matrixrunner,

You can copy addresses with OsmAnd+. They have options to include GeoCoords with, too.

f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/

There is a version on the Google Play store which has voice prompts for navigation, which this F-Droid version doesn’t.

Welp, I guess they’ll have to delist YouTube too; most diverse and accessible music source RN.

matrixrunner,

I mean, sure, unless somehow the dad-bod cop in the picture is a heavily disguised Carmelita Fox.

matrixrunner,

Android Studio is a fork of IntelliJ IDEA, which is open sourced and free software (under Apache 2.0), with additions from Google (proprietary and closed source, as far as I can tell), so it has components that are both. This is compatible with the Apache license, which doesn’t require that derivative works be distributed under the same license.

So, ultimately, Android Studio has some components that are open source and some that aren’t.

Yes, one can assert that a principle is useful, but that is not the same as asserting a specific claim. The point being made is about buttressing claims with supporting reason and evidence, not that making an uncomplex statement can be casually thrown out.

A different expression of the same idea is the (relatively new, but still not as recent as the 20th century) Latin phrase “Quod gratis asceritur, gratis negatur” – loosely “That which can be easily asserted can be easily negated”. The criticism is again of the support for the specific claim being made.

The point that unifies these two statements is that it takes effort to produce a robust, defensible, truth claim. What the Latin describes as an “easy” assertion, Hitchens can be read to imply as being lazy i.e. that gathering evidence and clear reason takes time and energy.

As to this principle itself, I would have difficulty arguing that it is easy to produce a valid truth claim without at least some effort. Brandolini’s Law is an observation that it is easy to produce false or misleading information and difficult to refute the same. This is, again, just a distilled observation of a pattern, and the argument supporting it regresses to gathering as much bad information as possible, pointing at it, and saying:

“All of that wasn’t checked and because we now have to unlearn these falsehoods, it takes that effort as well as the effort of learning the truth to improve our knowledge from this point.”

Cell connectivity.

A physical internet connection doesn’t have many issues as at all with bulkier formats, but cell networks – especially legacy hardware that is yet to be upgraded – will have more issues sending as much data (i.e. more transmission errors to be corrected and thereby use up more energy, whereas the power cost of transmission error correction for cabled networks is negligible).

This. 👆

I’m committed right now to a Win 10 AME and EndeavourOS Dual Boot, and back when I first started running such a setup, Windows (8, 8.1, 10) would always overwrite the boot sector with it’s own loader when installed. You can get a dual boot from grub working by deliberately partitioning before installing Windows, then whichever Linux, making sure to install grub during. I gave up on that hassle after one round and now I just use separate drives for each OS.

matrixrunner,

More than 10 years redditor here – probably close to 11 or 12, can’t say for sure. API changes and the consequent death of RiF pushed me out.

What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you’d...

matrixrunner,

Soul Bubbles is a puzzle-action game released for the NDS. You encase the souls of the departed in magic bubbles and blow them around levels to help them to the afterlife, dodging spiky terrain, marauding creatures, and wind currents.

It might have gotten more attention if its production run wasn’t so small and it wasn’t sold exclusively at Toys 'R Us.
