- Comment on How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible? 1 day ago:
Swift (the programming language) can be used on other operating systems too, just not for iOS development.
I’ve been wondering this since I first heard of the iPhone’s “app store” concept in the 2000s, so you’re not alone.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 2 days ago:
Oddly enough that isn’t quite my experience. I went to university immediately after finishing school and was pleasantly surprised at how civilized and mature everyone at university was, compared to just a few months ago at school, even though many of them were still teenagers. It’s something about the environment of school that causes so many young people to behave awfully.

A legal question without the information where in the world you live (country, state, province) cannot possibly get reliable answers.

That isn’t steam, it’s smoke. Smoke from the smoked hams we’re having. Mmmm, smoked hams.

They are (probably), just not unilaterally. If the federal government (Congress) passed a bill allowing it, who would be there to stop it? This is how it is in most countries.
Ultimately, “legal” isn’t a very good claim to make on these questions… a secession that is successful will obviously be considered legal by the seceded country.

and if that had succeeded, the UK parliament would probably have consented to Scotland becoming independent. If the national government agrees to secession, it’s always legal.

The link in the OP just leads to “article inactive” right now. I agree that this sounds unlikely enough it’s probably an April Fool’s joke.
- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 2 weeks ago:
In der Zeit vor digitaler Technik musste man sich auch Straßenkarten der Gegenden, durch die man fährt, kaufen. Es gibt in OsmAnd auch “reine Straßenkarten” im Gegensatz zu “Standardkarten”, bei den ersten sind weniger Details drin und sie sind dafür weniger groß, z.B. für ganz Deutschland anscheinend 2440.80 MB.
Ich mach Google Maps am Smartphone deutlich seltener auf als OsmAnd. Google Maps verwende ich vor allem im Browser wegen der 3D-Ansicht.

Anscheinend funktioniert “Bücherei” als Suchbegriff, “Bibliothek” nur, wenn das im Namen vorkommt.
OSM-Daten sind genau so gut, wie Freiwillige sie gemacht haben. :/ In meiner Gegend sehr vollständig, aber das liegt auch daran, dass ich daran mitgewirkt habe.
OsmAnd ist grundsätzlich eine Offline-Kartenanwendung, d.h. du musst die Karten von den Gebieten, die dich interessieren, herunterladen. Dafür, dass sie “on-demand” heruntergeladen werden wie bei Google Maps, haben sie wohl nicht die Ressourcen. Ist aber auch besser für die Privatsphäre.
- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 2 weeks ago:
I rarely use Google Maps (you really should check out OpenStreetMap and OsmAnd), but I use Android and YouTube a lot.

This still causes you to have a Google account and probably use it for other purposes too, during some of which you will see ads.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 2 weeks ago:
I already do that sometimes, but would obviously do it more if others were doing so more because then I’d have more things to react to. Chicken and egg problem.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not even popular in the western world. It’s still a relatively niche and unknown platform that most people in any given country haven’t heard of. For example I know of two communities about my home country (which is in the EU and western world), !austria@feddit.org and !austria@europe.pub and if you look at them you can see that they get very little activity despite a lot of things happening in Austria all the time.
- Comment on When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old? 2 weeks ago:
Do you mean lemm.ee/post/56789435?scrollToComments=true maybe? Several people in there seem to be complaining about the same thing, but it’s not happening for me on my instance, not sure what’s going on.
- Comment on When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old? 3 weeks ago:
When you sort what by “newest”?
- Comment on Wikipedia not rendering math formulas? 3 weeks ago:
You can click the edit or view source link and try to figure out what it’s supposed to say from there. This is certainly an error on the Wikimedia Foundation servers’ side. There used to be IRC channels where you could make the sysadmins aware of problems like this, not sure those still exist.
- Comment on Wikipedia not rendering math formulas? 3 weeks ago:
The Wikimedia Foundation server’s “localhost”, i.e. the computer the wiki software is running from. That does make sense.
- Comment on Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a language selection option in your preferences. Some people may have that set up to not show “undetermined” although at least on my instance the interface warns that people won’t see most content if they deselect that.
I never select a language when commenting, though have done so a few times before (not recently) when starting new threads. It seems that sometimes this is automatically determined, although I can’t tell what this depends on.
