I’m German. I won’t touch this conflict with a stick from 10meters away. (Which means our government has similar issues, especially with all the fake news floating around and people who think this is their sign to show public antisemitism… in Germany!!!)

Definetly one of the subscriptions I don’t regret as much as others but still a steep cost for my frequency of usage. I need it approx 6 weeks per year and only as backup when traveling/hiking.

A free alternative (simply Osm) is much appreciated.

I didn’t know about Organic-Maps. I used Osmand, which has a subscription fee for downloading maps.

Thx!

This. Lemmy is the way to go. Decentralized Communities connected via API.

I don’t see many other possibilities. The system needs a “free for ever” mechanic or big money shits into everything.

If the apartments are no shoe boxes and have lavishly big (garden) balconies I’m all in. The space should be around 100-120 qm each with flexible drywall placement for individual footprints.

I love living in a walkable city but I envy a friend of mine a little bit, who exits his apartment into a market center with cafes, shops, supermarkets, barber, doctors etc.

From your description alone, knowing only the US and not Japan, it sounds like Europe is the middle ground. Not as free, but less socially oppressive. I mean, in Japan it’s mean to walk while you eat… how deep is the interference running?

Edit: Am from Europe, sorry should have added this.

I have probably lost lots of pictures die to head crash. WD especially
