Technology@lemmy.world•Google Maps said a hike would take 5 hours. B.C. rescuers pointed out how wrong that wasEnglish
3·13 hours agoI use comaps which is offline open street maps, generally better but can still be lacking.
Nothing is ever perfect and the quality also depends how active the OSM community is. In general Komoot is the common person’s way to access OSM data.

Yeah, basically by claiming libel.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Collabora and Valve have built and released a preview aarch64 port of Arch Linux (Holo Core) for the Steam FrameEnglish
2·4 days agoMan, if it was that simple, ALARM wouldn’t exist and arch would have (at least) allowed aarch64 packages in the AUR years ago.
Arch’s policy is to offer only x64 binaries. They don’t offer ARM packages because they don’t want to. ALARM exists because Arch does not want the contributions.
While it’s not zero work, your claim of reinventing the wheel overstates what compiling software that’s already compatible with ARM requires.
I’m reading what Collabora wrote and nowhere is that blog post did they state that compiling stuff for ARM and the packaging are the hard parts. They explicitly called out the reproducibility parts, not the rest.
If your small community project with dead forums and broken logs (see below) can do it, a team of full time Linux engineers can do it in a relatively small amount of time, probably with logs.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Collabora and Valve have built and released a preview aarch64 port of Arch Linux (Holo Core) for the Steam FrameEnglish
5·4 days agoPackage repositories, recipes, and support paths
The existing stuff needs to be adapted, not reinvented. In my time as packaging some software for my own use under openSUSE I barely seen software that needed adaptions in the package spec file for other CPU architectures. Emulators were the most common exceptions I encountered and even that changed a lot since then thanks to upstreams porting those to Android and Apple M processors. Collabora lists as main challenges the ability to access the upstream source codes for reproducibility, not “repositories, recipes, and support paths”.

Android@lemdro.id•Samsung is installing Amazon Music on your phone whether you like it or notEnglish
11·4 days agoGoogle is no longer supporting new Pixel phones in AOSP. The days of custom ROMs just working on Pixels is over. Consider getting Fairphone if custom ROMs are a must have for you.

Android@lemdro.id•Samsung is installing Amazon Music on your phone whether you like it or notEnglish
2·4 days agoIt’s a misleading headline. They aren’t installing the app on your phone. They’ll preinstall it on phones in the factory before they’re sold.

1·11 days agothe S27 Ultra/Pro next year sounds like it’s shaping up to be a far more interesting device compared to any of the phones they released in the last few years.
After reading this I googled it and what I read didn’t sound super exciting. Just the regular spec bump and I’m skeptical of the reported RAM increase. Wouldn’t be surprised if they cut RAM like everybody else. So unless you want a Ultra level model in a base level enclosure, I don’t see what the “far more interesting device” is.
I could get somewhat excited if someone made a Xperia Play type phone with a full FEX-enabled Steam client.
