Because it's an option already. "Transliterate to Latin letters."

Edit: I should add that you should look at how many keyboard layouts there are. It's kind of silly that for me to use an OSM based map and go to any county east of Slovenia I need to both have the keyboard AND know the transliteration of the alphabet.

Have you seen the Armenian or Georgian alphabets? What makes the K sound?

Did you know every dialect of a Slavic language using Cyrillic has it's own distinct keyboard varied by mostly the letter for the nya sound and J?

Greek?

All while transliteration works fine in Google.

Destination search in all the OSM based maps is a challenge. The Latin letter transliteration only applies to large features. So if I want to find an address in a country try that doesn't use Latin script, I literally need a keyboard in that language or do a lot of cut and paste from Google Translate. My address never, ever works on OSM. Gets the wrong street, can't even handle house/building numbers. Works fine on Google.

Not all states. Fewer do this than don't, IIRC.

Depends on the person. My spouse and I, along with 5 or 6 friends, use a variety of key words from a couple shared languages to talk about things when we don't want other to understand. Mostly haggling or talking about sales stuff to discuss if we like something or think it's too expensive when a human is hovering right there. So I can give body language of disappointment while saying "this is great."

This 100%.

Wealthy people essentially pay staff to do make things happen for them, and those staff don't sign up for IG or FB stressing abou making sure to use their ONE email like RichieRich1975@hotmail.com for everything.

PA staff are both IT staff and human password managers, creating and curating massive sets of logins that are functionally disposable. With enough clout and money, if you DO have a problem with a social media platform, or your phone number, a PA calls an Executive CSR and sorts out the problem.

So it's that their "privacy" is masked by the haphazard way they interact with things that track them. For them, tracking them is security to ensure you know who they are so that have a frictionless experience. If they want a dummy account to creep on people or be a perv, they get that easily, too.

My only regret is not buying more Euros at $1.11/€1

Anyone know what Linux distro? I assume Ubuntu...

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago

Yes, from a general misunderstanding of how microwave ovens work, and what "radiation" was during the 1960s and 70s.

Rural poor checking in.

I've lived in a camper, and then in the back of a convenience store my patents ran. Eventually upgraded to a doublewide. But I went to a rural school with like 40 kids that were all also poor. One kid and his family were miners living in a series of vans upon blocks by the mine. My best friend and his family lived in a half used rundown motel, the other half too broken down to bother living in. The richest kid was a rancher's family that lived in a barndominium.

So every family on TV was rich to me, but it was TV, so I figured it was all fantasy land anyway. Star Trek wasnt real, either. I had seen a "normal" school before 3rd grade, but by high school and college, people that thought Nickelodeon (which I didn't see until college anyway) shows were relatable at all just seemed like space aliens to me. I was likely more the space alien to them.

My, my. Look at all the open source, privacy focused period trackers in the Fdroid store.

There's a good chance another seagull ate the body before it was even cold.
