I love how this tries to sell making your code strictly worse as something positive.

Sigh. And it's still full of ifs.

So sorry for your loss. :'(

I'm living here with a very old lady whose sister has left us a bit over a year ago, and I cherish every day I got left with her, but she's also very old. Letting a pet go is always super tough, but I'm so grateful for the time I get wtih them.

Well yeah, but Spotify also does more than Youtube in some ways. Like, have a minimum amount of podcasts on it (I know I know, why not use a separate podcasting app, but for the little podcasts I listen to it's easier having it all in one app that is known to shit like Sonos and stuff), or have bands that aren't well known in the US.

Don't get me wrong, I loathe Spotify, but compared to Youtube's audio side they're a much much better experience. Hence I would usually rate them on-par in what they should cost: With Spotify you get a better experience, with Youtube you also get ad-free videos.

Damn, that's a good building expression of the shit I see at work coding software. 😅

What am I looking at here? Something on a roof?

Exactly. In specific communities it's by far the best discussion platform. And I don't go to a site first discussion second, other way around, so to reddit I go for those.

I would say that if you non-jokingly talk like that, you got bigger issues than any specific gaming sites or which consultants are brought in to work on which game.

I guess personally I'd even be fine with not being asked, though now that you mention it, I'd like to at least know.

But then again, to some extend that's how it works here. My insurance knows about everything, but I need to allow doctors to access or modify my file, and then only portions of it. Like my general doctor can do a lot of stuff, but obviously my dentist can only do dental and radiology stuff.

Nice try, FBI!

I mean to a degree this makes sense. It might very much be medically required to share such data.

How to, for example, prosecute a doctor for quackery if you cannot get access to the cases they worked on? So for oversight, someone overseeing it needs to be able to know drtaiks about the cases, too.

I mean, the thing I work on hada great idea. Use microservices, because we genuinely have a need to independently scale different parts.

Few years down the line and there's an endless list uff services, most with a single instance doing nothing all day, and having memory and CPU overhead of course. And being a nightmare to figure out what code is whereas they all communicate independently.

Both. I use YT on Firefox constantly, and I just explicitly tried again with a swapped user agent, and there's no issues at all, works perfectly as expected. I saw from your other reply that you use a fairly involved and heavily modifying expansion, not just a user agent switcher.

If you try to "harden" your FF, always keep in mind that a large portion of that means absolutely breaking things left and right and center. It might work, but always expect it will not. Because it's just not something anybody would ever test for when creating web pages. So you're running essentially unknown scenarios. It might be interesting input to the extension-author that this breaks, though. It might be something they think they got working. Of course, it could also be that it's "Yeah that happens, it's intentional". But might as well report it to them.

It's a fair bit dated low, but also by far the best of the three IMO.

The second was quite good in a lot of ways but also very obviously super rushed and partially unfinished.

And then the third was just a sad grindathon with a Dragon Age mask pulled over it. Some good ideas again but covered in the worst gameplay of the three.

Yeah I don't know how this is in other countries but over here that can seriously damage your case as the other party can claim your motivation is fame (and hence money), not justice. You generally never do this, and it's one of the things lawyers are very serious and strict about.

Yeah especially if you look on reddit, it's a handful of accounts with a very concerted effort.

Don't get me wrong it's shitty behaviour, but it's also fairly obviously some are getting paid to suddenly do this.

So you don't use Firefox, you mess with Firefox. That's on you then. Devs can't be held responsible for you intentionally breaking things. Only do what you know works.

It works fine?

Yeah, we were also once happy.

And then we started using Jira.

RIP

It's... okay?

In fact no, it's by-far the best Google Maps alternative I've used so far, this clears OsmAnd+ easily. However, it still has quite a way to go. I can see why it's awesome for hiking, but this has some interesting side effects.

For example, I noticed right away that it cannot search for specific places in non-downloaded maps. This might seem like a "duh", but the maps around here seem extremely fine-grained, so I need to first search for the town, then download the map, then search for the street and address, then I can navigate. Oh no wait I cannot, I need to also download maps for all places in-between.

This makes complete sense for hiking, where I'm confined to a - comparatively - small area and want to pre-download this, at all times, always. And also don't really "search" for a specific address to route to beforehand, rather for a general area and then just get the map.

And of course, the quality of navigation is... adventurous. But I expected that, that's just something GMaps has a huge starting advantage at, and this clears what OsmAnd+ does and honestly feels better than Apple Maps, too. Though that's maybe not high praise, as in this area of the world Apple Maps is like getting lost only you use a smartphoen to do it.
Still, it's the second best I've seen. And for an open source app, that's an insane feat.

Hugely impressed, TY OP. Never heard of this before.

And then in the web app, you need to do this complicated hold-LMB-then-select-from-list to select something, making just browsing really difficult.

Or is there a better way of doing that? I lack a good way to just browse Openstreetmap.
