Project for people leaving Google Maps.
  • Yeah, it's interesting to look through the edit history over the years. With StreetComplete I recently fixed ~8 stores that were many years out of date, during an hour walk.

    It's fun to find a real hole-in-the-wall that even google maps doesn't have.

  • Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.
  • This post was reported. I think the objection would be to the second paragraph where it sounds like you are making a claim about the character of the person.

    We do want this to be an inviting place where people can share what they are passionate about. Everyone is free to attack each other's opinions and stances. However, there are rules against attacking individuals and groups of people.

    Not only is it against the rules but there are much more effective methods of arguing. Ad hominem attacks are poor at persuasion.

    Do you mind rewriting the second paragraph to focus on the arguments made in the prior comment, rather than the character of the person?

  • Thank you, I really appreciate the effort to tone things down.

    I want people to have the freedom be passionate in their comments and posts, and I think the community rules do a good job of allow the freedom to argue passionately. The rules do aim to avoid attacks against people themselves and groups of people.

    So, while toning things down is not the primary goal, when things get aggressive it's harder for everyone to avoid ad hominem attacks.

  • New week, new improvements: 140% faster encryption speed on macOS
  • I'm happy to see improvements to Drive even if I don't use Mac.

    I would love to share photo albums with friends from Proton, many of which use Signal and would find Proton compelling, but I cant.

    I recently needed to make a shared account with my parents and we went with Google rather than Proton because they don't have spreadsheets yet.

  • NSFW
    Cursing is when you use edgy filler words instead of saying something meaningful.
  • I dont have the ability to tag it NSFW. If you edit your original post you can tag it NSFW. source: https://lemmy.world/post/463392 If you editing your post, please consider replacing your example with something that steers well clear of people's characteristics. See this section of the rules for more details: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#1-attacks-on-users-or-groups

  • This comment got reported. And while trolling is not allowed. Attacking an individual is also not allowed. So I'm not sure if attacking them for being a troll is allowed.

    If you think a post is trolling (ie: just trying to stir up anger rather than trying to make an argument for something), please report it. If you think a poster is serial trolling please point it out in the report.

    I'm open to feedback.

  • Swear words are fine. Attacking people's weight (or age, sexuality, gender, etc) should be avoided.

    I'll admit that there is gray area in this rule. On Lemmy there are many instances of posts mocking celebrities for different characteristics but the posts seem to be permitted if the celebrities are largely disliked.

    I'll see if I can add a NSFW tag....

  • @Mr_No_Swearing@lemmy.zip This post was reported for fatphobia. I understand that you are using it as an example but we do want to avoid attacks on specific people or groups of people. Like you showed in your later posts, people swear at all sorts of things, like the weather, stubbing their toe, and missing the bus.

    Do you mind changing the example in your original post? You can say that the example was changed at my request. Especially if you think changing the example will make the comments confusing.

    Otherwise, I like your post. It's an interesting thing to think through and while it seems to be a little unpopular, my thoughts in the shower are often not fully thought through and would stand up poorly to the scrutiny of internet strangers.

    Edit: I'm getting some down votes. I'm always open to hearing other people's thoughts if you would like to share. I make mistakes.

  • This post was reported for disinformation. To me this post reads like an opinion and hyperbole.

    If we do assume that the post is making a factual claim; I'm not a lawyer and I don't know if voting has ever been used to claim that someone is complicit in a crime. Im open to being pointed to evidence.

  • Motorola 'Chop' for flashlight is trash
  • Up voted, because I don't agree. I have the 2023 power or whatever it's called with the big battery.

    • the double chop and twist are so fast
    • wired headphones are lovely
    • the battery life is the best I have had
    • when you want a nice picture you can borrow an iphone 😅
  • Is there and Open Street Maps project for ratings and reviews?

    It's a key feature of Google maps that I don't have a great replacement for. I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.

    The French are still fighting for the US democracy.

    The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.

    • paraphrasing from an audio tour by Rick Steves, I think.

    Edit: oops, i flipped words in the title

    Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.

    I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

    It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

    Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

    Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

    Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

    Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

    Which is older an infant or a baby?

    Is one a sub group of the other? Does either term include toddlers?

    I'm having this discussion with someone and we both thought the opposite from eachother and we were quite sure our way of thinking was the common understanding.

    Is there a good source of info on rental car liability insurance?

    I want to know if the car I'm renting comes with liability insurance. I just want to be sure that if I am at fault in an accident, that the other car will be covered. Lets try to ignore any personal car insurance policy and let's ignore collision insurance for now.

    I am under the impression that in many countries they are required to give you liability insurance when you rent the car, but I don't have a good source. Many articles have mixed information.

    For the US, this article says:

    > For a registered car rental company in the US, they must provide a minimum level of liability protection for cars they rent out.

    But this other article says > In the U.S., every state requires a minimum amount of liability insurance on car insurance policies, so you may already have liability coverage through your personal auto insurance.

    Which sounds like in the US your personal insurance is all you have.
