@klara "organic maps" seems nice so far. search is a little funky though
@aeva @klara I also had good experiences with Organic Maps. I find it very nice for walking directions and searching for public amenities like drinking fountains, fitness stations and public bathrooms near me, the openstreetmaps data is very good at this and having all the info available offline is great.
I can't use it for public transportation though so I still use other apps most of the time.

@griotspeak "not available"
@griotspeak if you've got any idea where I could buy one though...

@aeva Oh no. Well if you don’t find something suitable… I might possibly consider parting with mine. I don’t use it as much as I should. Not a promise but yeah
@griotspeak I'll figure something out. you should hang on to yours, it seems like a precious thing

@aeva I didn’t understand how precious until just now, I guess. Sorry! Didn’t mean to get hopes up

had enough of google's bullhockey. trying out random osm map apps on fdroid
@aeva That phrasing without context...

i ordered some dongles so I can listen to music on the new phone (or be able to hear anything at all in phone calls womp womp), but honestly i'm giving serious consideration to getting a dedicated mp3 player
I like how this e-ink mp3 player *almost* nails the look of a plain white cardboard box with a halfassed pen drawing of a smart phone ui drawn on it https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Protect-Charging-Portable-Outdoor/dp/B0FDG4T3GH
i wonder how hackable it is 🤔

makes me wonder how hard it would be to build a mp3 player in a small white box with buttons halfassedly drawn on it. stuff an arduino into it. maybe there's some way to make the buttons work via capacitance?

like imagine, you see someone on the train wearing a pair of KSC75s plugged into what looks like a deck of cards wrapped in inkjet paper, drawn on with a sharpie to say "M3Ps" on the back, just "back, forward, play, pause, stop" written on the front. maybe a box drawn for a fake screen with a smiley face drawn inside it

actually come to think of it I could just hide regular clicky buttons behind the paper...

@aeva i think most Arduinos are too weak for audio playback

@aeva you can get cheap Chinese MP3 players for less than 10 quid btw if you know where to look

@ratsnakegames they've got some fancy ones these days, but an rpi would probably be fine too

@ratsnakegames there's a great abundance of suspiciously cheap mp3 players on amazon, I just don't know that I want an ipod clone that isn't open hardware

it would be neat if I could get it down as smol as a match box, but I don't think I have the m4d skillz needed to figure that out

@aeva we're interested in whatever you learn about capacitative controls, we've also wondered that sort of thing

this looks promising on the "smol" front https://store.arduino.cc/products/dfplayer-a-mini-mp3-player

@ireneista I'll post about it for sure if I pursue it

@ludicity it's just a bonus that it's an order of magnitude faster, has a standard library that's so good you barely need anything else (and what you do bring in from third party libs is mostly made by grownups who write clear, concise, no bullshit, code), and has a memory footprint that's dramatically smaller.
It's such a low bullshit language, I can't imagine using anything else for web services and web app backends.

@liberotoncello premetto che pur auspicando un boicottaggio USA, io voglio mollare WA per il suo disprezzo per la privacy. Signal è americano, ma ciò non toglie che al momento sia il miglior compromesso, perchè serve a poco avere un'App super etica se poi non la usa nessuno.
Consiglio alcune letture

@ludicity deploying large mostly Python (but also Node.js, and others) apps in a ridiculous variety of places has been a huge part of my job for the past...well, forever, and I'm really good at it. I'm the person everyone asks for help when they can't make it work and when ChatGPT can't make it work.
All of my web projects for the past two years or so are in Go, and I'm slowly migrating old stuff to Go, too. The deployment story alone is enough to make it worth the effort.

@swelljoe I've been making this case on my team for why we shouldn't develop in Python anymore, and they have been very patient but I think deep down they think I'm insane
(But legit I'm not too fussed with language specifics now and am on a big "But what are the deployment/runtime characteristics of whatever you write, assuming we're smart enough to write anything in any language that isn't Brainfuck" arc)

@molly0xfff I really do like blogging and I’ve done it on a few occasions. I just can’t seem something I like to write about consistently. I’m hoping someday something clicks

I really needed to stress out the comment system on my blog so I ask a Linux question.
