  • I love citymapper, however it only covers a limited number of urban areas, is UK based and most importantly got bought by Via Transportation in 2023 (US based).

    It seems like many city/regional operators have their own apps, this might be an option for you ?

    You might also want to have a look at the apps that use transitous.org (listed on their homepage). Amongst them is cartes.app, which is a really exciting open source gmaps alternative wannabe, hosted in France (see cartes.app/roadmap for more technical details). Although it’s still a wip, they’ve made great strides recently and I’ve started using it to replace some of GMaps’ use cases. The only issue is, errrr, there’s no English interface for now :) It’s still a small team, so they’re keeping internationalisation for later.


  • They give the example of Tailwind CSS, who sell UI blocks/kits and templates. I think that sounds like more added value than just pay me to help you use my software.

    This is already happening. Last month, Tailwinds—an open source CSS framework that helps people build websites—laid off three of its four engineers. Tailwinds is extremely popular, more popular than it’s ever been, but revenue has plunged.

    Tailwinds head Adam Wathan explained why in a post on GitHub. “Traffic to our docs is down about 40% from early 2023 despite Tailwind being more popular than ever,” he said. “The docs are the only way people find out about our commercial products, and without customers we can’t afford to maintain the framework.

    Even for projects that don’t advertise commercial products, I can believe that not needing to leave the chat/IDE to do anything leads to less traffic on GitHub etc, which is where the donate buttons are for ex.

    To toot the Nextcloud horn and suggest a provider, I switched from GDrive to Nextcloud hosted on a Hetzner Storage Share a few months ago and it’s been smooth and fun, for 5-6€/month for 1TB (not sure how it compares, but it feels a acceptable, as GDrive was costing me 3€). Now I also have my calendar, tasks, and I’m currently migrating my bookmark managing from Raindrop. I used to share GPhoto albums with family and I’m trying this next with the Memories app.

    However, it seems like there’s no solution to easily backup Whatsapp content without GDrive, but as long as there’s less than 15GB of stiff I can at least stay on Google’s free plan.








  • To add some more context on why you’re seeing this everywhere right now, the 2017 game was very successful, they announced the sequel in 2019 and then… kind of stopped communicating for a very long time. They only recently announced that it was releasing on Sept 4, basically bursting a gigantic bubble of anticipation (see r/silksong posts from before the release to gauge the level of insanity the wait had created)






  • According to Yuka (a food and cosmetics rating system), most brands listed in the OP image do not have a good rating. There are two moderate risk ingredients : Sodium Laurel Sulfate (listed as an irritant and an allergen, present in Botot, some Colgate products, OralB, some sensodyne products and some paradontax products) and Titanium dioxide (listed as potential carcinogen, present in some paradontax and some oral-B, I think it’s for teeth whitening). Having a “Moderate risk” ingredient means your score cannot be better than “Poor”.

    The app also lists other potential allergens that are “Low risk” and present in most most products across brands (there are sometimes differences within the same brand). If a product only has low risk ingredients, its rating is usually “Good” or “Excellent”.

    I couldn’t find exactly the pictured product, but this danish brand has an “Excellent” rating on all of its products, not a full score because it includes some of the Low Risk allergens. The best rated products are actually from Elmex.

    Of course this is just one arbitrary rating system, but it’s quite transparent and you can get all the details for risk for each ingredient, backed by scientific literature. Also the app is free if you want to scan barcodes :)






  • I also think this bias was probably taken into account if it exists, I’m more interested in how they translated “drunk” in other languages (or if they used more precise phrasing). I feel like the translation could be perceived as a weaker or stronger level of intoxication than what is meant in English by drunk.

    However, the wording of the article makes it feel like this is not the only study reporting similar results, so that’s a good sign (well, or bad…).
