On first glace I thought I'd be looking at the UI of a streaming service. This is so awful

I need to look it up again, but I read about a study that showed that the results improve if you tell the AI that your job depends on it or similar drastic things. It's kinda weird.

I had a professor in university who didn't use the grid layout and even had icons overlapping each other to fit more stuff on the desktop. It was wild

You probably won't gain much right now, but as the development on Organic Maps has stalled, you might encounter bugs not being fixed, no new features etc. If it stays like that, you'd probably want to switch at some point.

If you wish to increase your sadness and dread a little more, have a look at this list

I can totally understand that. In case you still want to give it a chance, I can highly recommend EndeavorOS. It's basically pre-styled, pure Arch. But it has a welcome dialog, where you have a warning banner at the top if you need to be careful regarding an update. This directly links you to their Gitlab and forum with the steps you'd need to take to not break anything. This saved me multiple times already and I never broke my system, despite not even reading the Arch RSS feed or changelogs.

Besides the EndeavorOS forum is waaaay friendlier compared to the Arch one.

This was exactly the same for me. Every Manjaro install I had broke sooner or later because of these dependency issues. After my 3rd or 4th try, I decided to switch to EndeavorOS which is extremely stable for me and serves me well for a couple of years now.

I have a Garmin Fenix 7s. This watch also has torx screws on the back. I wear it day and night for 3-4 years now, even when working in the garden etc. and the screw heads are completely clean. So I don't think it's an issue.

And if you need it in a browser, there is Collabora, which exists as a paid business version with support or a free non-support version, that can easily be deployed with Nextcloud. Another alternative would be CryptPad.

If you also need your mails in your browser, there are multiple providers like mailbox.org that offer mail encryption even through the online mail interface.

That statement of him is not entirely wrong. But we humans have a very powerful bio computer that is perfectly tuned to process those visual inputs in realtime. Until a comparable performance is possible, removing LIDAR is very stupid.

You shouldn't install software from someone you don't trust anyway because even if the installation process is save, the software itself can do whatever it has permission to.

"So if you trust their software, why not their install script?" you might ask. Well, it is detectable on server side, if you download the script or pipe it into a shell. So even if the vendor it trustworthy, there could be a malicious middle man, that gives you the original and harmless script, when you download it, and serves you a malicious one when you pipe it into your shell.

And I think this is not obvious and very scary.

It's just a "frontend" to let you use the official Play Store without a Google account

I'm sorry, because then your juniors must be really shit. I gave AI tools multiple chances already but they produce so much garbage. Even a very inexperienced junior will produce better code after a few weeks of training.

If there'd be a roboter able to clean the whole bathroom, I'd buy it right away. Cleaning the floor is actually the quickest of my cleaning tasks.

That resonates so well with me. Attending all the meetings, discussing feature requests and evaluating their feasibility is so exhausting. But working overtime for a few days to find and fix the bug that completly halted production? No problem!

First there is a fork of Organic Maps, which is called CoMaps. If I understood it correctly, the development on Organic Maps nearly halted for some reason regarding the company that owns it. CoMaps now wants to pick it up again.

Also for navigation I use Magic Earth. It uses OSM data but is not FOSS itself, which is unfortunate. But it offers traffic data which is crucial for good arrival time estimation or avoiding traffic jams.

Hab's eben schon unter einem anderen Post kommentiert. Geh mal wieder auf die Straße, geh mal wieder demonstriern:

You can check if yours work. Mine do, fortunately: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

Den Arbeitnehmern Gier zu unterstellen, weil sie adäquat bezahlt werden wollen, obwohl die Arbeitgeber diejenigen sind, die mit allem Mitteln versuchen ihren Gewinn zu maximieren und die Millionen scheffeln, ist schon ziemlich Banane.
