I'm surprised that the effect of major rivers is big enough to be visible on a global map, at least in otherwise saline areas (Amazon, Mississippi, Congo?). Interestingly, the world's longest river (Nile) which drains into one of the saltiest seas (Mediterranean) doesn't register on this scale at all.

This is a very inaccurate map, as it lumps the actual Italian empire, protectorates and administrated regions all together as one. The map's resolution is very small so it's hard to tell, but some places are marked that were none of the above (e.g. Athens in Axis-occupued Greece).

Even worse though, this map includes regions that were never under Italian control simultaneously. Quoting from the Wikipedia image on the linked article (and which this map is an either accidental or intentional worse copy of):

Italian Colonial Empire. Every territory ever controlled by the Italian Empire as some point in time during World War II. (many of those were not under Italian control until November 1942/early 1943, and East Africa was lost before the conquest of Yugoslavia and Greece in 1941)

Indeed, you can even see French Guyana depicted on the map on the back of the Euro banknotes (usually on a map window in the lower left corner).

I'm on neither of those instances, but all four show up when I search for "patientgamers".

If memory serves, I stumbled across this community from one of my server's community highlighting bot's posts ( !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl ), it's a nice way to discover active communities I wouldn't have searched for otherwise.

Nice idea about the GPS receiver, I hadn't thought of this workaround.

I ~recently got a Fairphone as well, and while it's the next model, the fact that I can see them still supporting the FP3 with both hardware and software was what convinced me that they'll probably keep the same promise with my model in the future.

Apart from no headphone jack and it being a little bigger than I'd like, I'm very happy with the FP4. I intend to use it until the end of its 5-year warranty, and reading about the longevity of yours makes me optimistic. Thanks for sharing!

It certainly has a learning curve, and not everything is well designed. However, I think that's unfortunately to be expected of the whole domain; ERP tends to be one of the most complex types of software. The question is, which option makes this whole complexity less painful/overwhelming.

For the scope, features and breadth that Odoo offers, I think it's doing a decent job (albeit with lots of room for improvement).

Is there any alternative ERP system of a ~comparable scope that you could alternatively recommend? Python-based is ideal, but other languages are also fine.
