The 400$ one will also contribute to e-waste.

Just saying.

Stackoverflow gets quickly steamrolled by AI.

We’re not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.

I agree that it’s not great that telemetry is shared, but to say that you buy it “just” to share your data is an exaggeration. I am sure you do useful things with it.

That said, yes, it is bloated and I wish you could really turn off all telemetry. Am totally with you on that.

The way mobile providers charge. The likes of Vodafone, any random Telecom, T-Mobile and so forth. It’s a huge scam, bordering theft sometimes. Want samples? Here we go:

“Your credit expires in x days. Better recharge now to not lose it!” (Banks should start doing this /s)

“Your credit has expired. Better give us more money within our generous deadline, or else we are forced to delete your number. We love you.”

“Your data has expired. We now charge you a horrendous amount every minute, because we are too greedy to warn you in time. For technical reasons we also cannot stop you from using data after your allowance has been used. Fortunately you still have credit, huh?”

“Your data expires today. We don’t insult your intelligence by telling you when. Surely you remember when you bought the package, right? It’s not hard to count 24 hours. We also do not send any SMS anymore to save the environment.”

“Your data has expired. You need data to buy a new bundle. Our app charges data for our convenience.”

“Social media data only works for WhatsApp, but not for Signal. But who uses Signal anyways?”

“Use our customer friendly support chat. Conveniently it uses data. ‘Hello, I am your smart bot speaking. How can I help you? I might understand you if you type one of the three questions I have been programmed to answer. Do you want to know more about our products?’”

Edit: added point 2, minor corrections for clarity

Endless Sky found it’s way onto my device recently.

Speak for yourself. I intend to live forever.

Breezy Weather also supports OpenMeteo. Can be changed in the settings.

Saved you a search.

Why would I use this “Geometric Weather” on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?

Doesn’t show as much information (e.g. dew point, daily forecast details).

Doesn’t support multiple weather providers, AFAIK.

Doesn’t look as nice, if that matters.

Both apps don’t track. I would venture a guess and say that Breezy Weather has the warning, because it includes AccuWeather, which can be turned off and changed to OpenMeteo or others.

SCEE is described as StreetComplete for advanced users. Does anyone have experience with this?

🤦‍♂️ Duh. This took a while. Mistook ALT+F4 for ALT+ENTER.

😂 I’m so slow!

Looking at the world getting worse every single day and realising that so few people care that we’re essentially doomed unless some miracle happens.

Or double click into the picture.

Here is the reference.

Better overwrite with a message than delete. And do it twice to be safe. That seems to make it harder for Reddit to restore what you don’t want there.

Here is an alternative: Comment on OpenStreetMaps.

OpenStreetMap (OSM)

OpenStreetMap is a free, editable map of the world, created and maintained by millions of volunteers. It includes data about roads, buildings, shops, points of interest, and more.

Many of the benefits of Google Maps without all its spying and advertising.

Bonus in line with this: OsmAnd.

Edit: a more lightweight, but fully FOSS OSM client: Organic Maps. Blazing fast and under constant development.

Edit 2: Here is a Lemmy community dedicated to OsmAnd: !osmand@lemmy.ml

That’s a far cry from what Ditto can do.
