That's is the same as what "Not now" and "Maybe later" would (should) do.

Only "ask me again later" is the one that prompts you again. That's why I do mind that one, and appreciate the other ones.

"Remind me later" means "bug me again with a dialog in the future", which is not what I want. I don't need to be reminded, but if I change my mind in the future, I want to be able to proactively go and change it.

Yes, more text can be another way to provide the message, but if you've ever done any user testing, you'll know that people at best scan through your UI. I know I wouldn't read that, or at least would prefer not to have to read that.

I guess I don't see why "No" combined with "You can change this later in settings" is so much less offensive than "Not now".

And "no, never" would irreversibly remove the option from settings?

I get the annoyance at "ask me again later", but "maybe later" or "not now" is helpful - there's no way to trigger dialogs by yourself, so this is a promise that even if you say "no" in the dialog, you can still go into settings to change your mind. Gives me less anxiety about the choice.

Where I live they've been actively removing traffic lights. One strategy is to turn multi-lane roads into single-lane ones with a lower speed limit, and crossing islands for cyclists and pedestrians. Cars move slower, but more consistently, traffic is better able to self-regulate, so while I haven't timed it, I'm fairly sure traffic is actually moving faster despite driving at lower speeds.

Of course, it helps that infrastructure adjustments over the decades ensures that many people that don't need to be in cars, aren't in cars.

> I wonder if there's a resurgence across the world where libraries are places of community sharing.

Just last week new stats came out [1] that library attendance by young people in the Netherlands is going up again, so possibly!

I think that's roughly what duck.ai is doing? If I type that in there I see it generating some search queries and then generating a list of links based on the different result pages.

That does mean that I would not automatically jump to conclusions about Russia or war or whatever; since much of national public policy is presented today, it's also a popular day to express disagreement, and apparently some farmers had already announced they would be doing so today.

(I'd assume the BBC reporter to be aware that Prinsjesdag is today, and that they'd mention that fact in this article, but apparently not.)

FWIW, Excalidraw uses (or at least originally used to, I didn't check again) the similar project Rough.js: https://roughjs.com/

I'm not sure from "they could afford payroll because they laid everyone off" I would conclude that they weren't struggling for cash.

I feel like I addressed this in my comment. On a laptop, someone who went through what OP went through would surely be able to click "Edit" at the top of https://www.openstreetmap.org, and add a SuperCharger. If they make a mistake, it is likely to get corrected, rather than rejected.

When it comes to fixing opening hours, https://streetcomplete.app does really make that about as straightforward as can be.

Edit: ah, I just noticed I forgot to prepend the * to my remark in parentheses. I did mean to emphasise that generic edits are only straightforward on a laptop, and only guided edits are straightforward using StreetComplete.

FWIW, editing OpenStreetMap is very straightforward*, and with that, you're actually contributing to an open data set that everyone is allowed to use, rather than just propping up Google.

(To be fair, on a laptop - I'm sure Google Maps is more straightforward on a phone. But for someone already prepared to invest this much effort, editing OSM should be well within range. And if you just enjoy contributing to maps, for a phone I can highly recommend https://streetcomplete.app.)

Keep in mind that just because it works for me, that doesn't mean that you're not running into a bug that I'm not, so I can't make any promises about it actually being fixed for you :)

Worth knowing: you can also use @tabs, @history, @bookmarks, etc. now. Way easier to remember :)

I just tried it out with this page, and it gets the HN icon for me. I am on Nightly and on Linux, so possibly this is an actual bug you're running into, but no fix in sight might be too pessimistic. But definitely worth reporting otherewise.

I mean, there are plenty of reasonable takes (some of which are criticism) too. Generally, working at Mozilla doesn't make it much more torturous than before, when I was merely an unpaid open web advocate :)

(Reading every comment is a bit much though.)

I wasn't saying that Apple is just as monopolistic as Google; I was saying that Google is paying Apple orders of magnitude more than it is paying Mozilla. According to your argument, that would mean that Google is trying to keep Apple/Safari alive (which of course is absurd - Apple doesn't need that money to stay alive).

Oops sorry, too late to edit, but you're correct!

Huh funny, now that you mention it: at least in the Netherlands, job listings have had "(m/v)" (male/female) in the title since forever, i.e. way before woke was a thing, but that indeed is kinda weird. "All genders" is probably just a modern ("woke") version of that same old practice.

And of course they're doing the same for Apple/Safari, which wouldn't survive without the $20 million default search engine placement deal.

To illustrate this, look at OsmAnd's most recent blog post [1]. They've recently been looking at adding pretty extensive Astronomy features. Before that, they added a lot of nautical tooling [2]. This is all very cool if you use that, but if you don't, the laundry list of such features make it harder to find the features you do use.

I used OsmAnd for a long time, and it's a great app that I learned how to use well. And while I do miss some features (most notably the Wikivoyage integration for offline travel guides), ultimately the simplicity of CoMaps makes it much more pleasant to use for the thing I mostly use it for: getting around cities.

It is ubiquitous, but as a Dutchie who's never had WhatsApp, it is not quite at the level of an email address yet, luckily.

As in: you painfully ran into other things on your 100cc scooter before, but only when you actually broke a bone, did you actually stop driving dangerously on it?

I wonder if the initial reason to move them to a separate domain, was because they started to see providers blackholing icloud.com anyway, thus also hurting non-aliased emails?

If so, will be interesting to see if that will get worse.

Well, at least the emails that I don't send at least one Gmail user...

(Don't get me wrong, I still want to do it, but it's still daunting.)

Having new email sent to my new inbox would actually be pretty easy for me even, since I've already been renting my own domain for ages now.

It's probably not even several hours of work for me, except that I do want to set that time aside in case something goes wrong and I need to revert things; I can't afford to not receive email anymore.

That, and I do want to transfer all my existing email history.

> Changing email providers sounds daunting, but it ... Probably took a few hours at most.

That does indeed sound as daunting as I feared, unfortunately.

> I think people need to understand what the purpose of Facebook is in terms of its function and constituent parts

Given how many people do not yet use adblockers, I don't have much reason to believe that this will lead to significant amounts of people suddenly seeing this.
