Is reddit owned and operated by a malicious entity? I used to be addicted to that platform, but now I can't stand it.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open-source (open data) project. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping platform that allows users from around the world to contribute, edit, and use geographical data. The data and software behind OSM are open-source, which means they are freely available for anyone to view, use, modify, and distribute under open licenses.

The data contributed to OpenStreetMap islicensed under the Open Database License (ODbL). This license allows for the free use of the data as long as proper attribution is given and any derivative works are also made available under the same open license.

I got addicted to using and contributing on OSM daily and enjoy spending my time improving the map. In fact a lot of closed source maps such as Google Maps and Apple Maps pull from some of the OSM data, so everyone gets to benefit from contributions.

In case you're looking into this out of curiosity, check out the Beginner's Guide and try to verify that the data around your neighborhood is correct and maybe add a point of interest (PoI) or a street name or two. Beware, it gets addictive quite fast.

OSM is also used for humanitarian use thanks to the HOT tasking platform. For example the majority of relief effort in Turkey's February earthquake, Sri Lanka flooding, and the recent Marocco earthquake. Mapping can literally help save lives. It's fun and easy too!

Sure they don't. Just be aware that if you're using public trackers you can appear here, as some of the peers track the IPs that appear in the swarms:

I'm using GrapheneOS for added security and sandboxing, but I feel that this is a bandaid solution.

These two rules caused Usenet to be abandoned by people who were once passionate about being part of the community, and instead taken over by spammers and bots.

You're lucky to have her. I'm happy for you.

Few people are more qualified than someone who grew up with that name and the burden it carries, so I find it quite adequate.

This is such a useful post.
As a lemmy newbie, I see that there is a save functionality, but is there a way to tag posts like these so I can reference them in the future?

Can you confirm that you have 'Show Notifications for New Posts' enabled in your user settings?

Thanks for spreading the good word on OpenData mapping solutions! In case you find Osmand's interface confusing, check out Organic Maps as well. FOSS and offline features are naturally part of the offering.

Managing this for a large amount of services is a huge overhead for me. I use Sub-addressing and then apply filters based on categories.

The EU is assessing the state of deepfakes and is planning to create a legal framework to keep it under control through a "combination of measures will likely be necessary to limit the risks of deepfakes, while harnessing their potential."

Give OsmAnd a try. Organic Maps are also working on the integration, but its not yet there and fully refined, though it is my preferred map for navigation while driving.

Not sure which application you are using, but you can use the transport map layer of OSM and see all the bus stops. Every stop likely already has the tags for bus stop features.
As for Organic Maps, it's optimized for driving/directions and doesn't have the advanced features that more redines apps have. That said I love it and enjoy using it for directi9ns.

Thanks for the reply. I am new here, but here to stay. I want to share what I learn and help other folks as well.

Why not approach indirectly like complimenting her legs, whispering "I want you" in her ear. These often work for me, and even if it doesn't, it gets the mood between us so that we can foreplay and cuddle.

You can start light, just by verifying that the data is up to date or adding some information eg. wheelchairs facilities or payment methods accepted. I use a tool called Every Door (Android) and it makes this surveying really simple and quick.

This book is notable for me for making Buddhist philosophy and practices accessible to a western audience, fostering a deeper understanding of mindfulness, compassion, and the path to spiritual awakening. It has been an invaluable resource for my interests in Buddhism, meditation, and personal growth.

What would happen if one of the larger instances goes away? Can the content be archived and preserved through the federation?

To be quite honest the routing issue you're referring to is most likely related to invalid/outdated mapping data, as opposed to the routing algorithm the mapping engine uses to navigate.
The benefit of using OpenStreetMap data for routing is that if you spot a mistake or a route that is incorrectly mapped you can fix it yourself, or leave a note for mapping contributors to examine and resolve. You can also browse the mapping data history and see exactly who and when mapped this region and even contact them if you wish.
OSM supports much more mapping data via tagging, which translates to more accurate driving directions. To err is human, and OSM mappers make mistakes as well, but these can be easily fixed.

t-thanks

Honorable mention for Maproulette as well!

What specifically do you like about Winamp? I miss the whacky skins and even more so the Milkdrop 2 visualization system. There are some hacky ways to get it to work for Foobar or AIMP. I haven't checked what's the case for Linux media players though.
