I have it turned off. But maybe that option is not available outside of EU? I don’t know.

JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgOPto Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•Tips for starting a wildflower meadow?English4·4 months agoThat is considered non-native here and it is very difficult to get rid of it.
The following links are in Slovak, but there are latin names of the plants.

I have found a seed mix that appears to not have any invasive plants (site in German): https://www.bloomling.de/samen-maier/bio-nuetzlingsweide-summ-summ-wiese, and it is also available in my country.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Buy European@feddit.uk•Do you know European brands selling vegan shoes?3·4 months agoThe Slovak company Novesta makes some: https://www.gonovesta.com/en/vegan-shoes Star Master / Dribble and a couple of other models are also made just from cotton, caoutchouc (so plastic-free except for the insole which is recycled rubber). Leather, rubber and synthetic material shoes are also available if you prefer that. Personally, I own a pair of Star Masters and they are pretty nice, although for my next purchase, I would choose shoes that are less flat. Also important to note: after 2 years, the heel counter is getting worn out from the inside.

JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Ukraine-sceptic government ally Peter Pellegrini wins Slovakian presidential election2·1 year agoAs a Slovak, I am frustrated. The opposition seems unable to gain support from voters on the countryside, which is the majority of the population - they are the easiest to convince, usually by lying and fearmongering (i. e. “Korčok will send slovak men to Ukraine”), or giving promises they plan on never achieving but sound nice (reducing prices, even though they are doing the opposite).
The current government has plans to dissassemble the slovak TV and radio in favour of a state influenced alternative (essentially for propaganda purposes), is reducing punishment for criminals, rapists and thieves (as many of them are now in the government).
The country’s debt is growing (now at ~7b euros), railways, healthcare and schools are falling. Things still kind of work, but they are held by duct tape.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Is osmand normally terrible?14·1 year agoThat’s definitely not normal. The rendering can be a bit slow, but everything else shold be usable. Unless you have a low-range phone. If that is the case, I can recommend Organic Maps, which are much less resource-intensive.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•What are some libraries, software, etc... that you'd like to see be built in open-source?English2·1 year agoOrganic Maps currently only supports metro/subway navigation, not buses, trains or other types of PT (although they are planning on introducing a new map layer for that). Bike routing works, although only fully separated bike paths are rendered.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action?English1·2 years agoHmm, maybe some forum platform would be a good alternative? I feel like the Reddit format of Lemmy focuses more on news, rather than the forum format which is more about deeper discussions… Just an idea.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content3·2 years agoWell, you can create an account from EU, although mine got locked after creating just one blog post. And the support does not seem to respond, so I moved to a different platform.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•Proposal:Continuous crossings - OpenStreetMap WikiEnglish2·2 years agoI usually map these with a bare node - you could also use crossing=unmarked. I honestly don’t think a new tag is necessary.

JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Office apps for Android?13·2 years agoOnlyOffice has a usable client for mobile. And it’s FOSS.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?3·2 years agoOSM has much better coverage in Europe as more volunteers contibute. I heard it’s not that great in the US.
JohnDumpling@beehaw.orgto Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•A smolnet post I made on doomerism and dead cities3·2 years agoI love your style of writing :) I’ll bookmark your site in my gemini browser. I also think the post fits as it’s urbanism- and community-related.

Included in the subscribtion is an online document editor for personal notes and documents. Everything fully encrypted of course & works across all platforms.
Czecho-Slovak QWERTZ is fine, but it annoys me that you have to guess whether a keyboard is set to QWERTY or QWERTZ. Z and Y are the only characters that are switched. I gave up as I frequently switch to English QWERTY; now I just use QWERTY for both languages.
