  • At least Chromecast for TV basically does this. I can search for something and it will tell me all the ways I can watch for any installed app even unsubscribed.

    Still, the issue of paying multiple monthly fees to see what you want is ludicrous. It’s as if the media companies maliciously complied with consumers’ desire to pick and choose what they watch rather than pay $200 a month for 1000 stations they don’t watch.

    Now, you have to pay $200 to get all the services that have what you want to watch - and you still have to sift through the drek.

    Much better, that. /s

    The reason you can’t find addresses is likely because the data is not added to the maps in your region. I have similar problems here, though my state got much detail from batch updates last year.

    I found a resource that merges addresses into osmand maps monthly, for north america and beyond. Even better, it does so in a way that normal address layout for north Americans can be used when searching.

    Here in north america, we search by typing “255 maple street, some town 01234”, while osmand expects something like " USA some town street 123".

    You can download merged maps from opensupermaps.com, and find almost any address you seek, then you can navigate. Osmand is pretty good with directions, but sometimes messes up. Magic Earth is better at navigation, and has similar features to Waze. OSMAnd has much greater map detail, where people have uploaded it.








  • Thanks for enumerating the counter points. I’m immediately turned off by his vocal style, but I can look past that long enough to evaluate the content.

    I have two big issues with it:

    • His assertions lack references to supporting evidence
    • his political allegiance gives me pause

    I will check out his content more before I write him off.

    It appears the android client he used is Cheogram, which I use. It is forked from Conversations, and is excellent. JMP.CHAT maintains it, and pretty much supports all of the xmpp standards. Including gateways to phone PBX, SMS, and Matrix.

    They and sopranica offer fully compliant servers, including self hosting.
