I came here to say this. Partly due to behavioral changes on my part, DDG’s results have been closer to what I’m looking for. At school, they block DDG on the WiFi, so I use Google there and I have to flick past many ads and results that look good from the summary, but have nothing to do with what I’m looking for when load the page.

good analogy! If that’s the case, then I can paddle a canoe 10mph (downstream, with a “tail” wind).

Ditto. The security department made the push because too many people were installing unapproved addons like ublock. They are mandating chrome, “for security”. LMAO

The irony is that people are signing into chrome with personal gmail and leaking stuff.

While this is an incredible travel speed, I wouldn’t consider it “hitting supersonic” speeds based on ground speed. I read the article wondering about the safety of passenger aircraft at 800MPH, but it seems to not apply.

I’m not a pilot, though.

I like to think that using FOSS daily, singing its praises to everyone and filing out the occasional bug report counts.

I think you’re saying that we should be giving parents the tools to parent their kids and the accountability to take responsibility when their parenting affects others negatively.

I’ve been saying this for years.

I’m running /e/ OS 1.8.1. Avenza seems to be the problem here. There are other apps too, but this is the lastest. It’s frustrating to be required to use closed source proprietary software for public services, like the forestry maps.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for.

Osmand is great for most of what I need on a daily basis, but on a trip a few years ago, some of the hiking trails were not up to date and we got lost. It wasn’t terrible, but it was uncomfortable and fortunately we had paper maps.

I would like to use the maps provided by the park or forestry service since I like to think that they’re current, but they rely on Avenza which relies on Google. I’m okay taking a risk on Avenza for the short duration of the trip and plan to not give it network access, but I doubt I could do that with Google Play services, much less cleanly uninstall it after the trip is over.

I have and use OSMAnd and love it. I’ll check out those other apps. Mostly, I want to use the trail maps provided by the park. I’ve been burned in the past when using other trail apps.
