[this is not intended as a political post; rather, an indication of why benchmarking spatial and indeed all data is useful - so that maybe people may better understand the scale of occupation based on spatial references they are more familiar with]

“[A] powerful new capability is coming to the GeoAI Python package: finding similar features in remote sensing imagery with DINOv3.
This feature leverages the DINOv3 pre-trained model to find similar features in remote sensing imagery with a single click…”

“HIGHLIGHTS:
• [They] evaluated the impacts of topographic correction on forest mapping in the mountains.
• The enhanced C-correction and the physical model reduced topographic effects.
• The corrected Landsat imagery time series resulted in higher accuracy.
• Terrain information improved classification but not as much as topographic correction.
• [They] recommend using topographic correction for forest cover mapping..."

“More like a village than a city, Mastodon has less cruelty and bad-faith debates than Twitter, in my experience Could it be a social media platform to trust?
IT HAS been nearly six months since Twitter’s transformation from iconic social media platform into the eccentric personal project of tech billionaire Elon Musk. [The author] abandoned [their] account last November, save for work announcements – [they] didn’t want to stick around and watch the place fall apart. Still, [they] craved a digital hangout where [they] could connect with friends and colleagues, test out [their] half-baked ideas and look at cute pictures of capybaras…”
