  • iOS Bike Tracking App

  • OrganicMaps (shout out to CoMaps, the OM alternative) and many others use OpenStreetMaps.

    This might not be what you want to hear, but you can edit the maps, and the next time OrganicMaps updates, it'll include your changes.

  • KDE Plasma Remains Committed To A Wayland Future: 70%+ Already On Wayland

    Jump

  • I have 2 computers with KDE which I've been using for the past 6 months or so. I recently read about how to switch to Wayland (log out, find the option, log back in). Both of my computers were using X11, not sure why. Maybe I chose that during installation.

    I switched both to Wayland and I'm going to do my best to stick to it. One of my computers has an older Nvidia card but luckily I don't seem to have any problems.

    Purely anecdotal, but maybe a large part of the 27% using X11 don't even know the difference.

  • Yale Researchers: Some U.S. States Experienced No Life Expectancy Improvement From 1900 To 2000

  • Ha, great rant there.

  • With Version 9.0 Release, ONLYOFFICE Becomes an Even Better Choice for Linux Users

    Jump

  • I like the OnlyOffice software. It's almost too good, like I feel like I should be wary of it. It has connections to Russia, but apparently it's open source and all that jazz so from what I I understand it's just good software.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • CoMaps now available on Google Play

    Jump

  • Are you referring to the "Google Fused Location Service" setting? I didn't think that'd improve location update frequency but I'll give it a try!

  • CoMaps now available on Google Play

    Jump

  • Either way, my Pixel 7 has a weird thing, both with OsmAnd and CoMaps, where the location updating is janky during navigation and the speed readout is stuck on 5mph. In OsmAnd I can fix this with a setting which lets me use 'Android API' instead of 'Google Play Services' for location data. Maybe I can open an issue with CoMaps to add that option.

  • Although it pains me to install from Google as opposed to F-Droid, it's the only way to have Android Auto.

  • Docker is renaming a mounted drive [Solved]

    Jump

  • I'm not an expert, but I think we need more information.

  • Hiking trails?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about. There are some of those in my area on OsmAnd but I'm not quite sure what their purpose is. Maybe they're meant to be pre-defined routes that you can take? All of them around me are overlayed on top of the actual trail, so there are still trails visible when I turn them off.

  • Hiking trails?

    Jump

  • My location has most trails mapped (some created/edited by yours truly). CoMaps uses OpenStreetMap data, so if a trail is missing near you, you can add it yourself! Record a GPS track of your hike/bike, make an account on openstreetmap.org, and follow their editing tutorial.

  • lemmy.blahaj.zone has setup a piefed instance.

  • Sounds good to me.

  • Yes, good for me. Good for everybody. Yippee!

  • lemmy.blahaj.zone has setup a piefed instance.

    Jump

  • I can only speculate, but PieFed seems great for a community like blahaj. It makes it super easy root out disrespectful users.

  • I've never needed to manually create a start menu entry. I install everything through the default repository or as a flatpak using the default software manager. I did have to manually enable flatpaks in the software manager (point for OP, admittedly).

    Everything I've ever installed, including AppImages from time to time, always gets a start menu entry.

  • Ads when you’re pumping gas

    Jump

  • It's safe until it's not. I worked at gas stations throughout high school and college and saw a few gas spills caused by the auto-shutoff system not activating. In all cases the amount spilled was minimized by the pumper being able to turn it off quickly (even with the built in trigger holder engaged. A zip tie would take a bit longer, but you'd probably still be fine. Jamming the gas cap in would also be quick to remove. I've seen rubber things sold for this purpose, too.

  • Very cool

  • Migrating communities in the wake of the lemm.ee shutdown

    Jump

  • One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.

    On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.

    I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.

  • I've certainly seen some toxic .ee users which jives with your theory.
