  • I tried osmand~ from f droid (which is essentially the paid version) and for browsing it works great. Navigation was pretty bad however. I had a lot of issue where when I click to find a route to an address it would get stuck and never route. Also in my testing, it would take you some pretty bizarre routes where I couldn’t trust it. I am unfortunately back to Google maps that I dowloaded through the aurorastore using as anonymously as I can without any Google account on my device.



  • I am generally uninformed on this conflict beyond reading a a synopsis or history for the pass century or so this week, the agenda on either side seems pretty blatant from the media outlets. Now I haven’t seen Israeli media directly but seeing what us centric media is reporting My god, I watched fox news and they were basically foaming at the mouth and showing the same clips and had a woman that would say the same thing every few hours trying to dehumanize the other side. I watched al Jazeera last night for a few hours and they frame the attack on Saturday as a counter attack (forever recursively correct) overlook what happened as much as possible and frame context to give it a morality pass and generally are trying to downplay how western media is reporting it… I took a look at who owns al Jazeera, it’s state run media from Qatar. We all know foxnews is basically ultra conservatives circle jerk. It’s two sides slinging shit. However, al Jazeera seems to point out the lack of Israeli media allowing any western reporting of what’s really happening in gaza which I 100% agree with. It’s good to get perspective on either sides but to me both western and Arab centric outlets are obviously pushing their agendas.

    I acknowledge my ignorance on the complexities on this issue and am only providing my take as someone trying to understand this issue from the woefully biased reporting surrounding this issue.



  • What’s amusing is I am purposely not paying for bitwarden because of the check against darkweb leaks or whatever type feature when you pay. That’s seems like an anti privacy thing. I understand it’s a good idea albeit seems to expose a lot of information about you. I would like to do vaultwarden but don’t think I can trust self hosting myself without paying monthly for a vps which I don’t want to do. Home Internet hosting seems to unreliable to me for something that important.

    Just random thoughts of mine here.

    I scrum. You scrum. He she me scrum. Scruming. Scrumology. It’s first grade SpongeBob.

    I for one just look at my sprint and scrum meetings as pie in the sky goals and just keep working on the task I’m doing with the sprint goals as a “lol”. If I was to follow the sprint goals and deadlines nothing would be working correctly.
