  • Should your mail be delivered daily? Canada Post wants Ottawa to rethink its mandate
  • It doesn't help when they just ignore it and pile the junk mail on top of the sign that says "No junk mail"

    Need good solutions for sharing photos with family
  • I've been trying to find some good examples of how to structure the files, and whether to combine the photos from everyone or to keep them separate. Obviously there's different systems for everyone, but your method of syncing, tagging, and displaying/sharing photos is almost identical to how I've been wanting to go about it.

    Do you mind sharing how you structure the photo files and naming in your Gallery directory?

    I was thinking of implementing the Copyright tag to keep the data of the original phototaker, and then combine all the photos into a Gallery/YYYY/MM structure, with the filenames being YYYYMMDD-CameraModel. There aren't many events we go to, so albums aren't a big priority, but on the occasion, I was thinking if using a folder like MM-Event in the respective year folder.

    I'm just putting my thoughts down because I don't often see this part of people's photo organizing.

  • Doug Ford calls on federal workers in Ottawa to return to office
  • it really affects the downtown

    Well, I can at least respect the honesty, rather than the typical "collaborative work" bullshit.

  • What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?
  • 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.

  • Return to a simpler time
  • Up until about 6 months ago, Canada didn't really have much more than 10GB plans for a decent price.

    When providers started offering those 10GB plans for $60 a couple years ago, there were lineups out the door.

    We finally entered the modern era where we can get 20GB for $34.

    Comments appear highlighted with a box

    I noticed this odd behaviour a few days ago. It happens on desktop and mobile web pages. It seems to only be on this instance (lemmy.ca) because I don't see this when browsing other instances directly.

    I can't see the UI version number at the bottom of the page. I'm using Firefox 114 on both desktop and Android phone.
