And Speaker Vance, cool dude.

It’s from Bing and Esri. It’s not copying anything, as aerial imagery is a different thing than a map. Also Bing and Esri imagery is specifically allowed to be used for OpenStreetMap purposes, likely because companies benefit from OSM data.

It can be making maps from scratch. There are a lot of places where the map has no features, mostly rural areas.

You use aerial imagery and trace the buildings, roads, and other features using points on a grid.

I only like raw asparagus. If it is cooked, it tastes nasty as hell

Holy shit

Damnnn that is one interpretation of drunk driving. "officer, you don’t understand, drunk driving putting everyones life and freedom at risk is what makes us human

And also I know a lot about breaking video DRM

Teach me :P

I simply started mapping single family homes. It’s really hard to map those wrong, as its just an outline with building=house. This is the video that got me started. Have fun and don’t forget to square your corners.

My favorite font foundry is https://indestructibletype.com/. Beautiful typefaces, open source, and many different weights. The designer also has some good sex ed videos on his YouTube channel.

artificial lighting technology

Have you seen the technology connections videos on lighting? The one about the Balafire is interesting, and he also recently discovered some excellent Christmas lights.

Haha, yep. You can uninstall the other languages if you want though.

What are you doing with your time this week then? 😬

This week I mapped one small town in full (took only 2 days lol). I also mapped various cemetery roads and did a few other assorted things. I also had a couple days off since OSM was down.

Ayy fellow font enjoyer! I have like 50 GB of fonts, I’m a bit crazy. Honestly, Noto Sans is the greatest font out there. Looks good everywhere

Contributing via StreetComplete is contributing directly to OSM, so good work. But like Interstellar said, you can just log in to openstreetmap.org, zoom in to what you want to edit, and click Edit.

I would call myself a nihlist in a good way. Because life is meaningless, we are free to create our own meaning if we want to.

my high school had a string of vandalism where some kid was pulling all of the water fountains out of the walls

Anyone remember that “devious licks” trend?

major cities

Yeah, I don’t live near one of those. I’d probably raise my carbon footprint more by driving an hour than I would buying a different milk.
