Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey
  • That sucks it didn't work well for you. Hopefully the useability is more improved the next time you may be willing to try again.

  • What are some valid criticisms of Lemmy do you hear from people who tried out the platform?
  • and very unwelcoming to any other viewpoint.

    Thank you for providing a great example of this

  • Insanity
  • Actually, that's almost part of the problem ironically.

    Most of the bus routes go down dedicated bus transitways to a main hub, which means the first bus goes 30 minutes North instead of West.

  • Insanity
  • Or it takes prohibitively longer than a driving.

    My wife considered taking the bus to work, but it would take 2 hours to get 20 minutes down the road.

    Also add the fact that a bus pass is more expensive than our car insurance.

  • Project for people leaving Google Maps.
  • The app mentioned on the post, Organic Maps, has Android Auto. OsmAnd is another app that I know has it as well.

  • Steam Families is here
  • Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members' libraries, even if they are online playing another game.

    This is a great improvement to this feature. It's refreshing when these type of convenience features are considered and implemented.

  • Seriously.
  • America didn't really invent their own volume of measurements, they just didn't keep up.

    They used what the British used, then separated from Britain, and didn't update the units when Britain did.

  • Supermoon vs Micromoon Size Comparison
  • An 11% increase of something small is miniscule.

    The actual apparent size difference between the minimum and maximum size of the moon is 1/15th of a single degree in the night sky.

  • Supermoon vs Micromoon Size Comparison
  • it's hard to tell visually that the moon is larger or smaller, unless you do a direct comparison like this

    This is comparing the extremes of the size difference, too. It's closer to only a 5% difference when comparing an average full moon to a supermoon.

  • F-Droid exploring to include paid apps, in-apps, subscription, and ads in app
  • And the "free" means "freedom", it doesn't mean "no price"

  • *Vrrrrrip*
  • Oops, my CD just skipped and everyone just heard you let one rip.

  • Drivers keep crashing into Amish buggies, so Ohio enacted a law requiring buggies be festooned with electric flashing lights
  • Drive that slow on a rural county road at night and you're going to have a bad time. There really aren't that many people just stepping out into the road in front of a car at that time, your speed shouldn't be dictated on that one factor alone.

    You seem to be missing the point that if any people would be walking or biking down a rural road, they can be completely off the road, likely wearing something reflective or high visibility. Buggies are low visibility by design and take up a large portion of the road even when they are as far over as they possibly can be.

    I don't think forcing them to use electric lights is the proper approach, though.

  • I don't think I'll continue using Arch, btw
  • This got me looking to see if there is any way to have a fallback as I have had something similar happen to me.

    The general advice is to have a liveboot USB around. I even saw that you can have GRUB simply boot from an .iso file on the internal drives, which eliminates the need to keep a USB stick around.

    I haven't followed the steps yet but I'll give this a shot because it intrigues me.

  • Bungie veterans Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy have reportedly left [VGC]
  • It's been a long time since I kept up with Bungie and had to look back because the name Luke Smith rang a bell.

    It led me back to this and he indeed is who I thought he was, the lead of this old song

  • Here are the best Google Maps alternatives for finding your way: With a number of community-driven, open-source mapping projects, picking a navigation app without ads or tracking has never been easier
  • Under "Assets" on their Github Release page, they have two APKs listed. One is a web version and the other is a google version.

    https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/releases

    I did some experimenting and it seems like only the google version has Android Auto.

    This entertaining game aims to be a scientifically accurate evolution game, starting off as a single-celled organism and growing into more complex organelles, competing against other organisms in the environment.

    It is still in active development and later stages aren't fully fleshed out yet but the early stages can still provide a few hours of fun.

    Lemmy.ca Support / Questions @lemmy.ca Undearius @lemmy.ca
    Comments appear highlighted with a box

    I noticed this odd behaviour a few days ago. It happens on desktop and mobile web pages. It seems to only be on this instance (lemmy.ca) because I don't see this when browsing other instances directly.

    I can't see the UI version number at the bottom of the page. I'm using Firefox 114 on both desktop and Android phone.
