time for some kind of anonymizing location data sharing service, peer to peer or federated protocol? that might be interesting, or sketchy, not sure which.

Pretty sure you can download the maps ahead of time, GPS doesn’t require data, then upload the fixes when you get home.
Go map keeps crashing for me, does it for you?
I’ve been using Go Map! but it keeps crashing… Maybe I’ll try Streetcomplete if it’s on apple.
Crawling and indexing lemmy inter-instance would be an incredible boon to discoverability on the platform.
It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.
I decided to translate the worksheet into GLSL code on shadertoy. It was really cool to see the gradients and sub-coordinate systems represented by the intermediate variables in the calculation. Smoke and mirrors. Maybe you might have some insight into some of the calculations. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/cllBzM
Any ideas?
I was thinking of doing three separate GOL simulations, one on each RGB channel, and letting the colors mix that way into like 6 colors. right now, I clamp the pixel brightness values to 0 or 1, so that’s why it’s black/white, or rather black/green.
I thought there was something slightly peculiar about the narration.
The internet is a series of tubes.
This exact thought has been tossing around in the back of my mind since I read it. I was trying to figure out the legitimate reasons for not wanting to live in a city, and as far as I can tell, there are a few. But I’m not sure if it’s worse than living 45min away from downtown in some suburb and always feeling stranded without gasoline, no-matter if you are at home(too far away from the grocery store), in the city, or somewhere on the long highway connecting the two. There is no place for a person without a car really, not for more than a couple hours.
I just read it, what a good article. I’m not sure I see the vision at the end, but I totally agree with the way he describes every aspect of the problem.
Some of my favorite excerpts, in addition to the one you quoted:
“The typical American devotes more than 1500 hours a year (which is 30 hours a week, or 4 hours a day, including Sundays) to his [or her] car. This includes the time spent behind the wheel, both in motion and stopped, the hours of work to pay for it and to pay for gas, tires, tolls, insurance, tickets, and taxes .Thus it takes this American 1500 hours to go 6000 miles (in the course of a year). Three and a half miles take him (or her) one hour. In countries that do not have a transportation industry, people travel at exactly this speed on foot, with the added advantage that they can go wherever they want and aren’t restricted to asphalt roads.”
You’ll observe that automobile capitalism has thought of everything. Just when the car is killing the car, it arranges for the alternatives to disappear, thus making the car compulsory. So first the capitalist state allowed the rail connections between the cities and the surrounding countryside to fall to pieces, and then it did away with them.
These splintered cities are strung out along empty streets lined with identical developments; and their urban landscape (a desert) says, “These streets are made for driving as quickly as possible from work to home and vice versa. You go through here, you don’t live here. At the end of the workday everyone ought to stay at home, and anyone found on the street after nightfall should be considered suspect of plotting evil.” In some American cities the act of strolling in the streets at night is grounds for suspicion of a crime.
No means of fast transportation and escape will ever compensate for the vexation of living in an uninhabitable city in which no one feels at home or the irritation of only going into the city to work or, on the other hand, to be alone and sleep.
I decided to give it a try over the weekend on a road trip, through the apps Organic Maps and Go Map!! I really liked Go Map!! except that it crashes occasionally, and won’t restart until your reinstall it :( loosing all the GPS tracks and unsubmitted data :(( If it was more stable, I’d recommend it to everyone.
Use KeePass!! It’s an opensource, offline if you’d like, password manager that doesn’t trust any third party servers to manage your sensitive information. https://keepass.info/
Also check out lemmyverse.net for a comprehensive collection of instances and communities. After you find one you like, copy the link into your home instance search, wait a second or two for the result to appear (or refresh after a sec) and then you can subscribe to new communities.
PeerTube is awesome. Also its federated with lemmy!
Time to go to PeerTube. (federated! Bonus)
Might as well go Youtube to PeerTube
That’s a super interesting project. For anyone else, the project overview has some great system level diagrams:
