Notorious b.s.d. posted:the biggest problem in cities is sewage and garbage collection. we know how to solve those problems, and yet half the world's cities are in deplorable states bangalore is one of the worst examples of this. open loving sewer drains in over 3/4th of the city and the river is a gigantic sewage dump as well. 90% of the freshwater lakes are contaminated by sewage and/or chemical waste. but hey the rich parts of the city have nice sewage systems so no one gives a gently caress

I'd be more ok with getting ads based on my Facebook profile instead of google searches but I use Adblock anyway. I do kind of want ads that I might actually be interested in but it's all just annoying bullshit atm

Hello thread I'm posting here to complain about how it's now basically impossible to view a custom Google Map on a mobile device. There used to be a "My Maps" tab in the official Maps app, but they removed it and now you have to download a separate "My Maps" app. This wouldn't be horrible, but My Maps is a totally broken mess - all of the map pins are pixelated, if you zoom in or out none of the pins resize correctly, and a lot of pins are totally invisible unless you zoom in just right.
