This is stupid. Author wants to ban a platform, because a lot of tools for it are not good, and people doesn’t want to learn. First can be solved by using and writing better email clients. For the second, you can never solve HR problems with IT solutions.

I think everyone reading this post has accidentally messed up when sending an email, right?

I don’t remember any of that, but I remember I called and messaged the wrong “John Smith” in my phonebook and in an instant messenger, because I have similarly named contacts. The platform doesn’t matter, if you are stupid enough you can mess it up anywhere.

The reasoning, that for internal communication there are far better tools is right, but the power of email is that I can send it to anyone.

I use ibus-uniemoji, and I settled with this years ago after trying to find a similar replacement coming from Windows as you.

• https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ibus-uniemoji
• https://github.com/salty-horse/ibus-uniemoji

After install just set up a keyboard shortcut to quickly change between input languages, and you can just type your emojis effortlessly. As it’s an input method it doesn’t matter what DE you use. Demo gif from Github:

Carplay is an apple thing, so they should be speaking about some ios limitation

Maybe Ops Team can help? Does it work if I tag them here? @[email protected]

Yes, anyone can buy access.

And with SS7 they can get even more precise location, and you can’t really hide from that if you want to use a phone with a phone number, what is the point. This is an interesting way of attack, noone really thought about this before, but it’s not “oh-my-god everyone can be tracked via signal”. I guess the closest server doesn’t even selected via geographical distance, but much more depends on network infrastructure of your location, so Google Maps API can’t really help here.

And again any VPN could defend against this, so if you want to hide which country you are in currently, it should be the 0th step to use a VPN.

Was posted yesterday to a lot of communities, it’s very clickbait:

allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius

So it’s a bit rough… In Europe it means basically which country the target is in. Also cloudflare servers are not evenly distributed in the world, so resolution can differ wildly worldwide.

With a vulnerable app installed on a target’s phone

So it’s not really zero click.

Sounds interesting though, nice writeup, but not as scary as it sounds from the title.

You have to selfhost bibliogram, working for me, I usually get rate limited but get all updates once or twice a week.

There is a facebook bridge in rss bridge, for a long time it worked, I don’t follow its development nowadays, maybe someone with some php knowledge can resurrect it.

With bibliogram you can follow instagram pages in rss: https://sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram/

See it yourself, this is the gulf relation: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9326283

It has more than 90 names, on different languages. As I can see the default name key without a language subkey is the same as name:ar which is the Arabic name, so that’s the “default”. There is also an alt_name:ar as “alternative name” and google translate says it means “Gulf of Basra” which should be coming from the city of Basra, in Iraq (OSM).

In Persian the same 2 keys exist. The default name:fa translates to Persian Gulf, the alt_name:fa is Arabian Gulf

It’s important to note that the language independent name tag is not used the same way everywhere. E.g. here they use the Arabic name, but for example for the Danube river this default is “Danube” in English, while for example this section where it’s the border between Slovakia and Hungary its name is “Dunaj / Duna”, containing names in both languages. Similar here, but Romanian and Bulgarian names “Dunav/Dunărea”: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/42369355

This tagging scheme is also common for example in Alto Adige/Südtirol (OSM) a region of Italy where 70% of the population is native German speaker, they add both names, and you can see this on the default Mapnik layer on openstreetmap.org

OpenStreetMap is a database, and the map you see on openstreetmap.org is just one renderer, a lot others exist. If you want to see everything rendered in another language you can use for example on Wikimedia Maps, in this url just change the language code at the end to something else, e.g. this is in German: https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=de This is in Italian: https://maps.wikimedia.org/?lang=it

I tried that recently. I didn’t like that it doesn’t have a widget, and the downloads and current playlist are completely separate. Also there was no option to automatically continue when connecting to a headset (this was working in Ultrasonic 4.8, but not in 4.7.1 I hope they fix that bug sometime…) So after some weeks use I switched back to Ultrasonic.

OSM exists to record and map facts, not to dictate them. If some people call it that way, than it should be recorded in the database, it’s not about personal preferences and politics, we shouldn’t decide if the name is right or not. If you read the linked forum thread you can see that it is purely technical, about how we should record it in the database and when (now vs when and if it will become official)

It’s a bit annoying here that a lot of people misunderstands this, and comments recommendations with near zero osm mapping experience, this is about how to map a thing on OpenStreetMap, not about politics.

My offline android music workflow:

• Server: Navidrome but any music server supporting Subsonic API would work here. Navidrome has a nice UI, and reads MusicBrainz IDs, and can scrobble to ListenBrainz, that’s why I settled with this.
• Mobile app: Ultrasonic, on Fdroid. There are a lot of ways you can set up caching. I set up that it should automatically download everything from my “Now playing” playlist, at home on wifi I just add a bunch of albums and playlists to the “Now playing” list, it takes a while but it transcodes and downloads everything in a couple of minutes. It has very good Android Auto support, and a widget. Due to an annoying bug I had to downgrade to version 4.7.1, but otherwise I love it.

On osm there is one main attribute name, and other secondary names like alt_name, loc_name, official_name, etc, and different language versions of all of them e.g. name:en, name:es etc… This is not a political question, but technical, how it should be recorded according to the osm tagging scheme, how this rare situation should be mapped, it’s not straightforward.

Wiki says we should use ISO 639 language codes, but en-us is a BCP 47 code. There is a section about this on the wiki, that we should switch for that standard because of situations like this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names#Issues

I like the idea, as I’m not a tennis fan, but the 3d models are too poor quality. It looks like some quick indie project, or as a result of a hackathlon, not something from top class sport event. Or was it only an internal demo, and leaked somehow?

In the video he speaks about much more pressure difference, 333 PSI is 22 atm, the unlucky divers were only pressurized to 9 atm. So it could be even worse…
