My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

And don’t tell me this doesn’t work, it’s how I’ve run my house for the past ten years.

Does he realize anyone can make them? Like, for example, an image of him crying on his way to court while protesters throw cheese at him.

I need some help remembering a song. I only have bits of lyrics. It’s sung by a girl with a French accent. The parts I can remember are more spoken than sung. Talking about a cafe she says “the one you like on your street”. Another line is “after we would head to the cinema”. The song is directed at an ex she considers “stolen” from her and talking about dating and what could have been between them.

I talk about my beliefs about what happens during the process of death, and how that can provide comfort as an atheist.

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.

Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.

Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.

Hi, I’m Hunter Perrin, and I made a new email service called Port87.

Gmail was a great email service back in 2006, but now it just sucks. They put ads in your inbox that look like unread emails to trick you into clicking them. To me, that means Gmail is malware.

I’ve been degoogling my life for the past 7 years, and Gmail is the last Google service I depended on. I love ProtonMail and use it too, but I developed a new way to sort email automatically, and wanted to write my own service based on it.

Port87 lets you use a tagged address like [email protected], and that automically creates a “netflix” label and puts all email to that address in it. This helps keep your email organized automatically, and protects against spam and phishing.

The database abstraction library I wrote for Port87 is called Nymph.js, and it’s open source. Also the UI library I wrote is called Svelte Material UI, and it’s open source too.

I hope you all like it, and hopefully it can help migrate away from Gmail.

Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address.

If you give the address "[email protected]" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing.

Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label ([email protected]), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human.

Your "bare address" ([email protected]) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is [email protected].)

Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.

Hi Lemmy Svelters! I'm Hunter Perrin (hperrin), and I created Svelte Material UI. I'm new to Lemmy after being a redditor for 10+ years. I'm happy to see that there's already a Svelte community (even if small) on Lemmy. :D
