🗺️ Maps are an essential part of many modern applications.
You need them on websites, in mobile apps, in navigation systems – and sometimes even printed on paper! 📱🖥️🖨️

For high-quality, easy-to-use maps in digital and print projects, OpenStreetMap is a great choice. ✅
Want to know how to implement it?

A #reboot is a solution to many tech problems. But if you are on #Linux, did you know you need to reboot only if your kernel has changed? Otherwise you can do a "soft reboot" and get the same thing. You need to kill the init process and make it respawn. It varies from distro to distro but on #systemd ones, you can do systemctl soft-reboot and it'll do the job for you.

Also if you have problem with your graphical shell, you can simply restart your graphical stuff. Not even a soft reboot is needed. For instance if your display manager is lightdm like me, simply do systemctl restart lightdm.

I think this applies to other #unixlike operating systems with the similar kernel and system architecture as Linux. Maybe #BSD people can share their experience?

Tired of generic AI outputs? 🤖 My favorite "little" trick that saves me hours involves a 'Persona-Driven Refinement Loop.' It's all about making the AI adopt a specific expert role and then critique and improve its own draft!

This simple process has been a game-changer for getting truly targeted and high-quality results. I've detailed my step-by-step method in my latest Medium article.

Cuando me preguntan si merece la pena pasarse a Linux, podría empezar enumerando sus virtudes, lo bien que funciona en sistemas antiguos o la cantidad de software y herramientas que vienen preinstaladas. Sin embargo, prefiero que me respondan a una cosa. ¿No has notado algo usando Windows últimamente? Algo como...

- Que la máquina no es tuya, sino que la tienes de prestado.

- Que no haces con ella lo que quieres, sino lo que te dejan hacer.

- Que debes vivir cada día con temor a que tu Windows se bloquee tras una actualización, a que te inunden de publicidad, a que metan funciones que no quieres y te quiten las que sí, a que roben y comercien con tus datos...

A todo eso le da la vuelta Linux. Tu PC vuelve a ser tuyo y trabajar para ti. Por muy oscuro, técnico o diferente que parezca (y al final no lo es tanto), es un sistema operativo diseñado por gente que piensa en hacerlo útil para otra gente, no en atarte a un producto o servicio para sacarte el dinero. Hay una comunidad de personas, haciendo cosas para personas.

Linux es una maravilla técnica, basada en conceptos sencillos, humanos y cada vez más necesarios.

Lesson #3-M: Promo Codes

Did you know that there are not as many websites that offer promo codes anymore?

While there are some sites that offer codes and coupons for their own products, majority of the sites that do offer promo codes only attach tracking cookies instead. Better to subscribe to the place you are trying to shop from versus take a chance with a third-party website that you know little about.
