  • Can't we do anything as google is killing AOSP and custom ROMS

  • I'm not expecting perfect matches, but what is considered basic proper functionality. Expecting a navigation app that is not just on par (or even worse) with a 25 year old TomTom is really not setting the bar high or expecting too much IMO.

    And I do still use inferior apps to avoid big tech, but the constant shortcomings (some minor, some major) is extremely annoying, so yeah I'm venting some of that.

  • Passing strong integrity check isn't always enough. My banking and government 2FA still don't work on rooted devices (or graphene with locked bootloader and play services)

  • Yeah i disagree that FOSS should be given extra slack just because...

  • Yes but that's the nuisance you don't want with an application specifically made to make navigation easier. I want good simple workflows, not shitty clunky workarounds.

  • I don't know what Wegmans is, but all the places I've tested so far was found, even small local artisanal shops in the town I live in.

  • rooting your phone gives you ability to fake a lot of the requirements to make stubborn apps run.

    Rooting also completely breaks the ability to run some apps with no recourse for spoofing the fact that it's a rooted device.

  • I'm in Scandinavia and haven't had issues with gmaps routing. The routing of OsmAnd is fine, but the navigation visualization is insanely bad, when you turn your phone horizontal they fill the whole screen with basically useless blank bars both at the top and bottom instead of just showing the map and turn-by-turn instructions in a corner like gmaps. That combined with the less than useless searching (if you don't know the specific address of a place you're pretty much SOoL) makes it really bad IME.

  • I'm not sure what you mean by "aggressive routing"?

  • What is a good alternative that actually does navigation and searches on places as well as gmaps? I've been using OsmAnd and it's absolutely dogshit compared to it. Even the navigation, the arguably most important part, is pretty bad.

    Edit: actually spent some time looking again, and CoMaps does this quite well. This is replacing OsmAnd+ for me.

  • I'm looking for a new router and some APs as well, and this one seems to offer what I want at a somewhat decent price point...but good lord that thing is seriously ugly, everything about it is just terrible.

    Edit: oh it doesn't do POE, then it's not interesting as an AP

  • Looking for suggestions: Task scheduler ideally with reminders

  • I use an app called Everyday Tasks, it's just local on my phone, no need for hosting anything.

  • Do you agree with the list?

    Jump

  • Yes it probably makes a small dent in the environmental benefit, but uncomfortable public transit is an even bigger disadvantage because then people take cars instead.

  • Do you agree with the list?

    Jump

  • Same where I live in Scandinavia. Apart from massive investments in public transit, creating massive unused overhead capacity most of the time, I don't think it's possible. But I do take public transport to/from work and the worst thing, by far is sitting/standing shoulder-to-shoulder I absolutely hate it.

    Trains actually running on time would be a nice second thing to fix, I don't think I have ever taken public transit on my commute that wasn't delayed.

  • Do you agree with the list?

    Jump

  • How exactly can we make public transport less overwhelming though?

    Fewer people per sqm I busses and trains would help a lot.

  • What's the benefit here? Regular HDDs have more than enough speed for watching movies/series, why not store directly in the "library"?
