I like having congee or pho for breakfast

Sometimes I have fried rice with chinese sausage and eggs

Pan-fried Salmon, Miso Soup, and Rice is good too

I personally like both Posteo and mailbox.org, but they are paid email services.

You can use them for your email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. On Android, you can use Davx5 to sync them.

Magic Earth is not an open source app. They haven't released any source code. Mentioning it as the OP title is about open source maps app.

Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.

That being said, I love using Magic Earth for driving. It works quite well as long as your area is up-to-date on OSM

I personally have to toggle on Exploit protection compatibility mode in App info to get some of my banking apps to work

1/3rd of our backyard is native plants, and other 2/3rd is concrete. We have a table in the back that we normally like to hang during the day instead of staying inside. Sometimes reading, playing games on laptops, chatting, eating, etc.

We decided to let our backyard grow wild for a few months. Now we keep getting a lot of ten-lined June beetles, moths (lots of morning-glory plume moths), bees, blister beetles, lacewings, katydid, stink bugs, earwigs, among other bugs.

Never seen a ten lined June beetle until we did this. Their hissing freaked me out the 1st time I saw them. And their grips are so strong when trying to get them off our backyard curtain that we use to block the sun. They are pretty cool looking though, and huge!

We haven't sat outside really in a couple months now because it isn't that enjoyable when there are so many bugs around you, sometimes crawling on you, and sometimes ending up in my teacup or on my food plate. We're probably going to cut it back again and maintain it more so that we can actually use our backyard again

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection

It's available on Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, and the web.

I play them on my phone to pass time.

And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

Oh wow. That community is just hateful

As a kid, I had no such issues. Games couldn't be updated post launch, so they had to be good or they'd fail. I miss those launches...

Idk... As a gaming kid in the 90s, I always wished companies could fix the bugs in their games or rebalance stuff. I was so happy when computer gaming started having patches available.

This was such a great time loop movie

It lets you have all of your emails offline as well. If you have to reference an older email, it's faster than loading the webpage again.

Some desktop email clients lets you manage your emails, contacts, tasks, and calendars all in one program, which loads immediately instead of loading multiple web pages. This is why I love Evolution and Thunderbird.

If you have multiple email accounts, it's easier to use an email client, rather than having to log into multiple websites.

The search function in some web interfaces suck.

Some people just don't like their email provider's web interface.

I don’t know why Thunderbird can’t get a reliable, functional search ability. It’s such garbage. I constantly have to delete my entire search index and start from scratch, it is immensely frustrating.

Maybe see if Betterbird's search works better for you

They get the traffic data from some third party, not by following their users like gmaps.

https://www.magicearth.com/faq-en/

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it's not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

They have a good privacy policy though. I haven't really had many issues with their app.

 

The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.

Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they'll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don't want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said, "…Advertising has an opportunity to be a meaningful driver of growth for us." He then continued, "…we have teams internally in the company right now looking at how we do very thoughtful implementations inside of our game experiences."

 

Does anyone know if a Linux program that is similar to URLCheck?

For URLCheck, you can set it as your default browser on Android, and when you click a link, it'll open up there first. It can go through all of the redirects for you, and lets you edit the URL before opening it in another web browser. Useful for removing tracking referrals as well if the user wants.

For Linux, I'd be happy with a program that I can paste the URL into to do all of this, it doesn't have to have the ability to be a default web browser. I'd prefer to not have to use Waydroid for URLCheck.

URL when clicking on an email

URL after it goes through the redirects

URL after clicking the X for parameters to clean it up
