Discovering agriculture
I am installing fedora kinoite to most of the people I install gnulinux to. All noobs.
I know that is the idea most people have, but I think it's not true, and I live it
You are paying a huge price in terms of both privacy and the future of humanity though
That manual confirmation will take forever
I used to use nextcloud but it won't work uploading fron android... Sync both ways fron desktop but only download from android. Now I am using syncthing and seems to work ok.
I did the same of you. I reached a high level as a google guide, was invited to google map meetings and everything.
And then I suddenly realized all my efforts were just helping this company get bigger and achieve more monopoly. The terms of use of google maps state that everything you add becomes property of google.
And then I Found OpenStreetMap.org a lovely community in which you really are building a community effort in which there is no company monopolizing and all data is open. Sadly, you can't import all the work you've done on google maps, because now it is copyright protected by Google. So we have to start again, but it is worth it.
OSM is the future if we are to hope for a fair future in online maps.
Asus went the bad way. Check out louis rossman vídeos about asus, héroes one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQqKi9NcTs It is a company to be avoided. It went the non ethical way.
Snap is not good. Flatpak is.
I've tried many things in this situations (seeing other girls, distracting with alcohol/drugs, etc) but they all just seem to alleviate the pain when they just throw it under the rug for a while.
For me, the best way to handle this has been to face my pain altogether. This pain does not come from this event. It is my own ancient pain that has been triggered by my now ex. Staying with the pain, listening to it, feeling it in your body and letting it be there is a transformative act.
I recommend listening to Pema Chödron's videos or books. Maybe "When things fall apart". I personally have been helped a lot by doing the "tonglen" meditation.
I used to contribute to google maps. I had the same vision you do. But then I learned about their dark way of stealing people's data. All your contributions to google maps are now property of google. You are giving away your efforts so one of the richest world companies becomes richer. And keep abusing their users. So now I use openstreetmap.org
If you needed a light car with simple mechanics, it was kinda fitted though
