But you would call Alexander or Alexandra "Sasha" or even "Shura" in some Slavic languages. And you call Robert "Bob" in the US.
On the same topic, are "Alexander", "Aleksandr" and "Oleksandr" the same name or not? What about "John" and "Ivan"?

I just want to say I appreciate that you made a level-headed list of current issues.
Many of the comments about mobile Linux devolve into entitlement and unrealistic demands, which is rather discouraging.
Plus, AFAIK, Purism is one of the few companies that pays their developers to write FOSS code, which produced the Phosh UI, basic call and text apps, and mobile-friendly UI library.
By "nonstandard SIM" do you mean one of two common SIM sizes that are not "nano", which is preferred by current phones?
GNSS means it's global. Which includes US GPS, as well as Europe's Galileo, Russia's GLONASS, and China's BeiDou. Wikipedia
TBH I haven't used traffic feature (or WeGo, really) enough to know if it's good.
Has been since 2018, and acquisition news caused quite an upset at the time.
I have been using Organic Maps for many years. They are offline-first, and use OpenStreetMap for the data. Since it's OpenStreetMap, quality might vary by country and even city.
If you're looking for more commercial app, HERE WeGo / Here Maps has traffic and online accounts.
I just installed Miniflux on my server as well.
Advantages (in my opinion) are: Package is in Debian repos (safe and no compilation needed), software is a static binary (thus does not require docker and only needs postgreSQL), documentation is good.
This tool looks fantastic, thank you!
And Snikket for super-easy setup and management
Synapse has seemingly improved since 2020. A word of warning though: if you join large rooms from your server, Synapse will eventually grow the DB to a huge size due to a "lookup" table state_groups_state, and will require manual cleanup.

Ukraine had a "Kyiv not Kiev" campaign, which is more or less a request to do exactly what the post is asking about, call a place by how it sounds in its native language. But I am fairly certain it is still Kiev, Kiyev, and a variation of that in many other places, and the country is still called Ukraine in English, and not Ukraïna.
