@thibaultmol @drdelle @fabiux @organicmaps @forgejo @Codeberg Contributors in sanctioned regions is concerning, though. Would be great to do a transparent post-mortem.

WHEN DID TOP GET THE MEMORY BARS

Seriously, I only discovered this by mis-hitting shift-m. And there are two visual styles, too.

It's a tiny but positive feeling when I just make a quick guess at how some CLI tool might function (without checking docs first) and it just does that.

Like "find ./ -size 0", and it just does that.

@Mastodon Really great news - does this cover trademarks etc?

This downspout in Helsinki is a work of art.

@nemobis But "worse" in that context was _less_ data, not "more crappy data". That is an extremely important difference.

@nemobis @zverik @hareldan
That seems to support "OSM is not a data dumping ground" position, right?

@zverik @hareldan
That reminds me about the arguments against bad mass imports in OSM - "OSM is not a data dumping ground".

It does make the dataset seem impressive at first, but then ends up being bad, unmaintainable or both.

@nullagent @jberg @NeonPurpleStar @elCelio “russia” and “invited” seems like either extreme naivety or whitewashing.
And no, being «invited» by some murderous authocrat is shit for an excuse.

It's heartwarming to know that somebody went to great lengths to achieve this.

@rysiek @midgephoto Oh, I recognise that account - a ru troll, all the questions were in bad faith.

There's an interesting study on allowing cyclists to cross at red light.

"A new French study confirms that conditionally allowing cyclists to cross red lights improves the fluidity of cycling traffic without compromising road safety."

Talking about jokes that involve Latvians, this might be the best one.

It also demonstrates a data visualisation mistake for an added bonus.

But... Ukraine is Europe.

Who is "the west"?

Still this so much.

Ping @lastguru :)

Got asked today about navigating someplace with Google Maps.

First image - OpenStreetMap.
Second - GMaps of the same region.

First, there's a massive difference in the amount of available information.
Second is one housename... in two different locations.

Thank you to all the OSM contributors for creating such a wonderful, worldwide map.
