I've heard that today is the last work day at the National Endowment for the Humanities for over 100 people that the regime terminated while gutting the agency.

From the moment I entered grad school in 1995, the NEH was part of the professional air I breathed. Not just the funding, but also the guidance, the examples, the methods, the connections, the collaborations, the rejections, the reviewers' comments, the role models, the projects I have worked on every day. These folks knit us together. 💔

So... I've noticed some of you are creating (and uploading!) a LOT of annotations in https://liiive.now—enough to make the UI a little choppy.

Well, challenge accepted: I just shipped an update that will keep things smooth, so you can keep the annotations coming! Bonus additions:
• New shape style with better contrast on light/dark images
• Polygon editing now lets you add & remove corners easily

Happy annotating!

A quick hack to show how to insert a #IIIf-Viewer in a #quarto html-doc:

Many companies have been editing OSM, including giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon. Corporate contributors can map on a global scale and add large amounts of data in a short time.

This new study explores the impact of corporate mapping and highlights the need for transparency:
