I love the little cultural differences here. In the US, our old traditional saying of "grab 'em by the pussy" means you're fit to be president. But I guess other countries interpret this as sexual harassment. 🤷 😭
at least a few will pause and realize, “Wait, other countries have higher standards...”
Nice thought, but too generous. If you're not England, France, or maybe Germany, then we consider you a third world country. (Incorrectly!)
If anything, this will piss them off more: "How dare these third world countries reject the world's best food?!"
Everyone says they’d love having a small phone, then buy something else when it’s time to spend money.
I own a Palm Phone, a Unihertz Jelly, an iPhone 13 Mini, a Light Phone 2. Although, from that line up only the iPhone 13 Mini is viable. The rest of the phones come with other issues...
I also don't have heavy phone usage, so battery life isn't really a problem for me.
For example... I could play the sound of an eagle and that could be telling your Eco or Google Home device to unlock your doors.
Oh, damn! Cool!
In the digital age, you still have to talk with humans. What did my coworker tell me again? The wheels need to be torqued to 150 Nm or ftlb or lbft? Shoot. He's busy helping other customers now... uhh... I'll just wing it.
I recently brought over some ideas from VanillaOS over to my Arch install.
- Install as much as possible via flatpak
- Install a bunch of other stuff in distrobox (with podman backend)
That gives me like 50% (idk fake number) of the features from VanillaOS, but I get to keep control over my system.
Not that I ever had any problems with native pacman installs though... so... not sure how much benefit I'm really getting from doing this. I guess my pacman -Syu command runs faster now. That's something...
How often does Organic Maps pull map updates from OpenStreetMap? Can I manually trigger the update or do I have to wait? Does the update happen automatically or do I have to delete the current map data I have and then redownload it?
I've been messing around with Magic Earth and Organic Maps recently.
I immediately noticed that when I type a home address in Magic Earth, the app can take me to the exact house on the block.
However, when I type the same home address in Organic Maps, the app can only take me to the street where the house is. It can find the exact house.
Why is this the case? I thought both Magic Earth and Organic Maps used the same map data behind the scenes...
I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.
Does anyone have any shoutouts for their preferred tax preparation software?
Is the DM button called "Privately mention"? Or is that something else?
Currently, my email is hosted at Migadu. The email hosting is fine. However, they don't seem to offer strong *DAV support. They don't really advertise it and the little documentation they have says "we offer basic calendar support. Please be aware this is a beta feature and some functionalities are missing".
Is there such a thing as a DAV provider, like email provider, but only for WebDAV, CardDAV, and CalDAV?
Or is the answer just to self host Radicale or sabre?
It seems like if I want better DAV support, I'd have to switch email providers... which is kinda annoying.
I still keep my contacts and calendars on Google because it seems the most stable. I don't care about having the maximum possible privacy, I just care about not losing the data.
Someone told me about etesync, but I didn't like it because it's not DAV and you have to use their client apps.
I'm really surprised that most companies have standardized on DAV for contacts and calendars. That seems great because (theoretically) I can use any client.
