The interface is so much cleaner and soo much faster, both the UI and the map rendering, especially on some less powerful devices.

OsmAnd is full of feature and a beautiful app, but the interface is very complex and at times quite cluttered. CoMaps has more compressed map files, faster and (objective opinion) better looking render, is faster to load and uses less battery. I use them both for different goals.

CoMaps is great if you just want to open a map and see where you are, what is around you, which paths you can take, where the nearest water is and what are the landmarks around you, all without complex UI widgets and complex search, just a plain simple (beautiful) map.

But if a civilization is peaceful, would it exterminate another just because they are a threat? It seems quite ruthlessy egoistic. Maybe they would just intervene at some specific point, without extermination but by somehow gatekeeping our expansion and letting us live without spreading evil.

Imagine if alien life is common in the universe, but we are so ruthless and evil as a species compared to every other alien species they just don't want to have anything to do with us.

Where do you think today's problems come from? Bad education makes a generation of ignorant, functionally illiterate, warmongering subjects.

The most annoying thing is it blasting "battery low" every 30 seconds when the battery gets below 20%, making them absolutely unusable. At least Sony lets out a ver short beep to let you know, and only twice

Microsoft lied, when they announced Windows 10 they said it would be the last windows version ever. That's false advertisement and they should not be allowed to do it.

Also forcing arbitrary requirements for compatibility (that can be disabled so they are not real requirements) in order to buy nww devices needlessly should not ne allowed.

When you bought an album you owned it for life. With spotify you are borrowing the music and if you stop paying you get nothing left

10 or so years ago, Steam accepted payments in Bitcoin, for some reason they stopped, so they certinaly can do that but chose not to.

Also, 99% of people would not use it so wouldn't change much.

If you use a vpn you appear as a non-uk user, you don't have to show the ID. If you don't have an existing account, the only reliable source of geolocation for websites is your ip address, so a vpn can effectively circumvent that.

That's not what I'm saying, a healthy diet consists of different sources of calories. There's no "better source than others", you need all in different quantities. Some are worse in excess, but you still need all for a balanced nutrition.

Everything is bad in excessive, especially oils and fats given their high calory content. Sugar may be ""worse"", doesn't mean fats are good
