Should I worry about add on compatibility with librewolf and also recommendation on a pinned questions thread. in c/librewolf@lemmy.ml
[–] KelsonV@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I've only installed a handful, but they've all worked fine except for KeePassXC-Browser - and that's partly q known issue with a workaround and partly Flatpak (which made it hard to apply the workaround)

Maps.me co-founder tries to close down Organic Maps open-source fork - HN in c/technology@lemmy.world

If I'm reading this correctly, the headline is...very inaccurate.

It looks like a dispute between two developers in Organic Maps, who both started out at Maps.me, specifically over whether their CDN redirector should be public or private.

Someone's concern for privacy can change throughout the day or at different locations. To keep the metaphor going, they might be fine with the top being open while they're driving, but want it closed when the car is parked.

Same here. The learning curve is higher on Vespucci, but once you're familiar with it it's extremely capable!

Artificial intelligence can find your location in photos (www.npr.org)
 

"Like so many applications of AI, this new power is likely to be a double-edged sword: It may help people identify the locations of old snapshots from relatives, or allow field biologists to conduct rapid surveys of entire regions for invasive plant species, to name but a few of many likely beneficial applications.

"But it also could be used to expose information about individuals that they never intended to share, says Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union who studies technology. Stanley worries that similar technology, which he feels will almost certainly become widely available, could be used for government surveillance, corporate tracking or even stalking."

Steam in Wine vs. Steam running Wine? (lemmy.world)
 

I know Steam on Linux uses a Wine environment to run Windows games, but I was recently reminded that you can run the Windows version of Steam in a Wine bottle. Is there any advantage to doing it this way instead of running the Linux client with Proton?

Yep. DigitalOcean specifically recommends SendGrid as an alternative: https://docs.digitalocean.com/support/why-is-smtp-blocked/
