I mean hyperloop is just “train, but bad”. No clue what people ever saw in that “tech”.

No but you bring up a good example: You don’t get your sub for donating money to Subway. You have to pay them to get it. But in return, it provides a - questionable, some would say - service to you by providing you with food.

But recently, they’ve started putting some of their articles behind a paywall. Since I was already donating, I automatically have access.

In that case I don’t see a problem. In a lot of ways your donation became a subscription, but then again, news cost money to make. This was true during the print days, and is no less true during the digital age.

Hasn’t Overwatch if anything shown that focusing on the small highest end crowd doesn’t actually work in the context of heterogeneous classes to play? Unlike MOBAs, so I can totally see why a dev would assume it to be the correct choice.

The whole idea of different kits in a shooter already precludes balance though. That’s an accepted loss for more enjoyable gameplay.

There’s the compounding issue that something that seems simple on the surface, say, pairing a pair of bluetooth headphones, is a convoluted mess of super-complicated shit on a technical level.

And to even handle that, the engineer making the app that handles these does not know about how to sync an L and an R headpiece. And the person who knows about that does not know how to establish contact via bluetooth. Etc. It’s layers upon layers upon layers of tricky technical stuff. Each of which has the ability to propagate buggy behavior both up and down the layers. And each engineer probably cannot easily fix the other layers (they’re not theirs), so they work around the bugs. Over time this adds an insane amount of complexity to the code as hundreds of these tiny adjustments are spread everywhere.

Now what happens if someone takes all the parts you replaced, and uses them to construct a 3D printer?

Do they own the A8? Or do you?

True, although them not being on the ballot would in turn also violate the “anyone can become president”-thing, no?

Oooh, I did not know that. TYVM!

So long as it’s possible to ban the bot so I don’t see the spam, sure.

So sorry for your loss. :'(

I’m living here with a very old lady whose sister has left us a bit over a year ago, and I cherish every day I got left with her, but she’s also very old. Letting a pet go is always super tough, but I’m so grateful for the time I get wtih them.

Nice try, FBI!

Both. I use YT on Firefox constantly, and I just explicitly tried again with a swapped user agent, and there’s no issues at all, works perfectly as expected. I saw from your other reply that you use a fairly involved and heavily modifying expansion, not just a user agent switcher.

If you try to “harden” your FF, always keep in mind that a large portion of that means absolutely breaking things left and right and center. It might work, but always expect it will not. Because it’s just not something anybody would ever test for when creating web pages. So you’re running essentially unknown scenarios. It might be interesting input to the extension-author that this breaks, though. It might be something they think they got working. Of course, it could also be that it’s “Yeah that happens, it’s intentional”. But might as well report it to them.

So you don’t use Firefox, you mess with Firefox. That’s on you then. Devs can’t be held responsible for you intentionally breaking things. Only do what you know works.

It works fine?

Yeah, we were also once happy.

And then we started using Jira.

It’s… okay?

In fact no, it’s by-far the best Google Maps alternative I’ve used so far, this clears OsmAnd+ easily. However, it still has quite a way to go. I can see why it’s awesome for hiking, but this has some interesting side effects.

For example, I noticed right away that it cannot search for specific places in non-downloaded maps. This might seem like a “duh”, but the maps around here seem extremely fine-grained, so I need to first search for the town, then download the map, then search for the street and address, then I can navigate. Oh no wait I cannot, I need to also download maps for all places in-between.

This makes complete sense for hiking, where I’m confined to a - comparatively - small area and want to pre-download this, at all times, always. And also don’t really “search” for a specific address to route to beforehand, rather for a general area and then just get the map.

And of course, the quality of navigation is… adventurous. But I expected that, that’s just something GMaps has a huge starting advantage at, and this clears what OsmAnd+ does and honestly feels better than Apple Maps, too. Though that’s maybe not high praise, as in this area of the world Apple Maps is like getting lost only you use a smartphoen to do it.
Still, it’s the second best I’ve seen. And for an open source app, that’s an insane feat.

Hugely impressed, TY OP. Never heard of this before.

And then in the web app, you need to do this complicated hold-LMB-then-select-from-list to select something, making just browsing really difficult.

Or is there a better way of doing that? I lack a good way to just browse Openstreetmap.
