I am very conscious of how much data I use due to where I now live. I have noticed that flatpak's have a massive download size (100's of megs), especially when compared to the deb package (kb to mb) 2-3 orders of magnitude more.

Yep, this is what we use. I always found the others too prescriptive. I don't need to add the type, size or brand of cheese, I just want to put cheese, and me or my wife knows what sort of cheese to buy.

If we need something specific, you can add that detail too.

Super quick, super simple. I would love a self hosted alternative, bit there is nothing as simple that I have found.

How nice of them, I asked them to add links to the apps, as I don't know what they are by the name.

Thanks :)

I wonder if there are simple interfaces, basically just a setup in osmand that simplifies it for people like my wife that does want complex

It is powerful enough that I reckon it can do it.

Yeah, sorta out of the box. But there are a few crash bugs in it, as pointed out in article.

It would be good if qgis had some native osm plugins

I loved maperitive. But it has not been maintained for ages.

If they opened it up, I'm sure it would get some love for the community as it is a really cool tool that could go much further than it has already.

Sigh.

There are lots still. Typically in lower socio-economic communities, as well as certain countries.

But, they still smike

Thanks! Is it possible to have the headings for each app link to the app page?

That way anyone who doesn't know what the app is or does can go straight there.

Cheers

Nah. How many people still smoke, or eat a heap of crap food, knowing that it will effect their future health.

They will carry on on for the immediate dopamine hit of profits!

Maybe they are farmers? Apparently they have to live quote remote.

I have family that use it as there is nothing else available

Edit: fiber is cheap, but the land and labour required is not.

 

I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

 

I think that these are firmly embeded in many peoples minds. Very catchy and has a great message!

 

Hey lemmings.

I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.

Is there a way to increase their visibility?

I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie [email protected] can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.

I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.

Cheers!

 

This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage.

What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e).

He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage.

The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants.

I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid.

Have a read and let me know what you think.
