Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases, and no user information is collected in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.
As a temporary workaround you can install the upcoming Google Play update from this link: cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/Organi…
This APK should work with Android Auto.

The Apple IIGS Megahertz Myth
I love the Apple IIGS. It’s a great computer, but could it have been greater? The legend goes that Apple purposefully underclocked its CPU during development to avoid competing with the Macintosh.Dan Vincent (Userlandia)
This is why friends don't let friends buy app-controlled (or internet of things connected) domestic appliances.
It's always an excuse to up-sell you shit you don't need, and when that fails, the owners (not you, the corporations!) will jack up the rent.

2.9 billion records possibly leaked in data breach: Protect yourself
In an epic data breach, hackers claim to have taken 2.9 billion personal records from National Public Data. Most of the data are leaked online.Jon Healey (Los Angeles Times)
NationalPublicData.com Hack Exposes a Nation’s Data
A great many readers this month reported receiving alerts that their Social Security Number, name, address and other personal information were exposed in a breach at a little-known but aptly-named consumer data broker called NationalPublicData.com.krebsonsecurity.com
Here's a video I want to age like curdled milk. Age so quickly it's out-of-date a week after it's made. The issues I've outlined here should be fairly simple fixes if they follow Apple's accessibility guidelines, so here's hoping someone at Floatplane Media can get some eyes on this.
I've tried to be as fair as possible, not just to make a 'bitch and ditch' style video, and to showcase the issues I have.
Please boost if you have an interest, or know that it can potentially reach someone who can make a difference.
Not my cup of tea to ask for those under normal circumstances, so I will not be making a habit of it.
Thanks.

Instead they just kinda... gave you a refund? I understand that this is probably some support misunderstanding but like... to an accessibility issue? That feels super tone deaf. lol. Come on LMG. You can do better than this! We know you can! You know we exist, you made a video including accessible Linux! Big sad puppy eyes

Good morning everyone @Friendica Support
I would like to try to understand why from Friendica I can't connect to the Wordpress blog of @.mau. :friendfeed: already federated with @Matthias Pfefferle plugin, which is instead displayed correctly by Mastodon.
The blog is xmau.com/ while the user who publishes is @Notiziole di .mau.
If I paste the address of this post xmau.com/wp/notiziole/2024/08/…
in the Friendica toolbar, I get an error, while if I paste it on mastodon, I can view the post (here is an example: mastodon.social/@
Furthermore, if I try to search on Friendica for the user @Notiziole di .mau. I can see it, but if I try to follow it, I still get an error.
NB: I also have federation problems with Lemmy and not just with Friendica
Have any of you figured out what the problem might be that prevents Friendica and Lemmy from federating with that blog (but not Mastodon)?

Hi, thanks for your wonderful app. I am very grateful for all your work.

V Praze máte radši auta než děti, věřím ale, že vystřízlivění přijde, říká slavný dánský architekt Gehl
Celý život poslouchá „my nejsme Kodaň, tady to nepůjde“. Slavný dánský architekt Jan Gehl ale úspěšně vedl proměnu řady měst včetně světových metropolí. Působil také v Praze – té jeho tým před lety navrhl proměnu magistrály, která zůstala v šuplíku.Prokop Vodrážka (Deník N)

Last spring, Washington State passed a bill banning commercial octopus farming.
Today, we (myself and 99 others, led by Jennifer Jacquet, Becca Franks, Peter Godfrey-Smith, and Walter Sanchez-Suarez) have a letter in Science supporting the US OCTOPUS Act, which would do the same nationwide.
Octopuses cannot be farmed humanely.
They are highly intelligent, extremely curious creatures that fare poorly in monotonous environment without natural stimulation. They are naturally solitary and experience intense stress in crowded environments.
Farming conditions are horrible for them.
(It's also highly inefficient, ecologically, to farm carnivores.)

Since 2020, Next Generation Internet (NGI) programmes, part of the European Commission's Horizon programme, fund free software in Europe using a cascade funding mechanism. This year, according to the Horizon Europe working draft detailing funding programmes for 2025, we notice that Next Generation Internet is not mentioned any more as part of Cluster 4.

Spectrum Cable TV & Internet Customers Are Being Targeted With A New Scam | Cord Cutters News
Recently the number of scammers targeting customers of large cable TV companies have grown. One of the biggest recently has been callers claiming to give customers half off internet for a year if they prepay for six months in advance.Luke Bouma (Cord Cutters News)
Major tech companies are producing far more carbon emissions than they suggest in their sustainability reports.
They’re lobbying hard to rewrite the rules on how emissions are calculated to show net zero on paper, but not in practice.

in reply to Organic Maps • • •Reason might be simpler then you could possible imagine, in my humble subjective opinion: Google PlayStore is explicitly for tracking the user and with in-app purchases to squeeze every little money out of there is.
Your own App don't do anything of the above mentioned malicious capitalism and anti user friendly behavior. 😉

in reply to Stefan • • •You should see that "kicked out of Google PlayStore" more as an Reward then punishment by Google.
Of course you lose some visibility to potential new Users in the PlayStore from Google but do you want all those ones in the first place for an App with all the benefits for Privacy like yours?
