First time I’ve seen this take, but man it rings true.
I remember having teachers in middle school who seemed draconic to me in their emphasis on proper grammar and punctuation, however as an adult I’m lucky to read an email that contains paragraphs, much less proper punctuation.
Times are changing, and it’s up to the individual to decide how they want to respond to it
I usually use Pure Maps [0]. Note that various phones handle GNSS differently and for fast fixes, depending on the phone and distro, you may have to configure or trigger retrieval of assistance data from the Internet ([1] is an example for Librem 5's Teseo LIV3) - the module will be able to download all this stuff from the sky as well, but it may take several minutes or even fail under poor conditions, while getting fresh data online and acquiring a fix based on it takes seconds.
When it comes to Waydroid, I boot it up very rarely and usually just to do something specific and stop the container afterwards, so it's not a concern. But if you wanted to keep it loaded for fast access (booting it up takes about half a minute) you can either freeze the container or just suspend the entire phone and it shouldn't influence anything other than keeping RAM occupied.
Track recording in comaps is super finicky, at least for me. I’ve lost multiple recordings while checking the map mid hike.
I can’t say what the exact cause is. Should probably work that out. But I’ve taken to recording using it and all trails at the at the same time with plans to bring the missing data over to comaps at some point.
Meta did, numerous Meta IP's appeared in the torrent swarms.
The problem with using the torrents is they are slow, most of the larger sets have <3 seeders, with many dropping in and out, on home or slow connections. I would imagine other companies have learned from Meta's mistake and don't want to appear in the swarm either, which is why direct access is preferred. 100k for unlimited books access is nothing compared to the other costs these labs incur.
Yeah, I found that original comment to be a bit nonsensical. It would be like arguing you can't build your own PC because the lithography tech needed to make modern ICs is really complicated. I wasn't planning a laying out my own chip, and these guys aren't planning on building their own printhead from scratch.
If you are, you know the fandom. Some seek closure. The fandom is stereotypical.
I never fit in school, was bullied, fell in to a class of misfits who didn't get a chance in life. If it works for you fine, but don't give me that condescending bull.
The furry fandom is a sex cult at this point. Furries don't do anything to make a positive light of themselves and then laugh at the toxic they receive and turn a blind eye to the extremes while continuing the same toxic disgusting behaviour.
And don't you dare blame austism or Aspergers on that one. They know better.
I walked out, dug myself out of the hole that I fell in to and will never return. The fandom is cesspit regardless if you take sympathy in the folk who are mixed in the brain department. I'd rather be a misfit alone than be part of that community.
I miss those too. I remember as a kid one display that shot a bunch of really bright white flare-like fireworks that were blinding and hung in the sky followed by dozens of those small but loud ones and it was memorable.

Not unless you're purchasing on the black market or (illegally) manufacturing it yourself.† The professional stuff is substantially larger than anything sold on the consumer market.
† Which is surprisingly trivial to do BTW but please be extremely cautious and very thoroughly master the underlying theory if you decide to go that route.
Isn't it strange, how some incredibly crude game written in the 80's will probably live forever in an archive somewhere, while the sophisticated things we create today are amazing but too numerous to be preserved or remembered. Working on a rollback netcode system as well currently.
It is true that most software development jobs don't need much CS knowledge to perform. The majority of developers simply kludge together common libraries, frameworks, and software packages without needing to understand all that much about the internals.
It is also true that the software development jobs that don't need much CS knowledge to perform are the ones most vulnerable to being automated away by LLMs. If a kludge is sufficient, AI can kludge it cheaper than a human.
Why would a unicorn stay a solo business?
Most money is made by making agreements and not by building.
Hiring humans is cheaper and proven to be working compared to AI.
