While Shelly wifi devices can use their cloud, it's optional. By default cloud is disabled, you can even make them report to your own MQTT server.

Its original idea is actually interesting. Influencers always share perfectly composed scenes of their life, so it seems like they are always traveling, always doing something interesting. This app asks you at random times to please share what you are actually doing at that moment, it sends a notification when you should share, it has a window of some minutes to take a photo. You never know when the next bereal notification will show up. You can be sure, if someone always shares something interesting from their life constantly is not just faking it, it's actually real.

I never used it, but some of my friends do, so this is based on their explanations.

You should assume that whatever you upload to the internet without encryption is public. Bereal was always advertised as a tool for sharing your life with others, so this isn't unexpected for me. The only misleading part is that if you share with friends only, it's not just your friends, but also the service provider, so you should assume that it may leak. I never used bereal so I'm not familiar with its features, some of my friends use it and I just heard about it from them. From their description it didn't sound as an app where you should expect privacy.

Is Lemmy a privacy nightmare? No, because you know that everything is public here, admins can even see your DMs.

Do not share private data on the public internet

People are different, different people like different things, and they care about different features of a device.

I never had any apple device, but I help a lot other people with iphones and macs, and I have to tell you they are just devices. I'm familiar with their features, but I don't care, this whole thing is only about you. If you want an iphone buy one. If you don't want one, just move on, life is too short for getting mad about unnecessary thing like this.

Mentions of Lemmy communities only work in top toots on Mastodon. Otherwise Mastodon users could spam Lemmy unintentionally very easily. You can also mention only one community in a top toot, so you can't post the same toot to multiple communities.

Afaik Mastodon devs are working on a group implementation, so this will improve in the future.

Because no one should rely on that, they recommend to fully automate renewal with a script or some other programs.

Wouldn't it be better to replace the full rom at this point? You trust other parts but not the dialer?

What I'm trying to say, if you think your built in dialer is a spyware, it's very likely other components of the rom could be spyware as well, and you don't gain too much by replacing only this component.

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Wdym spyware? Isn't the stock dialer comes from aosp and it's open source? Or your rom doesn't use that one?

Here is a section of a map from 1823, it shows the buildings built on top of that, note the circular shape:

Map of Old Buda, 1823

Same map browsable here, change the opacity on the top right to see current aerial photo.

According to some legends it was used as a fort in the middle ages, bu afaik no archeological remains support this.

Another map from 1878, with more details, it shows the contours of the buildings:

Actually we have a tag for old names like this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:old_name

But if it only existed for such a short time I'm not sure if it's significant enough to map it after it was closed. If it would have been already mapped while it was open it would make sense, but if no one ever cared about this before?

You can add a note if you think it's important enough, local mappers will have to decide.

I don't know how the osmand snapshot were wrong, though I never used this manual offline download feature.

As I see you haven't created notes for these problems yet, I created them for you. You can see them here:

I updated Bierfabriek Amsterdam from your description, in this changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/165840808

Flower Burger was already updated in March to the croissant shop, so you used outdated map data in your app, osm was already fixed months ago. See the history of the node here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1348523661/history

I didn't updated Brouwerij De Engel, as on osm we map only what is currently there. You can check the history of already mapped objects, but mapping what was there is not the scope of the project. If the old name is still visible on the building than it can be mapped, if the signs are already removed, it has no place on osm: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_historic_events_and_historic_features

 

I don't know why Ars Technica has so many civ 7 reviews. Previous one was 2 weeks ago.

TLDR VerdictThe good

  • The ages system helps to solve many longstanding problems with the overall arc of a Civilization game
  • Influence yield makes diplomacy better than it's ever been
  • Tweaks and additions turn building city districts into the full realization of what VI was hinting at but never achieved
  • The visual presentation is excellent, with sprawling, intricate cities and detailed leaders
  • Several additions streamline annoying busywork the franchise is known for without curtailing depth

The bad

  • Content is light even though systems are robust; there are no scenarios at all
  • The final few turns of an age end up feeling wonky
  • You can't rename your cities for some reason

The ugly

  • Some launch-window bugs and other issues might make it worth waiting a few weeks before digging in
