This is a browser feature called 'service workers' which indeed allows websites to keep a process running for e.g. notifications.and pending updates.

Can be highly annoying. Visit ‘about:serviceworkers‘ to see the installed ones.

Also, you answered the question backwards, but I don't mind XD

Well, I'm doing my best to get the !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml community started. Once there is enough activity here, the critical mass becomes self-reinforcing and it takes off.

And it's not as if all of Reddit will switch over right away - Twitter is still somewhat alive too; but Mastodon gained enough momentum now to actually matter and to be at a sustainable level.

Ooohh!! Please, post a bit in the lemmy community as well.

In Chiba city, it is described as "The sky above the port"

You forgot "Use AI"

Putt-putt, pajama sam a.d freddy fish are great!

Hi! Wrong sub? No worries, our subredditcommunity (!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml) is right here as well!

Did you also know that Apple Maps and Bing Maps use OSM data too in some areas, for some types of categories? Bing even has cloned an OSM-editing program.

Furthermore, you can use https://mapcomplete.osm.be to add shops or other POI. (Obligatory shill as I'm the main dev of that one ;) )

Yeah, and Wikipedia, linux,... have become important as well, without big corpo

There is a (somewhat) active community here too: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Hijacking the thread:

You are all welcome on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml to discuss anyting OpenStreetMap-related

Also have a look to https://mapcomplete.osm.be - this one works on mobile and desktop and has many thematic maps (e.g. one for shops, one for cycling stuff, one for toilets) and you can improve the data there as well + add images.

This article is about global electricity production, not all energy combined. This is an important nuance, as much energy consumption uses fossil fuels directly, namely cars, many (older) house or industrial processes. Only a small fraction of this is electricity, and in the grander scheme, the "renewable" part is only a fraction: https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-consumption.

So, while this is a step in the good direction, it is only a very small one.

@BlackLaZoR@BlackLaZoR@kbin.run would you mind updating the title to reflect this?

Sorry, but HERE-maps does not use OSM data. They list their sources here: https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms/general-content-supplier-terms-and-notices

Also a great option, but closed source

Yes. I'm mostly developing a website, and testing on another browser is necessary every now and then. But that is my only use reason.

My main browser used to be firefox till tw9 weeks qgo, but it started to be buggy so it's LibreWolf now.

!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml - but that's also because I helped to get it going during the first reddit-waves ;)

There will never be 'more momentum' if you don't build it. Just kick it off and host this person, others will follow.

Also checkout !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

I used this one or a similar one a while back. Pure magic. It started downloading a ton of stuff, and half an hour later I was greated by a (slow) macOS, good enough to do some tests of my webapp on Safari.

You can also try the webapp https://mapcomplete.org

Google is supposed not to copy OSM...

Yes, it is a grant from NLNet: https://nlnet.nl/ - a small charity which basically redistributes EU-funds, but as they know the FLOSS-community very well, they can allocate money very efficiently.

I'm on such a grant too for my OpenStreetMap-editor

For maps: either OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one is a beast but needs to be tamed, the latter one is more user friendly. They are both based on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Additionally, you can use https://mapcomplete.org to improve the maps (or the online editor in openstreetmap.org)

Ah, I was talking about desktop. Afaik this is not yet on mobile.

I'm using Fennec BTW

Look for a local hackerspace, they might have the right connections. Most of them have regular (often weekly) 'social nights' where you can hang out.

Https://Mapcomplete.osm.be/hackerspaces has an (incomplete) listing

I use maps for navigation (mostly OsmAnd) and improve OpenStreetMap with my self-made website (https://mapcomplete.org)

Cool! I love the concept of Mobilizon, but the user experience has bitten me quite often. Gancio looks really nice!

FF local translations is already there in the stable releases. Just update!

No. Both package the same OSM-data, but they use a different binary format.

Yeah, but there is no button to remove all of them at once. And the next time you'll visit the site, they'll just get installed again - so I don't think it is very useful to delete them.

Thx, didn't know those got to go there. I've made a post.
