I only managed to use my Nvidia card with the latest drivers:

[2019] An exposed database tracked whether 1.8 million Chinese women were “breed ready”:

That's super creepy

Great points above. To add even more, Google is purposefully misleading user when designing user interfaces [0] [1]. Like language, user interface is affecting how we think.

Which only a hard-fork could fix, and who have the resources to fight that.

I watched Brax a bit, and many of his technical assessments are incorrect. He has an attitude of a snakeoil salesmen. Hard pass.

Not the case when using https://github.com/roddhjav/apparmor.d/blob/main/apparmor.d/...

Without even checking your stats, every stat from tightly controlled territories is juked. Only fifth chief statistician under stalin held his position after four previous were educated on how to count with a firing squad. USSR "prevailed against imperialism" the same way, until it didn't.

But when it comes to owning a home in China, you can't do it - because you can't own the land, only lease it. So effectively, anything could happen with your home.

Then, construction in China is a pyramid scheme. Highly praised amount of infrastructure and empty ghost cities is an effect of that [0]. Combine that with rampant corruption (guanxi)[1] and culture of corner-cutting (chabuduo)[2], and you will end with bridges and multi-story buildings crumbling like sand, waiting to collapse at any moment.

All of that with an addition of aging population due to half-witted decisions of delusional, unchecked power (one child policy) leaves China with construction it wont be able to maintain, not even with immigrants, because of recent decisions of tribal nationalism[3][4].

Trends are saturated about China's prosperity and superiority. But if you want actual prosperity - you cant rely on algorithms alone.[5]

With your stats you imply that a person could feel safe owning a home in China. Could you feel safe accounting for all of that?

And it's a proper way to use computer nowadays.

Apart from high-overhead solutions like VMs and containers, there are seamless and maintenance-free solutions (after the initial setup):

- systemd service hardening [0] [1]

pretty powerful, but it's a blacklist approach - whack-a-mole

- AppArmor [2]

Whitelist, proactive approach. Contrary to SElinux, it's not a programming language, and could be grasped pretty quickly. I made a tool to easily convert AA logs into usable rules. [3]

https://streetcomplete.app - basic task-based, on-the-ground, app for Android

https://every-door.app - intermediate on-the-ground app for smartphones

https://rapideditor.org - AI-assisted mapping in browser

https://www.hotosm.org - task-based mapping in browser

https://josm.openstreetmap.de - advanced editor for desktop (this post)

https://www.comaps.app - actually use the map with ability to make minor changes


I wish Streetcomplete had an ios app. The ios editors are all far too cluttered and hard to use on mobile. I've almost been considering making my own editor like streetcomplete but as a web app so it's cross platform.


There's progress being made on an iOS app for StreetComplete.

https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421


Oh that's awesome, Looks like I'll just wait and see then.


iOS has Go Map! Which from my understanding is a very powerful mobile editor.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!!


The problem is "very powerful" is the opposite of what I want in a mobile editor. I've tried some of the existing options but they are just not ergonomic to use. I want to fill in missing details with an easy to use spacious UI, not have a fully functional GIS mapping tool squished on to a phone screen while I'm standing on a busy street with sun glare on the screen.

Street complete has that perfected.


https://every-door.app/ is very usable for quick edits, Go Map!! has a steeper learning curve.


Are you aware of https://mapcomplete.org/ ? Web-based and thematically focused.


One of the great things about StreetComplete is that it works perfectly offline.


Working on it! There's a mostly functioning but somewhat buggy slop "probe" branch: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/pull/7068 we used to discover the remaining blockers, and I've been clearing those blockers in my MapLibre Compose library while working through a non-slop port of the map in https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/pull/7088

I made a few dozen contributions from my iPhone while out on a walk last week.



I skimmed the docs for this but couldn't find an answer: Is there something that says what each of those services is actually for and what the trade-offs are for disabling them? Clearly not all of them are strictly bloatware. (Some people probably need com.android.bluetoothmidiservice.)


Yes, you can use Canta[1]. When you select an app, it also provides you with some info (sometimes a bit vague) about what the app does. I used it to debloat my Oppo X9 Pro.

Well known application, but i chose to do things manually in my way and without puter at all


Problem is, smart devices are heavily subsidized in an expectation for future profit from data collection.
