What is your city? What anti-car policies were implemented?
Did city offer viable altenatives to driving?

starsep | 2 months ago | on: Oh My Zsh adds bloat
Oh My Zsh adds bloat but sets sensible default settings compared to vanilla zsh.
I tried using zsh without OMZ and I realized how many things are in OMZ which I took for granted, especially keybindings.
~150ms with minimal setup is good enough for me, although I would prefer <50ms.

I am Kagi subscriber because I think their search is great. I would like them to focus on it.
I don't care about closed-sourced browser nor their AI offering

Very cool. I will try it out as replacement of nix profile.
flox install/show/search in $HOME looks like way better UX

starsep | 3 years ago | on: OpenStreetMap but as terminal user interface (TUI) program
At the moment it's unreadable. Maybe using kitty protocol would allow for image better quality?
starsep | 3 years ago | on: Signal Introduces Stories
I don't like stories but at least there is a way to opt-out.
Many people do like them and expected them so it's understandable move

Only if there is no additional information. Most buildings have polygon on ground level and height/number of levels.
It's possible to make more complex shapes

Billboards in the middle of a sidewalk? That's crazy
starsep | 3 years ago | on: Where else in London are there pylons?
There are many solar plants not mapped due to lack of high quality, up-to-date aerial/satellite imagery, or volunteers.
Germany is country mapped best, not necessarily having significant share of solar.

Great feature. Good luck with making it production ready and merging it upstream if you intend to do that :)

Ads themselves might be fine to you (I disagree). Breaking privacy laws, spying on users, and dark patterns to trick user into "consent" is not.

It was re-enabled for me as well.

It's also used in OpenStreetMap - "Wikipedia for maps", referenced a lot lately on HN.

starsep | 4 years ago | on: OrganicMaps is Android and iOS offline maps for travel without trackers or ads
I stopped using GMaps and I still don't think they are worthless.
Some companies buy fake reviews, some use shady techniques such as free drink/appetizer for a review. In my experience so far those are exceptions, not standard. I think corelation between quality and GMaps average review score is quite high - at least for restaurants.
