on What are some examples of great European programming languages? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk · 8 Sep 2026
I agree Qt is a language. C+++. It own preprocessor before the C/C++ preprocessor. Unless that has gone now… been a while since I was made to do Qt.

Not sure ARM64 really counts as it’s own thing it is so “normal”. (Unlike ARM32/24)

I’d argue there is a network effect lockin going on with Google, and it needs fixing by governments. Google, and others, should have to share basic road speed data.
OS Maps are great. You know MapMen? They love OS Maps.

I only skimmed.
I’m not joking about the Ordnance Survey bit. When I’m on walks, I often am in area with bugger all phone reception (common in the UK) and the quality of the maps means it really is as good.
It’s why the lack of traffic upsets me so, because I’d love to use it in the car as my main maps for Android Auto, but without traffic, that’s just doesn’t work well enouhg.

It’s great in many ways, and maps are great. You can get Ordnance Survey style maps.
BUT it desperately needs traffic information in its route finding. It frequently makes terrible decisions in the absence of this data.

By there not being enough consequences for these boys, not only are you making more boys like this, but not doing those boys any favours either. No one mentally healthy is going to want to be with that kind of boy.
Weak parents. Weak schools. Weak government. Failing everyone.
