That’s interesting, thank you. I didn’t know anything about Gujarati, this is a cool opportunity to learn!

Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_numerals

Google translated it as “Nine days and seven days are tight”.

Does that sound like a good translation to you?

So when someone changes a light bulb, which direction to turn is just a feeling in their bones?

That’s fair.

You pushed it to OsmAnd? Thank you!

Oh I didn’t know you could setup quick options.

You can share profiles?! Sweet thanks.

Yeah it doesn’t have the friendliest user interface, but it does have an enormous amount of functionality when you eventually find the menu you are looking for.

Well if it doesn’t happen again, that means Linux isn’t doing well.

‘it’ being a handoff of ownership

Motorola still has them

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 With StreetComplete I recently fixed ~8 stores that were many years out of date, during an hour walk.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.

I have found Organic Map’s search to be far better than OSMand. OSMand has far more features though.

How do contacts work? I assume you use cheogram. Does cheogram access your phone’s contacts, or does it have a separate database of contacts?

Yes, you link your OSM account to StreetComplete and it adds your contributions via your OSM account. Same with Vespucci.

When you log into OSM you can see all the contributions pushed by StreetComplete.

The devs are doing a stunning job with the app so I have no qualms.

Yeah I still can’t figure out how to add a postal box in StreetComplete so I use Vespucci. But yeah Vespucci is intimidating at first

Huh, works fine for me for nearly a year now. The only thing I still use google calendar for are some shared calendars.

After proton adds Standard Notes. I’m hoping google maps will be the last product I’m tied to.

That really is an impressive accomplishment. Yeah learning more EE seams like a great reason. Aviation radios have all sorts of clever tricks to get a longer antenna. Some WWII era planes would trail their antennas behind the aircraft.

That’s really cool, its a world I know very little about. What is an example of something you have listened to or communicated with?

Really good distinctions about Lemmy vs Mastedon.

To counter the ‘rounding error’ argument, I would argue that Meta is making the decision to federate because it makes business sense. Either they see that Mastedon is valuable today, or they see that it might become valuable in that future. Either way they are acting now to move that value to their company.

Interesting, I didn’t think of this. I assume anyone does whatever data mining they want on Fediveres content, but maybe it won’t be worth as much because they have less identifying info about the users?
