censored for “transphobia”

@viduno @amapanda Sounds like a job for an IPFS sort of network. Imagine if tiles were fetched from many peers in a bittorrent like way.

@koherecoWatchdog @viduno that can't really work. Tiles need to be rendered and generated "live"

@amapanda @viduno wouldn't it make more sense to send the tiles as vector graphics and let the client side do the rendering? Or are the tiles so small that the raster image is smaller than the vector data?

@koherecoWatchdog @viduno oh man. Vector Tiles! We've been talking about that for years. 😅😅😅 Some palaces do vector tiles, and you still need to generate them, but not exactly as often. And raster tiles are still used a lot, including here

@koherecoWatchdog @amapanda apps like OsmAnd seem to render on their own but it's *lots* of work to implement (they have C++ core and it's still not very fast sometimes).
