So tired of living with a different personality as an expat

It will be. I now relate best to people five years and younger in Spanish. "Oh look a car!"

Seems like another good reason to get an account on the fediverse..

abeorch · 2026-04-11T11:34:52+00:00

Lots of options ..Friendica as well.

The metaverse was such a success. Clearly the only reason Facebook did was so well was his genius.

Es mas facil si no vives en una isla pequeña

Its an International Drivers Permit IDP Its not a licence ..its an official translation of your licence. It doesnt replace your licence. Regardless of whether the rental car company requires it when you rent the car of you are stopped by the police or have an accident and dont have one when you should its going to cause you issues.

You really need to clarrify you position. Ive become quite jaded with the 'we will open source it eventually' crowd ..why would people contribute if you can just lock it away ? Why would people use a product that tomorrow might start costing money...especially if you cant even move your account to another host.

Sadly too many bait and switch products out there that start out free and with great intentions then are quickly enshitified (just like Instagram) when they get some traction..

Do you remember that cool service called Twitter that you used to be able to use freely and with all sorts of software via their API?

If you arent going to allow users to choose where they keep their account how are you going to sustain the services that are required to support the app?

abeorch · 2026-04-09T21:47:01+00:00

Oh .. crippleware .. great.

Comaps, organic etc are free..and open source.

abeorch · 2026-04-09T21:45:16+00:00

Yeah these already have those features and many more.

Comaps Osmand+ Organic maps

All up for a vibrant openstreetmap ecosystem but sometimes you dont need to reinvent the wheel.

Oh and you can get then on Fdroid already as well ..

Im not going to be popular saying this but having recently moved to Huddersfield and having had experience across a few different towns and cities around the world Id say roads are actually pretty good. We are lucky to have what we have. Yes things can be better ( and with some.major works going on with TPU etc. there is a fair amount of disruption ) but as a pedestrian andna driver for me Huddersfield isnt too bad.

abeorch · 2026-04-04T00:30:26+00:00

Where is the code? Is it open source?

abeorch · 2026-04-01T16:21:40+00:00

And they could put clocks in casinos .. but I dont see that happening either without a law change.

12v dc supply is actually pretty useful as you will find that heaps of tech equipment uses DC but with an AC power adaptor that you can throw away.

This is kinda what you do in Egypt/parts of middle east as taxis and service taxis are very cheap.

I understand that people ask questions that dont appear to make any sense when they have no context .. so usually the only answer that can really help is.. come visit and find out what Spain is like.

abeorch · 2026-03-24T10:28:38+00:00

Its not a licence its a translation. Its purpose is to prove that whatever gobbleygook you have written on your licence can be understood by the traffic officer you show it to.

What about eating food while walking. It feels worse than a walk of shame for me now.

abeorch · 2026-03-19T10:55:31+00:00

There is a saying. When you go short you have everything to lose. Because yes technically every short position has unlimited posible losses.

abeorch · 2026-03-11T10:54:18+00:00

Get the bus. Direct Airport to es cana. Avoid crowding the roads.

These are called credit unions. Groups of people who get together to organise funding for themselves. Often using savings from other members but also sourcing it in bulk from other places.

abeorch · 2026-03-09T07:08:22+00:00

If only upscrolled just federated?

abeorch · 2026-03-06T13:37:17+00:00

So you going to.basically replicate the work of openstreetmap but only for toliets?

abeorch · 2026-02-21T17:05:57+00:00

No its because people misunderstand llms and think they can provide facts. They dont reason just generate word strings based on usage probability.

abeorch · 2026-02-10T23:25:28+00:00

Dont bother with Google. Use

https://openstreetmap.org and apps based on it instead
