Unfortunately there are very few open review projects and none that people have tried to actually integrate into one of the OSM apps. It makes me rather disappointed as finding businesses and checking reviews is one of the most common uses I have for Google Maps and yet OSM cannot replace it.

If they had any hope in hell of winning my riding, I might not. Until then I am going to vote for the party that has a chance of being elected. Sadly we don't have ranked voting yet.

Depends what you use and how you use it. With how I use my computer, I have issues on Windows that require terminal input to solve and are more confusing than many of the Linux issues I face, but the way I use Linux also requires terminal. Some applications just work better or only on terminal whether you're on Windows or Linux and some debugging steps will inevitably take you down the dark road of decade old menus and terminal commands.

Day to day basic tasks though? It shouldn't need any special knowledge, provided that you don't follow the wrong online tutorials like I did when starting out. For example, Firefox was out of date so I looked up how to update Firefox. The package manager did not have a new version and I didn't think to manually go into settings and refresh the repository (stores auto update, right? Well, no actually...). Basically I ended up trying to install via a .deb package from their website... it didn't work and I felt Linux was dumb. What I should have done was update my OS and package manager first or simply sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade (yes this is terminal, sorry). My point is, sometimes you have to realise the question you are asking is flawed and not the system.

Ignoring the rest of your points, I disagree on porn piracy. Not that I would know, being a good Christian ofc ofc, but that scene feels the most alive. If I want to find content from a certain site/person then it is generally a couple of searches away. No private trackers or special software needed. When I compare that to other scenes that require much harder to find websites, applications, etcetera... and it's been that way every time I've checked. I don't think it's going anywhere soon.

No, they're saying it's 20:00 in the day, or 8PM, and it's 30C out. This implies it was hotter earlier, presumably around 35C or 100F. 30-35C is not the hottest, but it's hot, and different humidity levels will affect how bad it feels. Those unused to it will have a rough time.

I actually think the poor branding is part of why Mastodon is hard to spread. Can you picture anyone seriously saying they "tooted" something? Because I can't.

This may be unhelpful, but I ended up port forwarding through my VPN. I seem to recall errors with UPnP and while my connection to slsk.net is still buggy, it works better now I've manually forwarded. I had already paid the extra $2 a month to my VPN for forwarding so that I could get better torrent performance, so.

Need an automod that will insta-ban with no recourse anyone posting pig balls.

Two main issues with this approach, in my opinion:

• Instance blocking does not block comments. If multiple Hexbear users decides to harass you, you will keep seeing their replies until you manage to block every user to blame. I don't want to go through this.

• Every new user to lemmy.ca will have to put up with the sea of bad-faith Hexbear users until they also go through this multi-phase blocking process, which is a terrible onboarding experience.

While these aren't huge issues if Hexbear plays nice, I don't trust that to be the case. From my experience of the last time I just have to assume it will be more harassment and more ASCII/emote spam and do not wish for our instance to be polluted by that.

Thanks for bringing this to the community instead of immediately making a decision yourselves. It is nice to have the opportunity to be a part of the choice, since it's open as a possibility.

That said, no thank you. Lemmy instance blocking still cannot block both posts and users, which means that even though we can avoid their posts as we wish, we will still be inundated by Hexbear replies on every post. Considering that the comments are quite possibly the worst part of Hexbear, this will result in the same shit-show we had last time. The comments on their refederation post just reassure me that we don't want to be associated with them. I won't shed a tear to be missing out on the 5 extra meme posts on my all page.

You actually don't need a quest, although it does make it easier to access. If you go to the "Surface" layer you can add steps like so:

• Tap on a path to select it.
• If you need to select a smaller section, tap the 3 dots in the bottom left and select "Split Way".
• To make them steps, tap the 3 dots in the bottom left and tap "These are steps".
