yelling and finger-pointing at the CEO before a live audience of thousands of attendees

oh nooo not finger pointing, thats so outrageous, unlike killing thousands of children

and making hostile, unprovoked, and highly inappropriate accusations against the CEO, the Company and Microsoft generally

the truth cant be hostile or inappropriate and the accusations were certainly not unprovoked

if you consider the diplomatic weight royalties have in foreign countries

They shouldnt have any diplomatic weight. They should be stripped of anything that separates them from normal citizens.

Narrator: “But she did care actually”

I understand that their motivation is to suppress opposition. What im saying is that banning tiktok wont have that effect, but the opposite. Im saying the opposition will actually benefit from moving to a different, more neutral platform in response to this ban.

Trying to fight for attention on a biased platform like tiktok is a waste of energy. Its like swimming upstream.

Thats exactly when you should do it tho…

Opposition politicians in Albania, civil society members, and journalists who spoke to iMEdD argue that Prime Minister Edi Rama’s real objective is to silence government critics and manipulate the upcoming elections in May.

We know that TikTok is being used to manipulate elections in favor of right wing parties on a global scale. Why the fuck would you not ban it is the question? It doesnt matter if some left wing stuff gets taken down by that as a side effect, because right wing stuff will always have more viewership on it. The net outcome of banning tiktok is always in favor of left wing voices.

Yeah im think 6th or something. One time it was revealed that all the people that set up the campaign were paid or lobby buddies with the image recognition and chat scanning tool companies and big tech. Sadly everyone just quickly forgot about that…

Aye you finally set up your website :D

Yeah that makes sense that those would break. Its quite aggressive, but most standard smd components dont care. Its even kind of a good QC test in my experience, because if anything wasnt attached properly it will get detached in there.

I can attest that they are great. I use them daily for cleaning stuff at work. Much bigger ones than these tho.

Ironically he says cleaning electronics will damage them, but thats exactly what im doing. The frequency and strength is the important part here. He generally has no understanding of electronics and makes some stupid nonsense claims about the circuit of the real one, but thats not the focus of the video so idc.

Hopefully only fired.

It looks like a stylized demon with wings wearing a dress :D

The ones with the most amount of code lines and dependencies probably. More code = more problems.

Smells like shit…

Smells like (en)shit(tification) looks kinda shit.

Ah yes the move from software developer to service provider. Smells like en(shit)tification.

Lets hope they do this right unlike everyone else.

If you go back 5 generations, there wont be much left of the US population. I guess they want to go back to the pre industrial era of civilization.

As long as it only pulls data and doesnt share any its not as bad. But each of these local services most likely use different APIs and formats, so implementing it wont be so easy. For just large highways its realistic imo, but if you want data for inside cities it becomes impossible.

If the database of traffic info become so large that it’s impossible to download it all at once it means you have to selectively download data for your location/route which makes it possible to infer user location again.

Has anyone actually created a traffic plugin yet?

The organic team doesnt wanna deal with collecting user data so they wont do it. Getting live location data from millions of people basically requires using and feeding into google services and thats a no go.

Ofcourse someone else could do it, but thats just a waste of time, if google can cut you off from their API at any point.

Even if you start your own project, no matter what you do, there will always have to be some company that collects all the data. That company no matter how cool and FOSS will eventually be forced to cooperate with law enforcement and then you are back to what we have now with google.

Location data is just too sensitive and impossible to anonymize properly.

Not really nice of you to edit the message after it was replied to.

I didnt…

Changing your github profile location does not mean neither factual relocation, nor changing citizenship.

Then where are you getting 6-7 from? Those people could be Polish or Ukrainian or born somewhere completely different. They could have moved, changed citizenship, whatever. I dont know. You dont know.

The only person on this list that lives in Russia is Alexey Naumenko. So what are you yappin about? So far i also cant see that name on the new member list https://git.omaps.dev/org/organicmaps/members

mapsme: founded by Yury Melnichek, later joined by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako

organicmaps: founded by Roman Tsisyk (completely unrelated to mapsme) and later joined by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako

So the founders are not the same, but some devs from the old project joined organic maps.

The developer team fully consist of russian citizens

I dont think thats correct. Do you have a source? The predecessor that it was forked from maps.me maybe, but the current dev team has nothing to do with that project anymore.
