  • Just that it gives me a route that feels like it makes more sense. I’ve been trying out organic maps and OSMand lately in place of routes I would normally drive with google maps, and previously it had felt like OSMand had the better routing but organic maps had the better interface (though there are some aspects that are better with OSMand, namely the display/label for the next turn is a little crummy in organic maps) but lately the routing has been good enough in organic maps that I’ve been preferring to use it over OSMand. I can’t wait to see it continue to improve









  • I kinda thought this conversation would eventually happen. I have mixed feelings on the subject but am generally inclined not to use the term myself as I find it distasteful. But I think there’s an important consideration for those who’d like to discontinue the term rice in this community: what language would we like to use instead? Specifically a good noun for referring to a given setup we’ve made. In therapy they teach you that stopping a behavior is a very hard thing to accomplish, and that instead you should always try to replace a behavior- I believe that idea is very relevant here

    I’d be curious to hear people’s thoughts on what they’d like to use instead






  • Unix is a specific operating system, and there are a lot of operating systems based on it or derived from it (Linux, MacOS, BSD, and both Android and ChromeOS which are based on the linux kernel)

    Here’s a handy link to the Wikipedia page for unix. You may find the intro & history sections more useful than the stuff about what Unix is from a technical perspective, or how it works.

    This may be sacrilege, but I don’t mind seeing someone’s Windows customizations here, though its not what the community is intended for
