The distro comes with all of DHH’s tools preinstalled so it happens to install 1Password too, so if they just count dumb installs it could very well be true even though almost no one uses it practice.

Why isn’t this in the article? That’s literally a journalist’s job to provide that kind of context.

OSMAnd is really good, but it’s pretty slow with a clunky interface and an unpleasant theme. CoMaps has a very streamlined UI, a pleasant theme and very good performance.

I still keep both since OSM is more feature rich especially for elevation (important when cycling), but for day to day use CoMaps is the one I use.

Both are fully Open Source and use OSM data so I’m not worried much about them going to shit, though I’m under the impression CoMaps is non-profit more community built, while OSMAnd is a for small for-profit with still a community behind.

OSM is not really a map app, it’s a collaborative geo database. You can build apps of top of it, there are many many such apps. The https://openstreetmap.org/ website isn’t really a map app and is mainly tailored for the needs of OSM contributors and editors.

CoMaps is a map app that uses OSM data, and packages it in a nice, offline-first, private, and Open Source app that is quite good and easy to use.

https://cartes.app/ is another app that uses OSM data, but works closer to your regular maps, being online-first, which has its pros and cons. Still quite private and Open Source though.

Technology is not neutral. The cameras you’re talking about all make it pretty obvious when you’re filming. Cameras designed to blend in and not be obvious and creepy.

Even if it’s open source, it’s still just a camera for creeps. An open source torment nexus is still a torment nexus.

While I wear a helmet almost every time I bike, I will never push someone to wear one if they’re not convinced. Not cycling is almost always worse than not having a helmet. Cars are more dangerous, so is being sedentary.

The Netherlands, kingdom of cycling has almost no helmet use because the streets are safe and well designed.

By that same metric it would make sense to wear a helmet while walking, in case you slip and fall. Or While driving.

Glad you’re OK

Over the last two years I fell twice. One was the only time I didn’t wear a helmet, thankfully my head didn’t hit but it could have and my neck muscles saved me (I know because they were sore the next day). The other fall my helmet hit the ground pretty strong but I didn’t have a thing thanks to it.

When someone asks why I always cycle with a helmet I always show them this video 😆

Why does the headphone only has one ear and why does the cable not connect to the side of the phone and instead goes in front of the screen?

Because AI completely destroys online communities but has a much lesser impact on local/IRL communities I suppose. So those depending on online communities a lot are likely geared to be much more adverse to AI.

All quiet on the western front

It’s a movie about a German soldier during WWI, really trying to convey the horrors of war.

Just FYI unless you self-host headscale, tailscale is centralised and not private. They claim it is end to end encrypted but their proprietary centralised control server distributes the keys, so they could very easily MITM you.

Tailscale is good tech and good crypto, but Applied cryptography cannot solve a security problem. It can only convert a security problem into a key-management problem, and tailscale does not do decentralised key management.
