Well thats shitty, i also didn’t realize freecycle was an organization or entity that had legal rights to the name, thought it was similar to what I originally thought buy-nothing was, just a term used to easily describe the intention of the group.

Back in college when I was more active on Craigslist, they called it freecycle. I always wondered why and where buy-nothing came from, as I was extremely familiar with the term freecycle already.

Are there any mapping apps thats not google maps that has traffic data? I haven’t looked in a while, but last time I did it was a ‘no’ and I’m just shocked this hasn’t really been solved. Either by highjacking google maps data, or using local news data to fill in areas of maps with heavy traffic etc. There’s gotta be some way to solve this.

Like I get it, projects can’t just wholesale use google maps data, they’ll get shut down, but there’s no side loaded plugin you can load to use Google’s traffic data and the project just kind of winks in their github page and says ‘we don’t encourage anyone to use this plugin…’?

sigh the naming of these projects… I know if you’ve been paying attention to development projects then the similarities in naming helps you, you can assume 1 project was forked from another and vaguely already know what the project does, is used for, etc. But for nontechnical newbies I’m sure its confusing as hell having like 4 products all named similarly and you have no idea why or what the difference is and which one to choose.

Anyway, thanks for spelling it out, for anyone confused.

Also an option, you can use some password managers to store 2FA codes. I use KeePassXC to store the 2FA codes and then sync the database across devices with syncthing, but you could use nextcloud or google drive, etc whatever you’d like to sync. That way you don’t need your phone at all for this task.

You seem to know about flatpak so I thought i’d ask this question here, since I couldn’t find much searching online. I’m messing around with postmarketos (which is alpine Linux based and using wayland) at the moment on an old phone, and installed a flatpak version of Joplin. Problem is I can’t get the onscreen keyboard to be triggered when an input field has focus. Any tips to fix this? I’m not sure if its a problem with my set up, or how the flatpak was prepared. So not sure what to do to fix it.

Do you have any git instances that you could share out to help distribute, but also further develop the mod? Github, gitlab, gitea, etc?

Sorry man, still confused, can you explain more?

I’m sorry I’m confused by what you’re hinting at with this reply, you’re going to have to explain further.

You ever watch scifi stuff and its kinda far fetched? Its because they’re envisioning a future that hasn’t happened yet. Its not an ‘edge case’ you just haven’t been affected by it yet.

But for some reason you’d like to take it further. How odd.

Get back to us when your health insurance company kicks you off your plan because your car has been reporting that you’ve been going to the bar 4 nights a week.

Or when your wife starts getting ads when connected to your home network for strippers and strip clubs because you parked the car near a strip club 1 time.

Or when your car starts suspiciously routing you through weird routes on maps, that take you close to the local fast food joints because Taco Bell/KFC paid them advertising money.

“But none of that happens right now!”

That’s not the point. The point is, it could.

“It was labeled as a technology platform, I didn’t think any of that technology would be used against me!”

Ahhh I see. Well damn because that functionality does sound pretty useful, sad that its currently broken with Wayland.

I never used khotkeys, but would input-remapper do what you want? You can remap keys or execute macros on key presses. It supports X11 and Wayland.
