  • Are there any mapping apps thats not google maps that has traffic data? I haven’t looked in a while, but last time I did it was a ‘no’ and I’m just shocked this hasn’t really been solved. Either by highjacking google maps data, or using local news data to fill in areas of maps with heavy traffic etc. There’s gotta be some way to solve this.

    Like I get it, projects can’t just wholesale use google maps data, they’ll get shut down, but there’s no side loaded plugin you can load to use Google’s traffic data and the project just kind of winks in their github page and says ‘we don’t encourage anyone to use this plugin…’?


  • sigh the naming of these projects… I know if you’ve been paying attention to development projects then the similarities in naming helps you, you can assume 1 project was forked from another and vaguely already know what the project does, is used for, etc. But for nontechnical newbies I’m sure its confusing as hell having like 4 products all named similarly and you have no idea why or what the difference is and which one to choose.

    Anyway, thanks for spelling it out, for anyone confused.



  • You seem to know about flatpak so I thought i’d ask this question here, since I couldn’t find much searching online. I’m messing around with postmarketos (which is alpine Linux based and using wayland) at the moment on an old phone, and installed a flatpak version of Joplin. Problem is I can’t get the onscreen keyboard to be triggered when an input field has focus. Any tips to fix this? I’m not sure if its a problem with my set up, or how the flatpak was prepared. So not sure what to do to fix it.









  • Get back to us when your health insurance company kicks you off your plan because your car has been reporting that you’ve been going to the bar 4 nights a week.

    Or when your wife starts getting ads when connected to your home network for strippers and strip clubs because you parked the car near a strip club 1 time.

    Or when your car starts suspiciously routing you through weird routes on maps, that take you close to the local fast food joints because Taco Bell/KFC paid them advertising money.

    “But none of that happens right now!”

    That’s not the point. The point is, it could.
