UPDATE: BTW, I’ve found some experimental support in CoMaps - supposedly, haven’t tried it https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/src/branch/main/docs/EXPERIMENTAL_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_SUPPORT.md May be broken easily due to the experimental status of course…

UPDATE2: Tried Moovit, it still works without google services, whoray! … And still asks money or fills me up with ads to the brim, also as before…

UPDATE3: and it doesn’t allow putting GPS coordinates in the search field, unfortunately. This adds some churn if you’re switching between CoMaps and back…

UPDATE4: actually in Melbourne, Moovit didn’t find anything. Google Maps does. Not sure why this happens. Google Maps in a browser tab is also an option if things get dire…

Oh wow, that’s a lot of useful information, huge thank you! Since as you’re indicating it’s the GTFS data underneath, I’ll try Moovit, which last time I checked worked even on my de-googlified phone (GrapheneOS without google services). Thanks again! 💚

Based on the comments so far, maybe something like this makes sense:

Warning: Private messages in Lemmy are not End-to-End encrypted, so the respective instance owners are technically able to read them. Please use a platform with E2E encryption for private messaging. Lemmy recommends Element.io and XMPP.

I agree. That’s why I propose to clarify the wording.

Yes. And I think saying “messages in Lemmy are not End-to-End encrypted” is clearer communication than “messages in Lemmy are not secure”.

Congratulations to the team and to everyone who supports the project!

Thanks for the response! I think I’d personally try something like that, but I have no idea whether it’ll stick.

Overall, the idea of a significantly simpler (than HTML) protocol sounds intriguing, especially to break the google chrome near-monopoly.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the response!

Such a thing exists in Amsterdam as well. From what I’ve read, it helps against poisoning etc quite a lot.

Does that sound legit? 😮
(I currently live in Europe, considering to move to AU. I’d rather have a realistic overview, with ups and downs presented fairly, so I’m curious.)

I wanna use JXL locally. It’s quite amazing technologically, you can losslessly compress a JPEG to 0.8 or so of the original size.

I compress my photos for long-term storage anyway, so why not do it with JXL.

Thanks for the app recommendation!

(Fossify is a fork of the discontinued SimpleMobileTools.)

Personally, I’ve found Fossify Gallery so far: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ Tried it out, it works well. Any other recommendations would be nice, too.

Signal, for example, does not support JXL as of today. But saving the photo and opening in Fossify Gallery works.

I’m using disroot a bit and I’m interested to understand this, however, what is an “html capsule”? Or should I split the sentence differently, e.g. “gemini/html” capsule? (I’ve tried searching some of those terms, but I’m getting a lot of wrong hits I think.)

Also, how does it differ from lemmy? I mean, lemmy’s pretty lightweight from what I can tell.

If I’m not the target audience for this question feel free to tell, I don’t claim that I am but I’m interested in understanding

If you’re in Europe or in the UK, and if you choose to NOT have coreboot, you can buy for half the price from PCSpecialist. I’ve been using them since 2020, totally recommend. The model that I had (Lafite pro 14) with an identical CPU, twice as much memory as reviewed (64Gb) costed just over 1k EUR in 2024. The build quality is very good.

But again, it won’t have coreboot, which is a significant downside. So I’m not saying anything against the reviewed notebook.

I’m personally new to reddit. Do you have any recommendations on what to do with posts that you think waste your time or provide disinformation? Unsubscribe from the author? (But that would not be scalable if communities and new people join.) Unsubscribe from groups [that don’t have moderation policies you align with]? But then I’d be pushing towards gated communities or something like that…

Any recommendations?

It’s notable that the article focuses heavily on the eco impact. However, that’s only half of the story. The other half is how enjoyable cities can be when public transport complements cars and bicycles. Being on the street becomes actually nice. Your kids can bike to school themselves and not die on the first intersection. That sort of stuff. It’s absolutely amazing to live in countries/cities that mastered this

Good to know! I was really eyeing Triodos back in the day, due to what looked like a good ethical stance, but it didn’t work out at the time. Nice that they’ve fixed it! (I’ve updated my message above as well to include the bank.)
