If you want a map swiss army knife, OsmAnd is very very good. If you don't, then yeah it's way too complex for what should be basic tasks. And developers refuse to do stuff like allow US-style address order search (requiring reverse order only)
OM now works with the screen off and I'll be making the voice instructions better than OsmAnd very shortly just fyi
Apparently it's not super great? I haven't noticed https://lemmy.ca/post/3532299
Oh I agree. I'm saying some people really like the status quo, even if it's broken.
That leads straight to open conflict and a reorganization of the status quo though. Some people really like the status quo even if it means keeping the human meat grinder turned on.
I do not and would never pretend like other governments act in good faith: two things can be bad at the same time without whataboutism. Have a great weekend, comrade!
I'm saying if you go all the way back to who looked at who wrong in the lunch line in 1963, you can try to justify anyone invading anyone else's homes with tanks and missiles, but that doesn't make it an actual valid justification. Generally the party that "starts a war" is the one that rolls their tanks first.
Apologists always want to go back to who really threw the first stone, as if Russia has been a great world citizen this whole time and as if imperialist invasion was a great way to reduce sanctions or increase economic cooperation
It's when records begin
If you can't feel your hand heating up if you hold it near the oven and sensors or thermometer strips don't register any temperature increase outside the oven when it's on then nothing substantial is escaping. The amount of 2.4ghz energy required for indoor communication is on the order of tenths or hundredths of a watt, whereas the amount of energy required to cook food is on the order of 1000 watts. So you're talking about a 10,000-100,000-fold difference in magnitude.
For non-ionizing EM radiation like radio waves and normal light (as opposed to ionizing radiation that can cause cancer by knocking bits off your DNA like UV rays and X rays) the danger is in, essentially, cooking your flesh. For radio professionals determining if a microwave antenna or cell phone is safe for your body, we calculate watts per square centimeter, in other words how much electrical energy is delivered to your skin's surface. When a radio professional messes up and gets exposed to dangerous levels of energy, they experience it as feeling very warm or burning, and may suffer symptoms similar to a sunburn or, worst case, like putting a body part in a microwave oven.
Also because of how rays of energy work mathematically against surfaces, every foot you stand away will exponentially decrease the amount of energy you'd possibly receive: standing 6 feet away will give you 2.8% the dose versus standing 1 foot away. So even if you have a dangerously defective oven, just don't hang out with your face pressed to the glass and you'll have much bigger things to worry about in life.
TLDR: there's no voodoo scariness behind microwaves, just try to make sure they're not warming you up and cooking you, especially for extended periods of time. You'd probably notice if they were.
The main hazard of putting an electronic device in a microwave is that it heats up and catches fire or ruins your food.
General Motors, Firestone Tire, Standard Oil, and Phillips Petroleum were convicted of an actual conspiracy related to the monopolization of transit systems, which replaced beloved streetcar (rail) systems with rubber-tired oil-burning buses.

Yeah I'd really hope that the upgrades pave the way for even higher potential speeds, like if the limiting factor is now old Amtrak trainsets instead of the rail itself. Or if a new line means less delays. 20 minutes out of 5 hours is really not much.
We're here to support you in your journey to sobriety, brother!
I'm a Linux developer who's made Electron apps, I have complete and total understanding of everything you're saying. You don't seem to be understanding the thing we're saying, which is that if you really really need a specific Microsoft or Adobe product, your best option is still Windows or Mac since Wine isn't very good. This is a fault of those corporations, not technology.
That's exactly what he said, and then he also said except for industry-specific software like video editing, graphic design, etc, where big companies don't offer a Linux version and the alternatives aren't quite up to par. It's true there's Offcie 365 online but it's still subpar compared to the real deal, like if you're a PowerPoint or Excel power user or really need Access or another specialized program.
I'm all for Linux, these big companies have just eaten a lot of the market and refuse to play nice.
I'm happy to help, I've been a reddit and FB mod for years and am doing my best to be active here.
Which recommended general instances have lemmygrad blocked?
I can see your post from here so you're not being too heavily blocked. Some people maybe just have a kneejerk reaction to communist imagery/mentality (maybe bad experiences in various countries' history, etc)
But when "real estate investors" buy up all available properties and raise the prices that's just sacred free market competition, right?
Almost like in a totally free market your right to collect profit is balanced by my right to find ways to not spend my money 🤔
