It's perfect to me. The version I have from F-droid does forward-is-up when you click "start" after doing a route, but I prefer north-is-up, so I don't click start, and it behaves exactly as I prefer.

It's the first OSM-based map app I've used that can navigate to a number on a street, and it does it perfectly.

The search works perfectly. I live on, lets say, 123 fake street w. If I search "123 fake st.", or "123 fake street", or "123 fake street w.", the correct result always comes up.

It has frequent enough updates to correctly route around road work.

I've struggled through many other open source mapping tools for smartphone since 2013, because I refused to use a proprietary app. This is the first one I recommend to everyone, including non-freedom-minded people.

The TLDR of the article is:

... was not actually about putting the interests of patients against those of rapacious corporations. ... it would have reduced payments for some of the most overpaid physicians in America [Anesthesiologists]

There is a reason Anesthesiologists make a lot of money, and it's not because they are overbilling their time. Is this writer's head completely up their ass, or something?

Providers – not insurance companies – are the primary drivers of high health care costs

Oh, nevermind, it actually seems they're just a complete shill for Managed Care Deniers.

Shame on this website for claiming to be journalism, but not marking this article as opinion, and not marking it as a shitty opinion.

Try going to http://000.000.000.000:8080/ in your web browser (replacing the 0's with your public IP address), on your home connection. If it doesn't work, it means that your port forwarding is probably not working. If the page loads correctly, it means your port forwarding is working correctly, and the problem is probably your ISP doing port blocking.

What options are there? Signal is not viable, because it requires a special type of phone number to sign up, so can't be used on desktop. WhatsApp is proprietary. Matrix took me 8 tries to find a server that would let me sign up, and then the client wouldn't allow me to send private messages.

The title and blurb are both editorializations in support of [email protected]'s anti-South Korean opinion.

Except in social studies class. People should be aware of other people's religions. But each religion should be taught equally, or in proportion to how many members they have. Kids should also be able to learn why people join religions and why religions are persuasive.

Santa's Slay. It's a B movie, and it knows it. But it's good as long as you're drinking spiked eggnog.

I would trust the post by daddybutter on this, since I'm less familiar with Nvidia's products. My favorite benchmark site ranks them as pretty similar.

The current series of AMD GPUs is the Radeon RX 7000 series.

The flagship card is the RX 7900 XTX, nominally $1000 USD. There are multiple graphics cards manufacturers that make these cards, and at least one (PowerColor) has a 7900 XTX card for $850 USD ($1190 CAD). PowerColor is not bad, and I'd probably buy that one if I needed a top quality card. The more reputable brand, Asus, has a 7900 XTX card for $1030 USD ($1442 CAD).

My current best video card has a RX 6950 XT chip. This was the highest grade chip in the RX 6000 series, but I got it after the RX 7000 series came out, so it was only $630 USD. It's currently available for $550. It is pretty good, and can do most games at 1080p on "ultra", and some games on 4k. Usually, CPU or SSD speed (or software quality) make a bigger difference in frame rate for me.

If you plan to game on Linux, I strongly recommend avoiding Nvidia cards, due to lack of good drivers.

Off the top of my head, I think the best chances of survival are: C, A, B. I'm not sure about A vs. C, because A's total odds are hard to calculate in my head, while C is exactly 1/3 (33.33%).

The reason A is better than B is that a 1/6 chance of dying, twice, is better than a 2/6 chance of dying, once. They might seem at first like the same, but consider that one of those 36 chances in the A case is where you get shot twice in a row. That's no worse than a regular death. So it comes out to only 11/36 of dying in the first two rounds of A, but 12/36 of dying in the first one round of B.

spoilerUsing a calculator. it turns out A is actually 0.16% better than C. They're really about the same.

Don't quit. Government workers are entitled to more recourse than normal employees if they are going to be fired. Usually you can't just fire them for no reason.

Quitting would also prevent severance pay.
