openbasic··on Open Source Game Clones
I agree. That's why https://github.com/klaussilveira/qengine has some pretty shitty assets, and a Python-based asset generator: https://github.com/klaussilveira/qengine/tree/master/src/too...

This way, devs can run the engine with base assets and I can even add some e2e tests to make refactoring easier.

openbasic··on Google Decides to Monetize Maps
Almost all free and open-source alternative have terrible UIs and crappy UX. And some have shitty content too.

However, that content is done by volunteers just like you, and if you refuse to contribute because something puts you off, then the project dies. Imagine people with the same mindset as you: Oh, I don't bother contributing my design skills because the content sucks. And you don't contribute because design sucks. In the end, no one contributes and the project, as a whole, suffers.

But if the project suffers, you and everyone else, lose to corporate offerings like Google. And that is fine, if you like that. But don't expect them to respect you. I hate to say this, but change has to come from within, not from laws, market forces or anything else.

So, if you want LIBRE maps, and you really care about that, just go on and do it. Gather people, make noise and work hard. There's thousands of highly successful projects to get inspired by.

I used to do that until two rentals broke down, the second being quite scary and leaving me and my family stranded. Hertz and Sixt. Do you have a local rental place or something?

With my own car, I'm constantly keeping an eye for everything + regular maintenance.

Corrupt government.
openbasic··on Airbnb’s ‘Guerrilla War’ Against Local Governments
Yeah, let's force citizens to bow to their government masters and pay their "fair" share, while Big Hotel lobbies away, competes unfairly and gets huge tax benefits.
