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!

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.

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.

The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.

I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.
