You’re about to get 10 different answers, most would say
Any user from the Lemmygrad and Hexbear instances, and some from Lemmy.ml
Genocide deniers
Pro-Russia and pro-China users
I think it’s just a derogatory term for anyone that’s anti-imperialism/liberalism
We’re just poking for a bit of fun. The Free and Open Source rabbit hole goes very deep. For example, Intel and AMD processors have code on them that isn’t free meaning the purists will not use them unmodified.
Everyone has a threshold where privacy and freedom interfere with convenience, just stick with the level you’re comfortable with.
I’ve got bad news for you, this wasn’t from RvB.
Your statement is still true independent of the image, however.
Renaming the C:\ drive to A:\ for America.
Yeah, that pretty much sounds like the exact same thing here.
Is the country between France and Poland called, Deutschland, Allemagne, or Germany?
It’s completely outside of the borders of the US but the name used for that country is completely different from then name people from that area would call it.
Which name is right? Which name should be displayed on the map? It depends on a few things.
Downloaded what though? OpenStreetMap is just a data source. There are a number of different maps that use it.
I haven’t used it in awhile but I think Magic Earth has traffic data, I’m not sure where it’s sourced from but the map data they use is from OSM.
Isn’t this the same as blaming Biden for high gas prices?
On an LCD display, the backlight is always on but the crystals need power to align and let the backlight through.
A full white screen would in theory use more electricity than a full black screen. How much more, I don’t actually know but I would like to know more info in it.
This right here is why federation is so cool.
This makes perfect sense. Darth Vader just wants some high quality H2O.

The user handle is the funniest part about this
This app is everything it needs to be. It looks modern, has nice visuals, I was able to import data from an old tracking app.
It’s such a nice feeling when you find an app that hits all the checkmarks and then you find out it’s FOSS as well.
Maps are for documenting the location of things in the real world relative to each other. It could be anything, like roads and buildings, or rivers and bodies of water, or electrical lines.
Then there is all the information that is added to all those objects; adding names to the roads, buildings having an addtess and what type of building they are, the direction a river is flowing and how many rivers flow into or out if a lake.
All of that is just information, where an what things are, it doesn’t actually do anything. That is a map.
Navigation software takes the information about the roads and how they are connected together along with their names and combines it with addresses to show you how to get from one address to another.
You could also have software that simulates the ecological effects of rerouting a river from a lake, or damming a river.
You could take data from a map to show you all the power lines that are near trees that will need to be trimmed and give estimates to your employer on how many people to hire for tree trimming, and then combine that with a map of buildings to show how many customers would be without power if a tree branch triggers a circuit to open.
Navigation is just one part of what a map could be used for, and probably one of the only parts that most people would use a map for.
OpenStreetMap started out just being a map of streets, hence the name, but it has grown to be this massive collection of information. Then there is all of tools that decide what to do with the information. OsmAnd is a good tool for simply displaying the data. It can provide navigation but it’s not the best.
I would call these things “bouncy balls”.
I can confidently say the cheapest price I ever saw gas was in 2008. Gas is currently twice as much as that, and two years ago it was almost 4 times as much.
When you’re writing a message on the web version, typing ! and the name of the community will bring up a suggestion box.
Typing !main and selecting the rblind.com instance autocompletes to [!main@rblind.com](https://rblind.com/c/main) but that links directly to the instance itself. It needs a bit of formatting though to get it to be instance-agnostic.
There’s a big discussion on Github on how to handle links, because as mentioned, the /c/ won’t work for kbin users.
I personally think it should link the instance directly, as it already does, and have a second link in the formatting we mentioned for the local instance link.
Often, a quick way to link communities is by formatting a hyperlink like this [Visible-text-to-click](/c/community@instance.tld)
For a this example, formatting the text like [this link](/c/main@rblind.com) would create this link that most* people can click on that will bring them to that community.
*Kbin users will need to replace the /c/ with/m/
It mostly comes down to personal preference honestly.
Jellyfin is open-source and more focused on your own selfhosted media. I, too, bought a Plex pass years ago and have enjoyed Plex but they’ve been adding a bunch of crap to their interface.
I’m big on free open-source software but I won’t be biased and say that Jellyfin has some rough edges, but it works well enough for me to watch movies with my wife. Plex is a bit smoother and more production-ready for those power users that host Plex for several others.
I’d encourage you to try it out if for nothing more than exposing yourself to alternatives.
See, I don’t even know. The term is used so broadly. It’s basically just “Lemmy users I don’t like”
