  • I recently switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps in an effort to de-google, but this seems like an even better alternative.

    Does it work with CarPlay?

    EDIT: It looks like it does.

    I got mad at my iPhone yesterday because I asked Siri to navigate home using Apple Maps, and it said that I hadn’t shared my location with Siri so that wasn’t possible. No… I shared my location with Apple Maps, open the app and have it navigate home. If you’re not going to allow me to use native iPhone features with Apple Maps, I’ll just use something else.



  • You are 100% correct.

    Look at OPs meme and ask the obvious question: “Why is this moving to the right, and not to the left? Aren’t both options equally possible?”

    The answer is that it moves to the side that wins elections.

    “Why is the right winning elections” is the much much better question to ask. In the meantime, do everything you can to move the center in the other direction one step at a time, and that doesn’t come about by losing elections while standing on principle.


  • I experience this way too much. I have a nostaligia for when all of the problems I had with computers (broadly) were because I did something wrong… not because the computer is trying to fix something or guess something or anticipate something. Just let me type.

    Yesterday, I typed out the letters of a word I wanted, and after typing a second word, I saw my iPhone “correct” the first word I typed to something else entirely. NO. Stop assuming I made a mistake. You cause more problems than you solve.
