I don't know any Lemmy users IRL. I have nudged my friends towards it. My partner has asked me to post things a few times. Just curious.

Edit: running total including the commenter: 32.5 people

I did like the book but I also thought they solved huge problems in a single short chapter with minimal detail.

In one chapter it's mentioned that one of the characters is working on some open source social media. A few chapters later it becomes the dominant social media in the world... oh and also payment method... Oh and blockchain...

Being a big fan of Lemmy, I think the book is a bit optimistic.

If I have photos backed up to Proton Drive, is there any good pipeline to search for a photo based on it's GPS meta data?

I hear rsync works with Proton Drive so, assuming it works for the photo backups, that may be a good starting point to get the photos locally so I can use other software.

I use Proton Drive on Android, installed from the play store. I have >250gb of data with, I think, 10s of thousands of documents. For a few months navigating the file structure was crazy slow, almost 30 seconds for each folder I entered.

I deleted the app and reinstalled and now it's nearly instant for folders I use often.

If I dive deep into a folder tree that I haven't used in months, with a lot of files, it takes ~2 seconds per folder.

It's finally practical to make quick edits to docs using my phone!

In the sidebar you will see that rule 3 is "Avoid politics", as of US election day.

Political posts represent the vast majority of the moderation burden. They tend not to be the fun/quirky/whimsical/goofy/nonsense kind of posts that people enjoy from c/showerthoughts.

Maybe we should make a c/drivewaythoughts or a c/doomscrollingthoughts to fill the void.

The rule will begin 0200 UTC Nov 6, 2024 to be exact, you have 2 minutes, go ham.

As always I'm open to feedback.

EDIT: While I'm editing the sidebar. I will remove the "Be good to others" rule because it's redundant to the opening paragraph of Lemmy's Code of Conduct.

EDIT 2: If you want to give anonymous feedback you can report this post and give your feedback in the report. It's anonymous to me at least.

EDIT 3: Here are some good counter points to the new rule:

1. This arguably offers new perspective on an ordinary topic but it's pretty political: https://lemmy.world/post/21997198
2. This post was very popular and remained civil: https://lemmy.world/post/21925102

The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.

So does each language have a fun mnemonic?

When proton first added docs you could only edit them through a browser. I just noticed today that they added it to the android app!

When I first tried OsmAnd a few years ago it was overwhelming, there is so much to customize.

I tried it again recently and it really impresses me.

My OsmAnd ski profile shows me slope for avalanche risk and 3D relief so I don't need Fatmap, plus OsmAnd let's you download 7days of weather.

OsmAnd doing routing on hiking trails replaces my need for Gaia.

Really impressive work by the OsmAnd team.

Here is an article: https://www.thesun.ie/sport/13888559/sao-paulo-blimp-botafogo-copa-libertadores-brazil/

It's a key feature of Google maps that I don't have a great replacement for. I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.
