Its a good option but it's centralized, and the phone number thing is disappointing. SimpleX, Session, Briar, Cwtch, are good alternatives. But I get that Signal has most features that i.e. Whatsapp has.

  • Vela Maps? (lemmy.ml)
     

    CoMaps has been my main map for a while now after using Organic Maps, and traffic calculation has alwsys been a downside of open source projects like these.

    I recently stumbled upon Vela Maps, an open source app that uses Open Street Maps, and integrates Google Maps' traffic analytics and place search "anonymously" (logged out browser queries). Not degoogled, but a nice option. How do they do this? What does the CoMaps community think?

    wow i did't know about Vela Maps, looks like an awesome project. solves live traffic calculation, a common downside of CoMaps and Organic Maps through "anonymous" queries to Gmaps. So not exactly de-googled, but its good to have that frontend option.

    true, but for getting a job, it is quite important to be "up to date" woth the field of work. think of what happens to people that are closer to retiring, they're seen as "obsolete" because of this

    When I start my pc, (Nobara 43) Memory is up to 70% usage. I dual boot, but use Windows like 5% of the time. I have a Swap partition (64gb), but it shows 0b usage. Is it safe to kill the windows process? Can anyone shed some light into whats going on? I was starting to think this is sketchy lol

    UPDATE: It most likely was a Winboat process that started up every time :p

    Terminal results of "top" command, highlighting "windows" process using 52.4% of memory.
     

    It's so toxic how Youtube will remove your comment on a video if you mention "Lemmy" or any other suggestion to descentralized alternatives to Technofeudalism. This has also happened to me on Reddit.

    It's frustrating that they treat the fediverse like a trigger word, it drowns the possibility to guide people to new communities.

    Edit: Best guess is the VPN server that I was using was blacklisted. It's weird to believe the word 'Lemmy' or 'Fediverse' is blacklisted as well, but I cant find other reasons.
