Its wild how it took no time at all for the masses to outsource their brains to the first thing that offered the service; no concern at all for the quality of the service either. The last 5 years have just confirmed every shitty thought I've had about humanity over the years.

    I use one main page with only the home row of 5 apps, and one other page to hold my calendar and budget widgets. I use the default app tray to open apps instead of scattering them across screens. Pixel 8 Graphene OS.

    Same here. The only socials I have beyond this are Strava, a few Discord communities for tech support-type stuff and YouTube comments if that counts.

    The Reddit API exodus was the canary in the coal mine for me. My entire technical/social life changed for the better after that.

    Go ahead and be a pessimist all you like. No need to embroil others in your misery. Honestly if you really don't care then why toss shit at someone about their character, as if you're some paragon of virtue? Pick a fucking lane and stick to it.

    Its an extreme event for the average person. Lots of folks are unaware of the danger of overhydration. Combine that with local races where people might be doing their first attempts at longer distance and this starts to become a problem, especially in hotter climates.

    Every year there are people that sign up for races with no prior experience thinking "meh, I could run a half marathon". Guess who shows up with a ton of water, no food, and no electrolytes. The same folks that think they could take a bear in a fight. 🙄

    They might be using OpenStreetMap to populate their map. If that's the case, you should consider updating the map yourself! I update OSM all the time when I go to new places or find discrepancies in the map vs. reality.

    If you contribute something like 30 edits per month (sounds like a lot but if you start adding unmarked footpaths, roads or building footprints to the map you can hit 30 edits in a matter of minutes) you can get free OSMand Pro, a map app for Android. Every time I go on a trip I make sure to hit the edit threshold to grant me Pro access for the month. Lots of great features!
