All hail @jolla and @ubports I guess…

Beep boop

This is the final nail in the coffin for an otherwise such a great product. Never going back I guess…

Here in the rest of the world that doesn’t use miles for distances, having to use something other than your phone’s SMS/RCS app (that goes through your carrier) has been a norm for quite a while.

You can clearly tell that this is news mostly for the US audience (who also uses stuff like voicemail instead of calling again - who the hell even listens to their voicemails?).

It’s all fun and games nowadays, but I think it’s worth remembering that post offices were considered critical infrastructure back then (in my country I think they still are, officially, even though people rarely consider it as such). Until the widespread adoption of the telephone, having your settlement (city, town etc.) lack a post office (or any way of sending a letter anywhere) meant cutting it from the rest of the world - and even after that they were highly important, as you couldn’t send papers (as in documents) by email, so you had to mail them using the post office.

My parents even got quite a bunch of postcards (if you’re too young to know what this is about search the internet for that) from all their vacations when they were young, which they all sent and received, as the name implies, via regular mail.

Eh, I wanted to focus on the positive stuff for just a bit.

How many EU countries does it plan to support?

Where there’s a will, there’s a way

(I did part of the translation on Friendica too, but it was also partially translated when I landed here back in 2022 as well)

Ah, I see. It’s probably an issue with Lemmy. Here on Friendica I only posted it once:

What do you mean?

Edit: I’ve read all your replies. It looks to be more of a Lemmy thing. Here on Friendica it looks just fine:

How time flies…

each of which he counted, naturally

Vlad the Impaler be like:

Yo dawg, I heard you like blockades. So I put a blockade in your blockade so you can blockade while you blockade and jack up oil prices.

Use this (if you have an iPhone) or this (if you have an Android) to locate your phone. And do report this to the police.

Ah, I see. Well, I hope that helps too. Plus there are apps that use the @transitous database. Maybe your city is there too.

I tried öffi. Nothing works in my country besides regular passenger trains, which I don’t take that often. If neither OM and Co work with public transit, then I would rather recommend any app that pulls its information from Transitous. I tried it with Träwelling just for the fun of the game, but it did work really great

Use Bolt instead of Uber. An actual European service from Estonia.

Edit: and if you want to be more European in this regard, use your city’s public transit. There might be an app for it too.

Yeah, I have a similar experience with Organic Maps. We don’t have anything like the S Bahn yet in Bucharest, but we have a metro and it works with it. However the vast majority of my trips are made with the surface transit (buses, trams and trolleybuses) and that’s where Organic Maps doesn’t help.

Looks like they’re working on an integration with the GTFS feeds, albeit I would’ve been happier if they used an already established project like @transitous instead

CoMaps is an interesting project, but I’ve gotten so used to Organic Maps 😁 are there any other features it has that could make it stand out from Organic Maps? (Besides the map colours)

And most importantly: does it feature public transit navigation options beside the metro?

Moving past the obvious slurs in your comment, those migrants might actually get more of a red carpet treatment - sorry to spoil your vengeful dreams. In part because they are who they are, but also because of the spoken language making it easier to get higher paid jobs, probably at multinational corporations too (English is pretty commonly spoken as a foreign language, so it’s not so well paid and sought as other foreign languages, but if that’s your native language you’re definitely getting an edge over the locals).

Patriots (also called sovreignists here in Romania) will do what they do the best: label them as sexo-marxists invading our country and too snowflake to stay with Trump. But outside those pricks, people here are very open towards migrants.

We have an ongoing collective memory of us taking the road to the West after the fall of communism, along with all the hardships we faced, and the fair treatment of migrants is, from my experience, pretty well promoted publicly (at least so far).

If the far right gets in power in two years from now, which is highly likely given the current political situation, things might take a turn to the worse. But until then, the orchestra is singing on the Titanic.

And as a personal opinion, I think it’s wrong to put all the American migrants in the same pot. I think the people leaving the US behind are exactly those who saw the things coming, who understood what Project 2025 was about and did all they could to prevent this from happening. Throwing them in concentration camps similar to those in El Salvador, degrading them or being xenophobic to them in any way will teach them no lesson and will definitely teach the usual MAGA supporter no lesson, or at least not the lesson you’re looking for. I’m rather pro treating these people well, especially since (despite all the shortcomings), during these whole decades when America was truly free, it represented a safe haven for people looking to escape prosecution in their homeland, especially due to their etnicity or religion. So taking these people as they themselves flee from political prosecution is more of an acknowledgement of the role the free America had on making the world a better place, sometimes even helping make entire countries free and independent from other countries.
