I agree. That's why https://github.com/klaussilveira/qengine has some pretty shitty assets, and a Python-based asset generator: https://github.com/klaussilveira/qengine/tree/master/src/too...

This way, devs can run the engine with base assets and I can even add some e2e tests to make refactoring easier.

What's the difference between this and varnish or nginx acting like a reverse proxy?

I don't see anything on camera, GPS, maps, push, etc. Was this implemented?

Almost all free and open-source alternative have terrible UIs and crappy UX. And some have shitty content too.

However, that content is done by volunteers just like you, and if you refuse to contribute because something puts you off, then the project dies. Imagine people with the same mindset as you: Oh, I don't bother contributing my design skills because the content sucks. And you don't contribute because design sucks. In the end, no one contributes and the project, as a whole, suffers.

But if the project suffers, you and everyone else, lose to corporate offerings like Google. And that is fine, if you like that. But don't expect them to respect you. I hate to say this, but change has to come from within, not from laws, market forces or anything else.

So, if you want LIBRE maps, and you really care about that, just go on and do it. Gather people, make noise and work hard. There's thousands of highly successful projects to get inspired by.

Well, you can start by donating money or your time to OpenStreetMap and DuckDuckGo.
Re:Google Decides to Monetize Maps on Thursday April 18, 2019 @12:51PM (#19692574)
Why didn't you contribute to OpenStreetMap?

OK, that's it. I'm not paying for this crap anymore. Which email providers do you guys recommend? Zoho? Rackspace?

Urbanite hipsters don't enjoy nature. They read about it on buzzfeed while drinking lattes.

I used to do that until two rentals broke down, the second being quite scary and leaving me and my family stranded. Hertz and Sixt. Do you have a local rental place or something?

With my own car, I'm constantly keeping an eye for everything + regular maintenance.

GTK is super slow. Do you have any intentions of using raw X11 or Wayland?
I don't think the new generation knows what Mosaic was.

Corrupt government.
Re:Airbnb’s ‘Guerrilla War’ Against Local Governments on Wednesday March 20, 2019 @12:39PM (#19443933)
Yeah, let's force citizens to bow to their government masters and pay their "fair" share, while Big Hotel lobbies away, competes unfairly and gets huge tax benefits.

Curious about the GUI parts: Is it talking to X11 directly? What about widgets? Cairo, Skia?

This is so much fun. Does anyone know any opensource alternatives of this kind of text and essay manipulation?
