Yeah well put. It should be said that regulations OFTEN cite certifications from non-regulatory bodies. Regulators are often legislators and executors, not scientists that understand the rationales behind good practice. Certification bodies (like UL, as one example, or SAE for automotive) have the scientists to do the requirements.

I feel the need to step in here. Certification != regulation. Regulation means there is a body that can enforce the requirements with monetary or other damaging repercussions. What Oceangate faced were certifications and their decision to side-step them were met with no repercussions except their reputation with those who wouldn't ever want to step inside their sub anyways.

Point is - regulations would have prevented this, but there are none.

Yeah probably not what you're looking for but Out There on Android is a sleeper. Think The Martian (yeah the novel) mixed with No Man's Sky. Some free and open elements with a journal-driven story progression. Difficult as well.

Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.

For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.

Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.

Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.

Here's an example: how can I subscribe to the topics I want to follow? I don't want to see the 198 or whatever it is posts. Nor programmer humour. Lemmy has a great community of fans and users but if I can't see only what I want I'm not going to use it.
