This meme format makes me sad ever since I learned that the blonde woman was outed as being severely physically abused by her husband here.
The cat's her husband?
Yes
Nothing is as funny as having to undergo facial reconstruction surgery because your husband punched you hard enough to break your bones.
That's horrible :( hope the cat was put down for that
I don’t know why I expected better than reddit level low bar dumbfucks here.
Says buttnugget 🤣
I agree that my silly username is the same thing as joking about severe domestic violence. Fucking bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck.
Did someone hurt you as a child? You do understand we are online right? No one wins in an argument and both parties are removed.
Now all that aside, you are correct severe domestic violence isn't fun and i would argue I and many others do not condone it. Sometimes a joke can be a joke and that's ok.
Says a worthless dumbfuck 🤣
You really need to get out of your parents basement and get some fresh air. I wish you luck managing all that anger as you move forward in life.
How did you know I was angry and living in my parents basement? Dang it, you got me! Let me go touch grass!
But in all seriousness, you’re the one who said that the asshole mocking domestic violence was the same as me having a silly handle. Don’t forget that. You. And me mocking you for that is enjoyable.
Seriously you have anger issues lol let alone letting someone who is unknown to you get soooooooo under your skin. I'm merely continuing replying because it baffles me how absolutely seething you seem to be at the whole premise that because you think a joke is in poor taste and therefore the rest of the world is wrong. In a way it's hilarious in itself
It never ceases to amuse me that y’all bottom of the barrel intellects confuse shit talking for anger. I know you don’t realize it because you are one, but worthless reddit brained dumbfucks only have three stock responses, and calling me angry is always one of em!
Remember, you told me that my silly username was the same as mocking domestic violence. That was you. Have a nice day!
You're genuinely awesome I wonder how long I can keep you flapping your gums. You're typing so much but saying so little.
Sounds good!
Oof. That sucks.
Time to fork the meme.
Quick heads up for anyone running verbose NextDNS configs, you'll need to add an exception for this entry currently to start the initial download
I hope they will make the destination search much better, it's almost unusable now, and unintuitive. Regarding traffic data, how much could it be per user per year, something like this https://www.mapbox.com/traffic-data ?
I bet it wouldn't be much.
I could switch to this app if it had live traffic data. Isn't there any shared traffic data to get some info from for free at least to begin with?
Good to see devs willing to do the work needed in order to draw hard lines on the capitalist leeches that divert money away from the project. I am looking forward to the traffic system that they mentioned as a future option. Would allow users that are okay with turning on those features for adding crowdsourced traffic data and stuff like marking cops posting up to get their quotas.
Literally the only thing that keeps me on Waze is that stuff. I have to deal with a lot of interstate travel to and from work and knowing that a big crash happened so I can re-route before getting stuck is crucial. I will still make sure to have this installed just like I had Organic Maps as a good option. And to see what stuff I go to that needs to be updated on OSM and StreetComplete. Had to add all of the addresses on my street on OSM a while ago just to be able to correctly enter my address. One of those addresses that is listed as one town for mailing and is technically within the borders of a smaller one with regards to utilities and plots of land.
The problem is if nobody uses it, there won't be any data.
You might know of Organic Maps, the open source app that's an alternative to Google Maps. Recently, concerns have been raised about its governance, with many contributors questioning the project's transparency and direction.
Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code were made by a small group of shareholders, often without input from the broader contributor community.
These shareholders have reportedly used the project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips, raising serious concerns about financial transparency.
As a result, many contributors teamed up and forked the project, establishing CoMaps, a new alternative focused on openness and being not-for-profit.
project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips
I do have the same overall concerns though and for me enough reason to switch the moment its possible also. But I tend to see the 'the holiday trips' as a symtpom instead of a problem. Later on they explained that some developers received 3 months salary worth of pay over the course of 4 years. Putting a lot more time in it during those four years. If I contributed that much for free I also would spend it on a holiday. But the problem is like you said transparancy:
- No openness of financial transactions which I guess showing salary wouldnt be a problem and if everybody was able to see the salary was reasonable. (and I dont care what people do with it in their private live).
- Maybe they didnt organise it that way (paying oneself for labour and tell everyone) but maybe they used it directly for holidays etc, which is a problem for the business entity they have I guess. Like my boss paying my holiday instead of my salary.
- Reluctant to answer questions in reasonable timeframes (couple of months)
Switching is possible now, if you want. CoMaps builds have been released for a while, and are in f-droid I think since today? I have no idea about Google play store.
Smartphone from employer doesnt permit sideloading. ;)
