gotbeans··on Apple Maps vs. Google Maps
I tried apple maps 2 years ago just because my android died and my wife pulled out her iphone.

It was on a tahoe trip to ski, we happened to hit a snowstorm that day. Apple Maps decided to optimize the route and suggested a better route through a friggin road that passed rather close to a ski station (could even look the name up).

We had a 4x4 and we were fine for the most part, but things got really bad when descending, started loosing traction and in one turn we actually slided and the snow stopped us on the edge of a cliff, not even exagerating.

To be 100% clear, this is entirely our fault. We should have been with chains from the very beginning. But it's still shocking to me Apple Maps would suggest such a freaking route in the middle of a snow storm. Would Gmaps have done the same? Probably?

Experience was bad enough to swear never open AMaps again.

gotbeans··on Why Can’t I Sleep?
This.

Being a very anxious person in nature, I will add there is something that positively helps anxiety in repetition of something known.

I can't put my finger on it but, I always feel aliviated when a new episode starts after the previous one. It's one of the things that has helped me most during hard times, and gave me back being able to fall sleep at night.

gotbeans··on Developers can't fix bad management (2020)
This is spot on in my experience.

The first thing that comes to my head when talking about bad management are manager positions with the power of taking decisions they they either don't fully grasp the consequences at-large of, or will not be hold accountable of bad results for.

I understand this might come at hw level. Driver could have little or nothing to do with it.

I had to read twice and go through the article to make sure of the amount.

IMO they'd deserve _way_ more than that. The precedent is scary.

Pf I know it's media based (so yeah... take the "reliable" part of it with a grain of salt... or handful maybe)

Spanish is studied alongside with catalan. Out of 10 tv channels, 9 are in spanish. School is mostly taught in Catalan, so what? It's not a commodity, but you are abogating extinguishing a language for commodity?

However I just see for the first time your [1], and as a totally pro-independentist person that I am, I totally condemnd that. Thats blatant catalan fuckup, that is unacceptable and that is not what my independentist rationale claim for.

Not sure why constantly saying "u more!" is an argument at all to deny population voting. Childish if you ask me.

I think he's talking about the "how" (blocking internet, policialization) not about the "why".

> This way kids could be directed to be independentist too.

Lived in Catalonia all my life, never had a teacher tell me any of the biases you are stating.

I ought to think you are the one who was directed to think like that?

Catalan here. There are historic and cultural reasons to split also.

The economic rationale behind your post is absolutely correct. However we don't want to split because we don't want to share; we want to split because of the missuse and economic opression and the unending corruption that plagues Spain. We don't think ourselves of so-prosperous at all in that sense - and at the same time I'll admit corruption is always an issue in democracy, but Spain's case is taking it to ridiculous levels.

Let me post sources in few for what I'm saying, on the phone right now.

gotbeans··on Facebook, You Needy Sonofabitch
What kills this platform is entities other than people participating. I ignore anything else of facebook baits for posting/visiting.

In the beginning I added artists and maybe some companies I fancied: that's a huge mistake. FB is only an ad framework for these entities and they are going to occupy 100% of your feed.

You erase all that and I started to see some friends doing stuff again, which is nice. I still think tho the algorithm to generate your feed is real s*.

How about free? /ducks

Jokes aside, i'm of the opinion I'd allow free use with severe scale limitations - more or less what bitbucket did/does with private repos.

gotbeans··on “We currently have no plans to support Xwayland”
I tend to think this works otherwise:

I don't choose a platform because it has "many games", I want to play games X, Y and Z and I want no issue, what OS should I play them with.

The answer in 99% of X, Y and Z combinations is Windows tragically
