Been posting to "Europe" since forever. Still only a fraction of users compared to that other site. About 3000 monthly I believe. Driving engagement is harder than it seems.

OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

I'm contributing to openstreetmap because I think there should be a free alternative to Google or Apple maps.

Am I running the risk of having my contributions stolen?

“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.” ― Josh Bazell, Wild Thing

If the workers of Spotify had been unionized then the CEO Daniel Ek wouldn't have been able to fire 1500 people by sending them an email.

Anything we can do as "users" to help, other than donating?

So, basically brexit then.

Thanks. I'll continue my small contributions then.

If anyone want to help I can recommend StreetComplete. It's a bit like pokemon go, but you'll help improve the map of the world instead. Only in android now I think.

14. Forcing me to buy a new TV because my current one is suddenly an "unsupported device".
15. Not allowing me to watch Netflix in my summer house because they're "cracking down on sharing accounts".

Whomever named them NFTs instead of grift cards missed an opportunity.

I'm using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.

Does that count?

PSA that i2p exists and supports anonymous Torrents.

Have a look at !i2p@lemmy.world

Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.

There's an i2p community here on lemmy. Click my username for a link.

Not all, right? Just the religious ones I hope.

Already happened. A real photo won in an ai art contest.

Been there, done that. 0/10. Do not recommend.

Take StreetComplete with you when you're out and do pokemon-style quests while at the same time improve the map of the area you're in.
It's very fun and quite addictive, and the data you're providing is open source so it's not free labour for some huge company.

I wonder how Masterson feels now when he looks at his young daughter and knows that there are people like him in the world.

What he did to those girls, someone could do to his. I hope he spends all his time in jail thinking about that.

I also hope that nothing bad ever happens to her, just for clarity.

Is there any waze alternative based on openstreetmap?

Clear and concise. Thanks.

Polestar? ID3-5? There are options.

Agreed. I mean COBOL is still a thing, and that's a language that's been dead for 30+ years.

Thanks for the answer. So, not wealthy at all then. Good to know.

Fun fact, whenever my blood gets used to help someone, I get a text message telling me, and a thanks. Enormously satisfying.

I have a mastodon account, but using it feels like shouting into the void so I don't post much.

Define "safely". Births are risky at the best of times.

Pretty much the same for me. Treat me like an adult and I will behave like one. Treat me like an asshole... guess what.

Most people have shit dads? Really?

I have doubts, but I'm sorry you feel that way.

It is where I'm at. Draw Lisa Simpson nude and you get a visit from the law. Dunno what the punishment is though. A fine? Jail? Can't say.

Edit: Apparently I was wrong, it has to be a realistic drawing. See here: 2010/0064/COD doc.nr 10335/1/10 REV 1

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

It's been attributed to both Sinclair Lewis and Upton Sinclair, but it's real origin is unclear.

Jeri Ryan is on mastodon. I'm ok with that too.

The US caused radical Islam?

Compiled my own kernel way back when and decided that network support wasn't really needed, on a computer locked away in a room to which I didn't have access, late one evening with nobody else around to unlock it.

Also deleting the whole /boot folder to see if I could fix it.

A gentle reminder that you can also do anonymous torrenting in i2p.

Geti2p.net I believe is the site to visit.

That's... not great.

Still, zlatinb doesn't seem to be involved anymore, and the software is still interesting.

Not saying that you shouldn't pay people, but the CEO of netflix makes over $50M a year. Actors make how much? I'm sure there are a lot of ways to cut costs and make a more equal society to boot.

Chicken or egg problem isn't it. Most of these issues wouldn't exist if more people used it I feel.

I don't disagree that smart TVs are trash, but this wasn't the TV not keeping up, this was netflix deciding that I couldn't use it anymore.

I give them money, why are they making it hard for me to use their product.

Yep. Very much. Translated to English it says "Netflix is no longer supported on this device. Visit netflix.com/compatibledevices for a list of supported devices".

This is when hitting the netflix button on the tv remote. Worked until a few days ago.
