> 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! 😍

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?

#morsetodon now shows live toots from my homeserver, chaos.social! 🎉 (Or any other Mastodon server, if you add "#your.server" to the URL and refresh.)

On the desktop, you can scroll up/down, and pause with "space", and I added a cheat sheet.

This format is a pretty motivating learning environment for me – once I'm invested in reading a toot, *I wanna know how it ends*! #amateurradio

How did our ink integration work in A Highland Song?

Ink was originally designed as a choice-based interactive fiction engine (for games such as Sorcery and 80 Days), so how can it be used to make a more visual game?

Internet Archive suffered a major power outage over the weekend and we are still recovering; if the site seems a little janky and slow, that's why.

moscow spent an estimated $200-250 million on the terrible missile attack on #Ukraine today, according to Forbes.ua. Where does the #money come from? Yes, energy and other exports, but also — taxes the multinationals operating in #Russia pay. Unless foreign firms #exitRussia, they are involved in such attacks.
