“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift
I wish I did. :(
I’ve never heard anything about this. In fact, I’ve never heard of overlays on CoMaps generally. My only guess is that maybe the rumor is related to OsmAnd, which does let you create custom overlays given a URL source.
I only use CoMaps on desktop, which is to say not very often, so I’m a lot less familiar with it. Sorry!
You can help too!!
Check out DeFlock, and by all means, come join us on OpenStreetMap. It looks like about 400–500 cameras have been added in the last few days.
If there’s anything I can personally do to help you (yes, you, reading this) get involved with OSM – even just a pep talk – I’ll do whatever I can. There are a million different ways you can help, regardless of if you’re in Paris reading the WikiHow for heisting the Louvre or stranded in the wilderness using your last five minutes of battery to browse Lemmy.

You of all people talking about other people enjoying their echo chamber is goddamn hilarious given the one you moderate.
As though somone blaming Ukraine for “refusing to negotiate peace” has any room to speak on “inconvenient truths”.
Active functioning search engine website “OFFICIAL LAUNCHES” - Google: August 1998 Yandex: 23 September 1997
What on Earth is this link supposed to show? Did you just expect that nobody would check it?
In August 1998, Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote Larry and Sergey a check for $100,000, and Google Inc. was officially born. With this investment, the newly incorporated team made the upgrade from the dorms to their first office: a garage in suburban Menlo Park, California, owned by Susan Wojcicki (employee #16 and former CEO of YouTube). Clunky desktop computers, a ping pong table, and bright blue carpet set the scene for those early days and late nights.
This once again establishes that Google Inc. came about in August 1998, not that Google Search did. Google Search existed in 1997; it was a registered, functioning website with a web search engine.
Edit: Huh, I see it’s a bit more complicated. Google Search was available at google.stanford.edu during 1997. Which is still a functioning domain that uses Google Search to index the web.
Edit 2: Unrelated to this, the fact the first version of the Google logo was created in GIMP is so quaint. TIL
Double nope.
Google was officially launched in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to market Google Search, [emphasis mine] which has become the most used web-based search engine.
Google Search had already existed since the domain was registered. (EDIT: See comments below. I don’t know that this is true. It seems google.stanford.edu was up as a functioning web search engine in 1997, but this is getting murky.) You’re talking about Google Inc. the company which was created in 1998. Google Search was launched in 1997.
However, by that comparison, it’s vastly less close, as Yandex LLC was first legally registered 14 September 2000.
TL;DR: You were comparing apples to oranges.
Search website:
Legally registered company:
Edit: And to clarify, I think the sensible metric here, that works in Yandex’s favor by bringing the two within eight days of each other instead of approximately two years, is to use the date their search engine websites launched and were functioning, not when they filed paperwork that said “We’re legally a company now 🥳”.
That’s not true.
Which makes them hilariously close, but Google still precedes Yandex, as their search engine websites were their first products.
Sorry, I realize that question could be interpreted in two ways: I meant for Fairphone not to try to get Graphene working on their phone. I know Motorola is trying to do that right now, for example.
ELI5: Why use /e/OS over Graphene? This isn’t a rhetorical rant; I’m genuinely curious.
Edit: See below. I misphrased this question.
The scene is cut in a way that you don’t know for sure they aren’t paying him. They’re probably pretty loyal, long-time customers given the way they all run right there after school, so he can take it on the honors system that they’ll pay for what they’re taking. (And he’s probably able to keep track of it pretty well on his own given he knows their names and preferred candies by heart.)
As for the candy he throws aimlessly into the crowd, I’m sure he can afford to blow some pennies’ worth of money on customer retention by literally throwing candy at them.

Fucking gold.
Hot take: botched disclosures like this should open a company to criminal liability. We need to start treating SWE with the same level of scrutiny we do other engineering fields and not “oopsie poopsie, I accidentally just disclosed an attack that endangers global infrastructure.”
Edit: Also, just of fucking course it’s a buffer overflow in C code. “No way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens” vibes.
