TBH I haven't used traffic feature (or WeGo, really) enough to know if it's good.

I have been using Organic Maps for many years. They are offline-first, and use OpenStreetMap for the data. Since it's OpenStreetMap, quality might vary by country and even city.

If you're looking for more commercial app, HERE WeGo / Here Maps has traffic and online accounts.

That and HDMI/video over USB-C. Most smartphones probably support that now. Now your in-car display can look the same as your phone in landscape mode instead of some afterthought UI with minimal functionality.

Check out Angie Tribeca. It's a parody cop show with non-stop nonsense similar to how Kung Fury is.

Right before Kung Fury, there was Iron Sky. Moon Nazis, Sarah Palin as the U.S. president, and just generally over the top. Iron Sky 2 was kinda meh.

That explains why Synapse and some other things moved under element-hq on GitHub.

Doesn't Element get funding from some EU governments? IIRC it was used by some police force in Germany and some departments in France.

Xed editor comes close in terms of handling files-as-files, but I found it more cumbersome and buggy than Markor.

Revelation Space series does not have FTL, but in its place, an engine that can produce 1G indefinitely (not manufactured anymore, powered by handwavium, it seems... but the secret is revealed in one of the short stories). There is further shenanigans with physics, but never FTL.

It definitely adds more nuance to the world, because now you can't have interstellar empires if you cannot communicate over large distances.

It really depends on the business.

I worked for two smaller businesses (team of ≤ 10 software developers). One was mismanaged, ran by very unpleasant people, and abusive towards employees, resulting in a huge turnover and a "dead sea effect". The other company got government grants because the owner's relative was a politician, and had ridiculous surveillance software on developers' machines.

Ironically, the most "human" and enjoyable work I did was working on internal legacy software and code rewrites for a huge corporation before and during their move towards agile and modern "conveyorized" approach to software.

When I ran prosody a few years ago, I did so without docker.

I did try snikket in docker though, and it looks like it is still actively maintained.

IIRC the Windows version of Midori was the only browser that was light enough to watch Netflix on my ~2005 laptop.

Reminds me of a "minimalist text editor" that my coworker showed me circa 2015. It was an Electron app that consumed more RAM to display a empty file than Firefox with 5 active tabs.

 

A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.

I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I'll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!
