The answer is still yes. Your posts go out to the fediverse and comments come in from the fediverse.

Its unfortunately true. I'm not sure how to get more engagement from businesses and municipalities, but if they got involved to maintain their locations then it would be a great help. Just have to make it attractive enough in terms of tourism and money. Or just easy enough. Like a POI database that would update entries across many of the map platforms at once. No idea how feasible that is, but I'm sure business owners would love to have one simple tool to update their data rather than 10.

Just remember that these community efforts are only maintained by the community. If the data is inaccurate then the area needs more help.

As Darth Vader said, you have to be the change you want to see in the world.

If you appreciate OpenStreetMaps then check out StreetComplete. Its "like" Pokemon Go but for improving maps.

I've been using Magic Earth for a while and it is quite good. Better interface than OsmAnd and Organic, but I keep all three installed.

Fcast seems pretty promising but it looks like it's only implemented in Grayjay thus far.

I've got a handful of Android-based TVs that I'm becoming increasingly irritated with. Google regularly pushes updates that break stuff. I already have Jellyfin and Navidrome running on my network and can play them on the TV without issue. Netflix et al are also no issue, but being able to stream other sources such as YouTube/NewPipe.

I am not a fan of Apple either, so adding to them to the mix is a nonstarter.

This looks exactly like what I'm looking for!

Oh that isn't quite what I was looking for but I've got Home Assistant and Jellyfin already. I'll have to play with this! Thanks!

Pretty sure Immich allows you to act on existing directory structures of images now. The database itself is hardly an issue there.

Unfortunately I don't have the links any more, but I did some research and there are some good privacy-focused apps for this. I recall seeing some with features specifically to prevent unauthorized access and with emergency data shredding functionality. I think I saw one that would cleverly create random realistic data if accessed incorrectly.

Very cool

Really? Like what? I'm not a heavy SMS user.

Funny. I just uninstalled Google Messages a few days ago in favor of QUIK SMS. I miss nothing.

As an Oklahoman, this feels accurate.

How does it compare to HeliBoard?

I like this idea so much. Do the public libraries not have some kind of video service already? Seems like a network of library-powered PeerTube instances would serve that niche really well.

Yeah, I have strongly mixed feelings on this. Perhaps we should intact term limits, but probably not as short as usually proposed and probably paired with something to limit outside influence. The common claim I hear is that with a more junior Congress they would be even more reliant on the parts of "government" that stick around longer, like lobbyists.

Ah. I still have a "gmail" account but it's entirely for the places that require a Google account now.

As for YouTube, I just stumbled across this thread: https://lemmy.zip/post/16741291

I highly recommend looking at something like Proton for 3 and 4. Or backblaze for 4 if it's truly for backup.
