The quota of complaints that was actually followed through / taken action on was similar to stuff actually recycled from collected recycling, both rates are below well 10% (in Germany).
263·4 days agowe give, we take, we give again, and we are all in this together.
No, the AI megacorps only steal and then make you pay to use their illegal and unethical services. How naive is this?
2·6 days agoWhat problems did you encounter? I dimly not using the official docker-compose file but one from else (because I wanted to use Http?) but personally I didn’t find it as complicated as setting up Immich or Invoice Ninja or other services that have multiple containers that need to talk to each other.
Mmmh, I don’t think the app ever got disabled by Android during my days of testing (I actually reinstalled yesterday and having a look again, battery drain seems a bit better now so far … ). But obviously a system service is always gonna be prioritised higher than a user app. But as I said I didn’t have this problem with this app (actually the only one I can think of is Syncthing and with that I’m not sure if it’s not the app going to a sleep mode or something by itself).
8·7 days agoThis seems to be a non-MS alternative:
What does device-only mean in this context? That it’s only stored on your phone?
It (theoretically) works without PlayServices. I’m on CalyxOS with MicroG enabled and while I was testing OwnTracks I think MicroG was using the Gplay Location services or something? I’ve since turned something off in MicroG location settings that was phoning home to Google and GPS is pretty bad now, not sure if OwnTracks would still be usable.
I think the official app tries to not be killed by Android woth the usual tricks (permanent notification, disabling battery optimisation):

You can (theoretically) control how often locations are tracked and sent but for me was using the location service constantly and draining battery quite a bit.
There is also
But I could never get it to ingest any data from the recc Android apps (this is probably a me problem, though, Linux Unplugged crew are using it).
I’m pretty sure it’s “open source” (as in not os, actually and probably trained on stolen data like always?)
7·9 days agoYeah, I feel you but I think that’s just learning something new that is pretty complex. I’ve had decades on Windoge and MacOS (and a lot of software only available on those platforms) and then switching to Linux and FOSS apps is obvioisly a huge learning curve.
2·10 days agoI’m really not a fan of these “Bike lane and pavement are not the same hight and the kerb is a wedge so can’t see it very well”. We have them at se places where I live (and sometimes pavement and bikelane are the same height to make it even more confusing) and I’ve seen multiple cyclists (and pedestrians) having accidents because they did not realize there was a difference in height.
4·12 days agoWait, this is a recent article? I (and Wikipedia) thought Vice has stopped publishing articles? (I aslo dimly remember them being bought by someone terrible but looks like I’m confusing that with something else)
Esp. if the LLM just hallucinates 50% of the “facts” a about the users 👌
41·14 days agoLooking forward to the tests that wil confirm that games still run better with Linux on this device as well 😸

with gpx tracos that you can use offline with Osmand or similar.
What completely blows my mind every time is when KDE Connect time pauses my music on my PC when I get a call on my mobile.
Or Bazzite!
Title kinda doesn’t make sense to me, they argue to donate monthly instead of a lump sump which I can understand, a lot of individual artist / podcasters etc prefer this as well, because it’s easier for them /Gnome to work / plan with a steady stream of income instead of random payments here and there.
Which I totally understand. But personally I’m not a fan of lots of small amounts cluttering up my (digital) bank statements every month, so I tend do just do “amount I’m comfortable to pay monthly x 12” once a year (sorry 😬).
