Many of us appreciate both the service and lack of ads. Thank you for both.

While I entirely agree with the gist of your comment, if the process of "unclothing my first love" took 7,000 hours, I might have to reconsider.

While not ideal, I've found a usable solution.

This GitHub repo [1] has map files generated using OpenAddresses.

Load the appropriate one for your area and you can search using addresses in the normal format. They currently provide maps for North America, and are regenerated roughly monthly.

(Thank you pnoll1!)

I pay them on Patreon and use SponsorBlock to skip the integrated advertisements.

That seems like a good balance for me.

This is also what I have seen in other online communities that aggregate such works.

The trouble is that the toggle for turning off the cloud functionality does not turn off this aspect of the cloud functionality.

Which is a frustrating oversight.

Note that ooh.directory only indexes blogs (that have RSS feeds). Personal/indie sites that have other structures are prohibited.

Which is fine, but means it isn't a one-stop-shop for indie sites.

If I host my own instance, can I federate with both 'halves'?

Or will associating with one likely get my instance blocked from federating with the other?

Linux Mint has been a good, reliable option for me.

Please do. That seems viable, and potentially very beneficial!

That's not a bad plan from a cost perspective, though scanning a 200+ page textbook is reasonably complex, and very time consuming.

A chemistry textbook of mine was 600 USD- brand new because the version published that year was required.

That really stung.

> not being interrupted feels for me like not being listened

I'm curious if this is the case if the other party is giving other visual indications of focus. (Making intent eye contact, nodding, etc.)

Obviously it may still be uncomfortable because it's not your preferred communication/feedback style, but I'm curious if that mitigates the feeling of not being listened to or not.

What is 'ESG' in this context?

Do you have a thorough description of how it all works you can link? (Mastodon, or the fediverse in general.)

I'd like to understand it, but haven't really felt like I grasped it after reading short descriptions.

Is that "more" by mass, or energy content?

Journey goes to a lot of trouble both to make the 'matchmaking' entirely seamless, and to limit player interaction to constructive/team actions.

They spent a lot of time tuning those mechanics with the stated intent of making multiplayer that was cooperative and positive.

I think what they achieved is generally quite impressive.

I just want to second this. I experienced a similar trend.

That is entirely correct, but it strains the voting metaphor a lot.

I agree with your assertion, but the Time Cube site seems like the worst possible example.

It strikes me as being as close to machine generated content as possible. I'm not sure I could have thought of any single thing that felt more like a GPT3 fever dream: disconnected assertions that are divorced from a underpinning understanding.

I've just started using SerchXNG. How often (if at all) do they add smaller search engines like this one as options in your experience?

I was hoping to be able to use some esoteric ones, but that doesn't seem possible, unless I've overlooked something.

Being able to aggregate a couple of these up-and-coming engines with result reduplication sounds really neat.

Is there an app you'd recommend to capture that motion data?

I heard about this at one point, by was stymied by not knowing what I could use to record that data in a useful format for gyroflow.

Regarding the issues with search, this tool[0] uses OpenAddresses to facilitate more natural search.

This largely rectified the address search in OSMAnd for me, though it does not update automatically and so requires occasional reapplication.

Hope that helps!

I didn't downvote, but its possible the "get a foot in the door" is coming across more coercive than you intended. It brings to mind pushy salesmen.

I think your statement is fine, if the reader interprets your statement charitably, but it could be misread.

Just a guess!

This is very accurate in my experience, down to the suggested formulas.

What is your thought process about it that allows you to feel exploited and preyed upon, but not feel upset at the group that profited off exploiting you?

I mean that genuinely. I feel like I'd be upset in your shoes. Are you looking at it differently somehow?

You're probably right, but I'm honestly a bit disappointed. That would have been quite the rabbit hole to research.

Access times can number in the years, but durability is good!

Unified-nlp is another option to replace the Google location backbend. It similarly allows you to select location options or build your own local database.
