‘Pokémon Go’ players unknowingly trained delivery robots with 30 billion images
In other words, all that time users spent wandering around playing #Pokémon Go will now help determine how well courier #robots can deliver your take out.
It’s a stark example of how #crowdsourced #data, seemingly collected for one purpose, can be quietly repurposed years later for something quite different.

Thanks to Sufyan bin Uzayr for enlarging and updating the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD) list of #advocacy organizations for #OpenAccess.
Like all OAD lists, this one is #crowdsourced. Here's how to help make any of the OAD lists more comprehensive and up to date.

I created the first release of the Digital Literacy #crowdsourced book, with the first two parts complete. #GitHub releases will also be archived on #Zenodo and assigned a DOI. Please feel free to comment or contribute.
The chapter outline is ready for the #crowdsourced book on Digital Literacy. Please feel free to contribute or comment.

Worked a little bit more on my #crowdsourced book-writing project website. It looks cleaner and more informative. I also designed the #logo using #Inkscape, the old-fashioned way. It reminded me of my #PhD days when I generated all my thesis figures using Inkscape.
Open Handbook Commons
Open Practical Knowledge for Everyone
For my Open Handbook Commons #crowdsourced book writing project. I now have a public Matrix space that people can join.

Would anyone like to #volunteer to #design a #logo for my #crowdsourced writing project?
It's called the Open Handbook Commons. Here is a synopsis.
Would you guys be interested in contributing to a #crowdsourced #writing project? I have just started, and it is still at the conceptual stage.

Check out the GitHub below for the synopsis.
With regard the foregoing #toot, I append this #PSA.
Every morning I read the "links" over at #NakedCapitalism, which I consider to be the most important source of news on the web. It's a #CrowdSourced project. Readers send in the important links they've encountered and Naked Capitalism posts them with commentary.
There are a lot of X links in there, but Naked Capitalism isn't an X participant. They do the dirty work so you don't have to be on there. So, here's what I ask:
1. Support Naked Capitalism. You can find them here: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com
2. Then, use Naked Capitalism to help build out the #fediverse by #ripping X content and freeing it to #mastodon unattributed. My preferred tool is here: https://twittervideodownloader.com/en/
3. Finally, and this is important, do a little happy dance knowing your one of the many who are helping the world become a better place by sticking your foot squarely up the ass of #ElonMusk 🥳
How One Guy #Crowdsourced More Than 500 #Dashcams for #Minneapolis to Film #ICE
When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis.
