  • Heh, hadn't seen KDE like this in ages, it's been a while

  • Good and all, but as somebody mentioned on the Masto comments this shouldn't be needed, this is taking an open JSON file and turning it into a proprietary Google-only format so that Organic Maps can import it, that feature should be on the app itself already.

    Also as you're uploading that data to a random website you're effectively doxxing yourself as your important addresses likely will be there, your home, your workplace, etc.

    Edit: Was mistaken and corrected below, the format IS a standard, not proprietary, in addition the author answered in Masto clarifying that all the conversion happens in the browser without uploading anything. That said, i do insist that the app should support uploading in this geojson format, specially since it's what Google Takeout gives you

  • Somebody was suggesting this was deliberately done to bleed Pocketpair out of money and halt development that way, patent cases take years to be solved, and all during this time they have to keep paying lawyers. Nintendo likely has a small army of in-house lawyers so it's no trouble to them, but to their victims it's life-ruining.

  • In that line, is there an open standards, no Google required answer to the Chromecast?

  • Youtube and Amazon/Audible are already having a monopoly there, they're gonna get squashed like a bug

  • Have you seen an XMPP setup these days that doesn't have installed all the extra stuff to allow encryption, voice and a lot of other bells and whistles?

  • Naturists and the topfreedom movement also face these same challenges, all with the same root cause

  • Well, you're on Lemmy, one of a gazillion examples of this working

  • Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it

  • What's the "best practices" for DNS these days besides running your own local service?

  • They bought an ads company AFTER this person took the reins

  • Not customers, users, otherwise they'll start paywalling features

  • We're seeing the fallout from a commercial service used for public interest communication falling in real time with Twitter, so many public service things that depended or still depend on Twitter have outright broke as it turns into raw sewage and people flee it. That should have NEVER been the main communications medium, and now the price is being paid. I understand as i too am in a place where WhatsApp is near-mandatory, but this is something that WILL have bad consequences sooner or later.
