Hmm recently my device was experiencing a massive battery drain for a few days there but I haven’t noticed it so much lately…is this related? I’m running accubattery now to see if my battery suddenly got worse or something compared to when it was a new device

Obsidian ain’t that bad, its pretty overkill and not exactly open source but it is nice when I’m using syncthing with it and have access to community plugins, I just noticed recently umbrel even added a obsidian app to their store so self hosting it doesn’t seem like a crazy issue to me idk about if self.st has obsidian on it or not but its an option at least.

Yes this needs to be higher up in this thread, it is basically just a bunch of not even thst good scripts being elevated to an os, and now they are getting lots of money for it, there is so much weird sketchy fishy stuff happening here and this should not be allowed to happen lol

The main important thing that these other maps alternatives don’t do good enough for me is to have enough live-ish updates of changing conditions and status of things happening in an erea, this is only something thst I think will happen if it hits a critical mass like with Google maps and its ability to know stuff from googling.

I don’t think I’m gonna step back to what are just fancier looking paper maps on my phone just because I don’t like google. an alternative to me needs to replace Google’s situational awareness, not merely its navigation.

Is there a way to make this happen? Like to me Google maps feels like a geography based portal into Google search that happens to also do the useful thing of navigation, I’d want some way for these maps alternatives to have information in them compiled from search indexes somehow.

I know thst exists already to some extent but its been wrong often enough in my experience to not trust it so this is why I think there needs to be some sort of fancier backend system for federating networks effects from internet resources if thst makes sense. Like if there was more incentives for contributions to happen from things where this infornation is more likely to change such as in buildings and traffic intersections, guerrilla data logging anyone? Haha

Doesn’t graphene os have its own android auto app that is stripped of tracking and proprietary crap? Does this do something different or is it just meant to be a way to make android auto work with microg?

Hmm I always thought Linus did this to try to stress test Linux and other things they review, because you know a tech youtuber would more than likely have no trouble making something happen if they wanted to even if they had to get someone else to do it or it took awhile…the idea is they want to help improve it by trying to make things difficult and if it fails to be difficult then they have succeeded. Same thing with their recent ai pc build video, he’s putting in unfiltered prompting to try to get answers and it half worked, which is pretty good thst this was able to work imo.
