian oil conglomerate. It was used in Kuwait after the Kuwait-Iraq war, here is a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyGDxglTVgA

    It's still in use and maintained, the base was replaced with newer tank recently, as it was hard to find replacement parts for such an old model.

    Video from some years ago, timestamped, there is a lot of Hungarian narration before that point: https://youtu.be/YYF8YQ7pLng?feature=shared&t=494

    Good article in English about this beast, with a lot more images: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/a-firefighter-s-dream-meet-big-wind-a-tank-with-jet-engines-that-s-a-fire-truck-185011.html#

    How do you tag bus lanes?

    I use psv:lanes, but there are no real bus lanes here, it's called buslane, but law says taxis can also use it.

    Default makepkg.conf options changed with pacman 6.0.2-9, so now every package built from AUR also builds and installs its debugging symbols

    MR: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/merge_requests/1

    An issue: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/issues/91

    To find your already installed debug packages: pacman -Q | grep -e '-debug '

    This debug packages usually huge, I noticed this accidentally, and I haven't found a news about this on archlinux.org

    To solve this add a ! before debug on line 97 in /etc/makepkg.conf
