Nebula is the only thing remotely comparable.

I’m loving it. But its not a “search what you want and you’ll find it” like YouTube is. You can’t search for a video to DIY your bathroom tile.

That alternative simply doesn’t exist.

If you treat it like podcasts i.e. follow creators you like (just about all of them are also YouTubers) theres some excellent content there. And the creators are all stakeholders so no daddy capitalist screwing with algorithms.

PeerTube is the open source federated one. But discovery is next to impossible on it.

The video is either being transcoded or direct streaming (audio only being transcoded). The red line is how far ahead that process is.

Like many parts of the US, we were in serious g danger of massive budget cuts for next year after COVID transit relief dries up.

In Chicago’s case we had three scenarios.

1. Funding does not pass, 40% service cuts everywhere. Devastating

2. 700 million. Status quo, the current schedules remain with the gaps many have been experiencing since ether pandemic.

3. This 1.5 billion. Not without compromises, but very promising to improve reliability and frequency

Instead of real attempts at combating this we just took the capitalistic approach and turned “green” into a bullshit marketing tactic to give people the guise of doing their part when they buy an electric Hummer.

Had to scroll too far for Stratum! The watch app is also why I use it so that I can keep my phone far away from me while I work. Game changer. Surprised more don’t use it.

Ah shit, I’m in the Chicagoland area. I wonder if this affects me. That’s good to know.

Surprised no mention here yet of a Pixel 3a? Both Ubuntu Touch and PostmarketOS seem to run best on it, so I’ve had it on my eBay search notifications for a while hoping to be able to toy with one. I really don’t expect it to be daily driver material though.

Someone else had mentioned Magic Earth but I was under the impression that it was another big tech thing (I guess I was thinking of Google Earth) but you saying it again made me check it out.

Seems like not OSS but their claim of privacy focus actually makes me interested so I’ll try it out! I’m even okay with the small fee, I know servers cost money to run. Glad to see they’re working on a non-Google or Apple payment.

haha I’m with you here, though tbh this is something I would have cared about some years ago but these days with tech fatigue I don’t even mind the Stephen Hawking guidance (I usually have it off anyways).

Thanks for sharing this! I just started using OsmAnd for biking and missed this nice detail.

Google Maps would take me through some awful stroads pretty regularly, so I’ll be glad for a safer route even if it takes longer.

Oh I’m aware of the “Osm” meaning.

I still think it’s a bad name 😅 how does someone unfamiliar with OSM pronounce it? Why is there a tilde?!

Hey thanks for sharing this! I’ll try Bimba. I’m planning on switching to GrapheneOS soon so the less stuff reliant on G services the better, as much as I like the Transit app.

Edit seems like it’s a bit limited on its coverage, with little to speak of in the US :(

Was hoping to get Chicagoland metro area transit.

I’m not sure this is possible without crowd sourced data

The transit app is for public transit. Trains buses etc. I probably should have specified sorry!

But yeah there really isn’t a way around reviews I think I’m going to have to come to peace with that.

By your logic the *arr suite isn’t self hosted either since they rely on metadata cache servers.

In fact Jellyfin relies on external services for their metadata too!

Bit weird to pin it on an age generation

Obviously photoshopped shit like this is a bad look on real issues man come on.

There’s plenty of actual real trash urbanism you can share.
