The scene where Al Pacino gets slapped by a big black guy wearing only a cowboy hat and a jockstrap in Cruising (1980)

If you want free, I'd recommend Protom Mail.

For paid, I really like Mailbox.org and Posteo. They work with IMAP/POP3, CardDAV, and CalDAV

Idk about the rest of the world, but most people I know in the US seem to stay in their hometown or a nearby town

I like having congee or pho for breakfast

Sometimes I have fried rice with chinese sausage and eggs

Pan-fried Salmon, Miso Soup, and Rice is good too

I personally like both Posteo and mailbox.org, but they are paid email services.

You can use them for your email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. On Android, you can use Davx5 to sync them.

Magic Earth is not an open source app. They haven't released any source code. Mentioning it as the OP title is about open source maps app.

Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.

That being said, I love using Magic Earth for driving. It works quite well as long as your area is up-to-date on OSM

I personally have to toggle on Exploit protection compatibility mode in App info to get some of my banking apps to work

1/3rd of our backyard is native plants, and other 2/3rd is concrete. We have a table in the back that we normally like to hang during the day instead of staying inside. Sometimes reading, playing games on laptops, chatting, eating, etc.

We decided to let our backyard grow wild for a few months. Now we keep getting a lot of ten-lined June beetles, moths (lots of morning-glory plume moths), bees, blister beetles, lacewings, katydid, stink bugs, earwigs, among other bugs.

Never seen a ten lined June beetle until we did this. Their hissing freaked me out the 1st time I saw them. And their grips are so strong when trying to get them off our backyard curtain that we use to block the sun. They are pretty cool looking though, and huge!

We haven't sat outside really in a couple months now because it isn't that enjoyable when there are so many bugs around you, sometimes crawling on you, and sometimes ending up in my teacup or on my food plate. We're probably going to cut it back again and maintain it more so that we can actually use our backyard again

I personally do not like any sugar in my coffee unless at a Viennese coffee house. I have a lot of amazing coffee roasters in the area.

I still find McDonald's coffee to be good for the price. Well, as long as there is a bit of creamer in it. I don't ever eat at McDonald's, I only go there for coffee if I need something quick and cheap that is better than gas station / 7-Eleven / Starbucks coffee.

I don't use creamer/milk in any actual good coffee. I prefer my coffee black to actually taste it, and normally it's already sweet without anything added. And don't like drip coffee usually.

Not when you use your own modem

I'm not going to rent Comcast's modem/access point combo. It sucks.

 

The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.

Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they'll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don't want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

Does anyone know if a Linux program that is similar to URLCheck?

For URLCheck, you can set it as your default browser on Android, and when you click a link, it'll open up there first. It can go through all of the redirects for you, and lets you edit the URL before opening it in another web browser. Useful for removing tracking referrals as well if the user wants.

For Linux, I'd be happy with a program that I can paste the URL into to do all of this, it doesn't have to have the ability to be a default web browser. I'd prefer to not have to use Waydroid for URLCheck.

URL when clicking on an email

URL after it goes through the redirects

URL after clicking the X for parameters to clean it up
