I definitely like Organic Maps the best of the options I've tried, but unfortunately it doesn't have Android Auto support.
It looks like they tried to do Android Auto support about a year ago in a branch, but they abandoned the branch. There is a new "aa" branch that is active though, so hopefully that works out.
If it does get Android Auto support, I will definitely switch to it permanently though!
Hi! I am normally not an active user, but I am definitely someone who spent countless hours watching TV shows. Since I have just recently joined Lemmy, thought I can share my all-time favorite TV shows and maybe be able to get one or two new shows and have a nice discussion about them. Here is the list:...
Just a bunch of publicly posted images I pulled from a retired old washed up link aggregation site in the past to use as backgrounds. (all are 3rd party hosted)...
I got a flagship Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra), and while I have experimented with CodeEdit (a code editor for Android), I was thinking about using something more serious, even VSCode if possible somehow.
Nice! One thing you may want to look into is using vscode.dev. Since VS Code is an Electron app, they can host the entire editor on this site. This effectively means you can code from that 😉
You could also try simply connecting to your normal desktop and using your phone to control it. That's worked for me in the past

'Some people relax with a nice drink by the pool, I relax by playing around with inline [Assembly code],' as a nice quote of the day as Linus Torvalds explained after he took on improving upon a performance optimization patch that was proposed for the ongoing Linux 6.5 merge window.
Data on search engine market share is available, but I wonder what that looks like for Lemmy users in particular, who I would assume lean more technical than the average user, so probably use DuckDuckGo and alternates more than Google....
I'd use Ecosia still if it weren't for the fact that the filter is missing the "last year" setting. I'm a software engineer - 9 times out of 10, I want to find the bugs for a very specific version of a software, so having the year filter helps.
I noticed yesterday there seemed to be fewer and fewer thumbnail images appearing on the front page, and today there seems to be almost none at all. The ones I have seen so far seem to be from posts on this instance only, but I can't confirm that with certainty yet....
I think there's quite a bit to say about cost. I'm not sure how Mongo is, but I'm quite familiar with DynamoDB and it gets quite expensive at scale. I'd be worried it'd be unsustainable, especially since postgres is very cheap most of the time (aka, unless you go with RDS).
Also, I'm sure Postgres can be optimized to work well at kbin's scale (since it has worked on sites with millions of users for years). I'm hesitant to say it's an issue with postgres itself, it may be an issue with the queries to the database (maybe the lock?) or even with database auto-scaling (or possible lack thereof).
Also, kbin's general data seems to be highly relational - articles will always have an author, a title, how many votes it has, how many boosts, and all of the comments on it. I think (personally) SQL makes more sense than NoSQL here for that reason, among the others I've listed.
Gog is doing much better than in 2022. They are making 1.2M dollars in profit. Which is pretty good for such a platform personally. I really like the ideals of GOG, but haven't really used the platform a whole lot....

I was thinking of two songs I've met through anime that are really special to me, namely, "...To You" by Ayako Kawasumi, the opening from the small anime "Piano: The Melody of a Young Girl's Heart"; and "Never Looking Back" by Shizukunome, the second ending to You-Gi-Oh!! SEVENS....
"Kanashimi no mukou he" (悲しみの向こうへ) from School Days. This and the intro are the only redeeming qualities of this anime imo.
Speaking of "only redeeming qualities of the entire anime", Rosario + Vampire's Season II op "Discotheque" is also fantastic and is an honorable mention.

I personally love Alacrity. Fast, written in Rust and pretty stable in my experience. Was able to install zsh and oh-my-zsh, then daily-use Vim no problem!
