I suspected that from the speed of development but it works well and it's open source. I have 4 map apps installed and I switch between them all the time.
Tried Vela Maps? It gets traffic and reviews from Google Maps and maps from OSM.
Happy to give the idea away.
The problem is one person wants a complex feature here, another person needs another complex feature there. When you edit book-length texts you need styles, regular expressions in find/replace, plugins for referencing software etc. Interestingly, Word may do bells and whistles, but LO does the first two better than Word, and the third one as well as Word.
I use Markdown a lot for the plain text advantages but to me a huge limitation is that it doesn't do colours and tabs. There are of course people writing books in Markdown, but I find it very limiting and ultimately counterproductive even for note-taking.
I would think that a plastic bag of rice is anything but porous.
IME storing beans in a foil bag that I open and re-open every day accelerates oxidation even though I roll the top to expel all air. I suppose this is less noticeable if the bag runs out very quickly.
Ah, there is another idea for an entrepreneur. Sealing the bottom between uses. I haven't tested this, but instinctively I think not much air will push its way up compared to the air sucked in from the top as beans drop.
I have been doing this and it made things worse because I had to open the bag to get more beans out more often. Expelling the air every time should help though. The best method I've seen is vacuum packing single doses of beans but that's a lot of work.
That's the principle I had in mind. Applying that to the hopper is the poor man's version and there is no need for further interaction with the beans until you have to refill the hopper. When you open your canister fresh air gets in but I suppose pushing it out seconds later minimises exposure to oxygen. Using a bag and rolling the top before you seal it should achieve the same thing at zero additional cost.
That assumes that a gasket would create a vacuum in the hopper over time. I think fresh air will find a way in anyway. Filling that space with a balloon or a bag is simpler. I will be surprised if this hasn't been done already by a grinder or accessories maker. There are plunger canisters already.
There will always be exceptions, but what matters is systemic trends.
Evidenced report after report shows that poverty is rising fast in wealthy countries. In the UK, a G7 economy, people in full time employment doing a decent job (eg teachers) can't afford to buy a home or pay the rent and rely on food banks. Life expectancy is decreasing too. This is the first time this is happening after many decades. You would think that in a G7 economy these people would at least be able to survive, or even thrive. Instead, people have to make a choice between 'heating and eating', and young people are forced to live with their parents in their 30s.
There are many reports on children poverty too. This is not going to end well.
Frankly, the rising standards and choice narratives are not just misguided. They are insulting.
Apparently, the easy way is to install Grub Customizer, but I don’t like PPAs so I disabled the OS Prober instead. The partition is still there but at least I don't see the grub entry.
After nine months of not having booted my Windows even once, I think it's time to wipe the Windows related partitions once and for all and claim the space. The problem is I think the way my partitions are structured, it may not be that easy. I am assuming everything other than the two ext4 partitions will have to go. What do you think? r/linux4noobs -
Someone even suggested I nuked the whole thing and started again, which would be the absolute last resort and only when I ran out of space.
EDIT: In the end, having considered all replies, I decided to go with a compromise. I wiped the NTFS partitions and made an ext4 out of the unallocated space. Then, I moved /home to that new, larger partition and if it all continues working for a day or two, I will wipe the old and smaller /home, which is not mounted now anyway, and use it for storage. This allocation will last me for ages until I have to reinstall the OS, at which point I will use the opportunity to tidy things up. I thought this was not the time to break my system moving partitions. There were some hairy moments (eg when a UUID changed quietly and the system failed to start) but overall it was OK.
Thanks to everyone for the help. This thread was very educational and I hope others will find it useful too. As a sidenote, I posted the same question to a much bigger subreddit and I received very few responses and little help. So, the much smaller Lemmy wins hands down!
