Same. I've read that this is because that part of your brain isn't functioning or something. I have no source. Just "I think I heard this once."
Yeah I contribute to OSM but apps like OsmAnd are a far cry in features from Google Maps. The paths are very much not optimized. If I tell it to go back to my hometown it takes me about 15 minutes out of the way. And I can't tell it to go to a certain house because the houses aren't mapped yet.
Should I help map them? Yes. But for your average user that's not going to work.
Most people have already pointed it out, but I must say, I don't recall the last time I ordered pizza and didn't use a coupon.
I met a man from France who said that the French spoken in Montréal is "real French." I was pretty shocked to hear that.
Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes...and that's when your mom didn't kick you off the internet so she could make a call.

We had an IT person quit this year because we transitioned to fully remote after they closed down the office in December 2020. He couldn't handle working from home.
I've read plausible explanations that when your company is a meme stock, you need the thing that makes it a meme to stay around lest the price fall to reasonable levels dictated by market demand.
In other words they gotta give him the money or else the fanbois will stop pumping up the price.
The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person's recovery email...which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person's iCloud. None of the person's emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn't use a recovery email so that your login can't be tied back to you.
As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support... and also because I can't have many calendars on the free plan.
It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.
It will come down to the laws in your country and how much money you plan to spend on lawyers if your employer wants to force the issue.
Not sure it's just anti-Biden but people do need to understand on matters like this, they need to mentally apply an asterisk that says "subject to approval by Congress."
I'm learning French so I'm not the best person to ask.
My recollection is that this was something Evan Prodromou (an inventor of ActivityPub) was looking into. There does not seem to be a federated alternative.
Taco Bell most likely.
Ahh Bill Maher is not a liberal comedian. He's really not either of these things.
After five months of Israel carrying out heightened attacks against Gaza, the U.S. military has expressed they are doing everything in their power to save Gazan civilians from the current humanitarian crisis caused by the weapons sent by the U.S. military. During his State of the Union addre
Not the Onion, but still great satire.
A transgender candidate for the Ohio House has been disqualified because she only circulated petitions with her legal name, instead of her former name — and it has put multiple other LGBTQ+ candidates in flux.
Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all.
Apparently other trans candidates had their petitions accepted with no problem.
The Ohio Senate passed a bill Wednesday with various modifications to the state’s marijuana law.
Looks like the Senate bill has gotten better. There is some good and some bad. They're cutting back on home grow and max potency for extracts. They're expunging all convictions on possession of 2.5oz or less, and I think most importantly, allowing people to buy from medical dispensaries for recreational use. Right now, it's legal to possess, but illegal to sell. This should fix that loophole.
