We recently finished mapping the buildings in Co. Down, and I didn't even have to write the whole report myself: https://www.openstreetmap.ie/county-down-task-96-mapping-complete/ A massive increase in numbers, and take note of all the windmills!
#OpenStreetMap #OpenData
Version 63 was just released with a ton of improvements, check it out!

Another film, another unattributed use of #OpenStreetMap. This is the fourth movie I’ve seen this year commit this sin and the latest culprit is this Netflix Christmas romcom titled Champagne Problems.

Their travesty is now immortalized on the OSM Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Films

Adding some @beacondb coverage whilst on holiday 🇮🇩
The website “Keep Android Open” is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans sideloading apps. The goal is to pressure Google to reverse or modify this policy to protect the open nature of the Android platform and the ability to sideload or use 3rd party app stores without excessive restrictions https://keepandroidopen.org
Keep Android Open

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

Plasma 6.5 is out! Look forward to cool interface re-designs (rounded corners! Automatic smooth light-to-dark transitions!), features (smart KRunner searches! Pinned clipboard items!) and tons of usability and accessibility improvements:

It's fun that you can also add waterways to @beacondb

No way Google's Street View cars can get there.

With detours and taking a wrong turn the entire trip was 17,71 km and took us nearly 3,5 hours by kayak. beaconDB wasn't the main point of the trip, but it was fun to feel like we were contributing to something.

Yes. Yes we're exhausted. The muscle pain will set in tomorrow.

Reddit’s UK age verification rollout has been an absolute nightmare for users’ online privacy, safety, and expression. We cannot allow this to be the new global norm.

Americans, Be Warned: Lessons From Reddit’s Chaotic UK Age Verification Rollout

Now that the Online Safety Act has gone into effect, countless problems have begun to reveal themselves, and the absurd, disastrous outcome illustrates why we must work to avoid this age-verified future at all costs.
