> For a vibrant consumer navigational ecosystem to emerge, society needs to invest in OpenStreetMap as a public good. … City planners should dedicate staffers to updating their roads and bridges on OpenStreetMap. Communities should submit updates with roads and hazards in their local areas

We quite agree! 😍

Every single story about #Trump "doing well" or "getting a victory" (because a judge he appointed dismissed a case, for example) is intended to dissuade you from voting.

Ask yourself this question: "Does this story about Trump or Biden make me feel hopeless because it seems obvious Trump is going to win?"

Oh, it does? Who benefits from your hopelessness?

People really tell themselves they would have joined the Resistance in WWII and they... couldn't even stop using a lousy website

Ļoti detalizēti aprakstīts viss, ko zinām, nojaušam, vai tikai iztēlojamies un minam par dzīvi Pompejos. Autore tēmai pievērsusies ļoti pamatīgi un nesaudzīgi arī norāda uz trūkumiem, vai pārāk lielu vēlmju domāšanu, interpretējot arheoloģiskos atradumus. Bet vispār noguru no faktu pārbagātības un katra grafiti, zīmējuma vai telpas aprakstīšanas. No otras puses - fantastiski labs ieskats, ja ir vēlme par Pompejiem uzzināt visu, kas bija zināms līdz grāmatas uzrakstīšanai.

Pssst: influencers struggle with Mastodon because it's harder to influence people here. It's not because this place isn't neat.

Hey for no particular reason let’s all read up on this, kay?
