I don’t get it.

How is that a problem to people wanting to work on or work with Bitwarden? Or am I misunderstanding the wording on it?

It just seems to say that you cannot rip this SDK out to use it on something else. Which makes sense as far as an internal library goes, at least on the surface?

It’s… okay?

In fact no, it’s by-far the best Google Maps alternative I’ve used so far, this clears OsmAnd+ easily. However, it still has quite a way to go. I can see why it’s awesome for hiking, but this has some interesting side effects.

For example, I noticed right away that it cannot search for specific places in non-downloaded maps. This might seem like a “duh”, but the maps around here seem extremely fine-grained, so I need to first search for the town, then download the map, then search for the street and address, then I can navigate. Oh no wait I cannot, I need to also download maps for all places in-between.

This makes complete sense for hiking, where I’m confined to a - comparatively - small area and want to pre-download this, at all times, always. And also don’t really “search” for a specific address to route to beforehand, rather for a general area and then just get the map.

And of course, the quality of navigation is… adventurous. But I expected that, that’s just something GMaps has a huge starting advantage at, and this clears what OsmAnd+ does and honestly feels better than Apple Maps, too. Though that’s maybe not high praise, as in this area of the world Apple Maps is like getting lost only you use a smartphoen to do it.
Still, it’s the second best I’ve seen. And for an open source app, that’s an insane feat.

Hugely impressed, TY OP. Never heard of this before.

And then in the web app, you need to do this complicated hold-LMB-then-select-from-list to select something, making just browsing really difficult.

Or is there a better way of doing that? I lack a good way to just browse Openstreetmap.

That’s a good point actually, if it’s not paid-for, then assuming it’s accurate it’s actually a better way of describing to a driver what to do.

I remember a fair few years ago, when Google Maps was already a thing but smart phones were not, we were bewildered at how helpful this thing for printed Google Maps instructions was where it prints a little photograph of each turn you need to do, how it will look to you when you get there. This was the best feature ever, as it made it so easy for your second person checking the route to know when to actually take a turn or not.

They already have. Have you noticed the number of ads shown on google maps?

No? I’ve never seen any ads on Google Maps, though this might be a local thing. I suspect this is different in the US where “consumer rights” gets you a fine for speaking such communist propaganda?

What impetus would most people have to mentally even start considering replacing Google Maps?

Much like with making people switch to Firefox as a browser, the first step to a tech user is understanding that to most non-tech users, the concept of thinking about a browser choice makes no sense, as their goal is to open a web page, and the specifics between now and the web page being opened are irrelevant. It’s equivalent to making non-DIY people care about the specifics of the brand of the hammer at home, it’s not like they couldn’t, but the very idea of doing that would usually leave them looking at you bewildered, as it feels arcane to invest brain time into a tool this simplistic and invisible.

“Quiet quitting” 😂

Because yeah, you only do the job they pay you for, how dare you!

Yeah but due to the extra indentation in the second image, the python party doesn’t work.

Are we back in time 30 years when resettable systems were a new thing and controversial?

Did the fax go down from CrowdStrike? No. The superior communication medium!

From what I understand this was pushed as a critical fix to all but a few Falcon Sensor versions, i.e.: this goes directly onto each endpoint checking in.

We are lucky they only fucked up one of the OS updates. Imagine if all of them had the same bug…

In which case you could also go right-click -> properties -> security -> advanced -> click change where it lists the owner.

It’s not as quick but hey, mouse-driven UI exists.

Yeah like, complain about the one thing MS is finally improving in recent years, clamping down on non-admin users and non-admin permissions.

And to be fair, like always, good marketing is genius stuff.

But it also feels rare. I suspect precisely because C-suite and upper management love to mess with it, so the rote marketing approach gets normalized, which in turn drives all the decent marketing people away.

It’s called Chinese Room and it’s exactly what “AI” is. It recombines pieces of data into “answers” to a “question”, despite not understanding the question, the answer it gives, or the piece sit uses.

It has a very very complex chart of which elements in what combinations need to be in an answer for a question containing which elements in what combinations, but that’s all it does. It just sticks word barf together based on learned patterns with no understanding of words, language, context of meaning.

Yeah that’s my point, too. AI employing companies should be held responsible for the stuff their AIs say. See how much they like their AI hype when they’re on the hook for it!

Hey, nobody is stopping your country from enforcing things like the EU.

I mean I was originally angry about this toss-up, but since it hit an investment company… good guy Google?

I’m confused now.

You either never worked with anything that did actual agile (to be fair, most don’t) or you haven’t done development in a long time if you think that.

Also isn’t Manor Lords plodding along fairly well? Who cares if they take a long time, better release done than Ubisoft.
