Sssh! Don't give them ideas...

It's one thing to "interact with a brand" by directly using their products, it's another thing to "interact with a brand" by receiving unsolicited advertisements which get in the way of whatever you were trying to accomplish.

Yes? That's the whole point.

100 years ago it was unthinkable for common people to eat red meat every day, they just couldn't afford it. Today, we are privileged enough that we can afford to do so, but just because we can it doesn't mean we should. It's not good for you.

Same happens in the tech world: we can afford to buy new tech devices to keep up with the bloat that inevitably envelops most things, but should we?

I had a similarly appalling experience with a Samsung smartphone in, I think, 2012? Since then, I swore to never but anything Samsung again.

Came here to write the same thing :)

They rewrote the UI recently in their own toolkit, Floem [^1], and that broke all scaling under X11 for me (now the UI and fonts are rendered so large that it's unusable). It works fine in Wayland though...

Here's some issues that were filed for this same problem:

  - https://github.com/lapce/lapce/issues/2732
  - https://github.com/lapce/lapce/issues/2773

I think it worked fine for me with basically no setup, so I'm curious: what kind of setup did it require for you?

not hiding status bar (it's the freaking home screen!)

showing keyboard right away. sortin etc. different icons for contacts.

still missing fuzzy match

I've been using it for years and most things I need nowadays just work (i.e. have Fish support out of the box).

For all the rest, perhaps give https://github.com/edc/bass a try.

Be careful when using StreetComplete. It's by far the most user-friendly OSM editor out there, but it bundles edits together in one big changeset. I didn't know that, so I used it on occasion to fill in information about places I was visiting, and right after to fill in information about places far away that I know intimately (where I live). This created a very geographically large changeset which got reviewers to shout at me multiple times about it (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset#Geographical_s...).

> […] which got reviewers to shout at me multiple times about it

As an avid OpenStreetMapper I’m sorry you’ve been shouted at for something that is „not recommended“, but not really a big issue. This should not happen in our community! At most someone should have told you to try to avoid large bounding boxes as it is much easier to review geographically small changesets.

Sometimes large ones happen, especially if StreetComplete is set up this way, as matkoniecz mentions in another comment.

> t bundles edits together in one big changeset

have you enabled manual uploading (that needs to be done in settings and warns about need for triggering regular uploads)?

or have you edited just before and after air travel, and enabled plane mode before changes had chance to upload?

This was a while back so I can't recall precisely. Yes, I think I was travelling at the time, but I don't think the changes happened just before stepping on the plane, and I did have connectivity.

Name checks out? But thanks for the warning. I think my current usage patterns incidentally stop me from hitting that behaviour. I happen to know the sibling commenter contributes to the app, so hopefully it can be fixed.
