It shows multiple routes, although I typically use the fastest / default.

I moved to GrapheneOS a few months ago and haven’t really looked back. Someone else below covered using the Sandboxed Google play / Aurora Store (I use both, in addition to fdroid).

Although I could conceivably install more apps, using GrapheneOS had made me think more deeply about whether I actually need an app, instead of using a web browser. It’s true that using the web is a degraded experience (likely intentionally so, in some cases), but this is a cost I’m willing to pay for better security and privacy.

Finally, I wanna rep Magic Earth as a solid alternative to Google maps. Route finding is accurate and includes traffic warnings, etc. It uses OpenStreetMap data FWIW.

Huh, interesting. It very well might be - I am on the dbzero instance, which generally does not defederate like .world or beehaw. Couldn’t tell you why .online is defederated from that community instance, although I assume there is some record of that somewhere.

Yep, especially now that the government has signaled relaxing H1B regulations…

First time I heard of this, super neat, thanks for sharing. Found a good article here:

I can’t comment on the state of the German system, but agree with everything you said otherwise.

One of the worst parts is that in the absence of critical thought by doctors, it feels like the only choice I have as an individual is to try and figure things out myself. But God forbid I actually mention thinking deeply about the issue to a doctor - I’m immediately labeled non-compliant / hypochondriac. You can’t fucking win.

I’m going through a very similar thing except with blood clots and anticoagulants. I was in the hospital for 3 days for a pulmonary embolism, but the docs couldn’t figure out why. Instead, they just put me on the blood thinners for life.

This is a big bummer because I have a pretty active lifestyle (cycling, caving, scuba) and being on the meds means I can’t feel safe doing these things anymore.

I’m trying right now to talk to different doctors and see if there’s a way to safely stop the meds but I’m fighting against their flow charts that simply say this is the reality from now on.

As you may know, this is the entire premise of fall of civilizations podcast, which also did a great episode on the Assyrians:

I haven’t heard about Truth Social’s plans, but that wouldn’t surprise me.

I have however heard of this:

I’ve always heard it attributed (in a slightly different form) to Rahm Emmanuel, e.g. :

Never let a good crisis go to waste

Looks exactly like the British soldier demon dude from Netflix’s Locke & Key.
