Go Map!! is the one on iOS that I know of; seems like Vespucci on Android. I haven’t ever used it not having used iOS, so I can’t speak to it, but it seems to have a lot going for it.

Wheelbender my beloved

Absolutely, and I forgot to mention that in the US, we do keep up with Flock. In my experience, mappers have been surprisingly prompt with it too, which makes me really happy.

Unequivocally, yes, very helpful. The strength of projects like OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia comes from their numbers– from parallelism.

Think of it like a race against the physical infrastructure: looking at the specific things you contribute, you are vastly outpacing the infrastructure. If you notice a speed limit has changed and correct it, that’s probably set for an extremely long time relative to the age of the project. You’ve fixed in 30 seconds what will remain for perhaps a decade. Once you’re maintaining the infrastructure and not just building it out, the race is won on breadth of effort, being able to quickly respond to small issues. Small issues only consistently get noticed if there are a lot of people on the look-out. You’re one of those people.

Just keep in mind this was just a bunch of random ideas, so it’s all very surface-level and not at all a guide. None of these actually fully tell you how to do the thing, so being confused is 100% normal.

Burnouts aren’t negligent and wear-causing? Do I need to stand behind one long enough before I can understand this logic?

I don’t think it’s corporate dick-sucking to say that if you use an e-scooter share, it’s not dystopian that the company administering them tries to track if you’re using them in a negligent way that causes unnecessary wear. It’s not yours.

The fact these corporations are running this kind of thing is itself problematic, but I also wouldn’t object if a government-administrated e-scooter share tried to detect poor behavior on a piece of equipment you don’t own.

Well the banner of this comm is too, so it’s not out of place.

France’s health minister, Stéphanie Rist, said on Tuesday that while it wasn’t currently clear whether the hantavirus strain involved in the outbreak may have mutated, officials were “rather reassured”.

Rist told the National Assembly: “There are things … we do not know about this virus. We do not yet have the complete sequencing of the virus, which allows us to say with certainty today, even if we are rather reassured to date … that this virus has not yet mutated.”

It’s quite literally a joke about the Antarctica trip. There was one who changed their mind and was heavily ostracized for it.

“We should take Munich, and push it somewhere else!”

Firefox has begun the AI enshitification process

Dude, it’s like five things – one of which is just translations that can be performed locally, and another of which is an alt text accessibility option – with an obvious universal kill switch (and of course individualized ones). Calm your tits. Chill your balls. I don’t use LLMs at all except for translations, and I still think the whinging over this is completely overblown.

“Begun” implies a slippery slope of much more, and that just doesn’t seem to be the case.

The fact she was on the ship is by its self a reason to test for it

Did you even read the full quote? By the time her tests were back in 24 hours, she probably would’ve been on death’s door had she still been on the ship. They clearly got her hospital care as soon as they landed, and I seriously doubt they were sending her home.

I’m sorry, but the fact you’re calling it “Hanta Virus” tells me I should trust the doctors/epidemiologists and Spain’s health minister more than I trust some rando on the Internet spitballing “well they should’ve just done [thing]!!” Her condition began deteriorating literally on the evacuation plane, and she seemingly got care basically as soon as possible.

I’m anxious you decided to take the out-of-context headline of an article you didn’t read and run with it:

“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

[Padilla] said the woman, who had been travelling on the ship at the centre of a deadly hantavirus outbreak, had been suffering flu-like symptoms but they appeared to be getting better and she did not have a fever.

He said that the woman’s condition had deteriorated between the ship and the plane. “It is not that the patient was feeling bad and she was saying: ‘OK, I’m not going to say anything because I want to be on the plane.’ It was like: ‘OK, we have measured your temperature, it was not fever, afterwards you have been on the plane, it has taken off, you have started feeling bad, we have measured your temperature and it was fever.’”

Padilla said passengers could not have been tested onboard the vessel because there were no rapid PCR tests for hantavirus available. Any testing would have involved flying samples to Madrid to a specialist lab, a process that would have taken 24 hours. Those delays would have made it impossible to rescue those on board due to a forecast of extremely high winds from Monday evening, which were due to be “hell” on Tuesday, he said.

If you’d actually read the article instead of jumping straight from the headline to the funny quip you thought of:

Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

This doesn’t sound like a discrimination thing; she literally described a cough that went away days ago and an anxiety she was feeling.

? He’s dressed as a yellow supercar. What do you mean?

How is the headline ragebait? Ragebait is the cynical production of content to increase clicks and engagement. The author clearly actually is that passionate about FOSS self-hosting over paid gatekeepers like Plex, and the tone of the article is adequately reflected in the headline.

An opinion author stating a strong opinion in the headline isn’t automatically “ragebait” just because you personally aren’t as passionate. And I say that as someone who isn’t as passionate as the author.

Here’s the study in Minerals. I’ll caution that it’s an MDPI journal, but it’s better than Earth.com’s content mill dogshit.

I’ve licensed some stuff under CC0 in the past since it makes it no-friction for individuals, but “embrace, extend, extinguish” is beyond trivialized with licenses like CC0. Licenses like the GPLv3 and CC BY-SA at least maintain some responsibility that corporate actors legally need to meet; they are, to me, better in cases of individuals publishing works, and I see licenses like MIT as basically scabbing the FOSS ecosystem in favor of letting corporations do whatever they want. (I moreso agree with public domain for things like government works.)

We’re living in the Porky’s butthole timeline and we’re idealizing circa Gen X conservatives like this?
