 Show Me The Way is great, but it's mostly good for showing geometry changes. I wonder if there's anyway to show some of the deeper #OpenStreetMap data? Rather than “Here's a building being drawn” how about “$PERSON added the opening hours to this shop” etc… Need something light and fun? Here's @freyfogle on the @geomob podcast about all the weirdness in the world, and their social media posts about it.  How do I go about deleting wikidata items about me? Remember that OpenStreetMap group possibly hit by a large slack bill? They've decided it's too much (~$10k) and will switch to the free teir. 10 years of OSM chat history are going away. 😢 https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1706287495771329 For those behind the login wall, or looking at this after 28th April 2024, this is the message: @amapanda FWIW, I believe that Slack still stores all the logs (but not uploaded files) for free plans and they can be exported by admins. But honestly I think it's better if realtime chat is mostly-ephemeral. Nobody wants to read their kneejerk comments from 10 years ago. But it still sucks if people were assuming they could rely on them.  Anyone going to State of the Map Europe, remember to download the maps for Antwerp. 😁  oh wow, someone wrote a guide on how to map North Korea in #OpenStreetMap There's currently a wave of bots trying to vandalize #OpenStreetMap by replacing names (and russian langauge names) with anti-russian slogans. The #OSM DWG has blocked 5,000+ accounts already 😢 This is not the way people! e.g. <https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/how-about-limit-new-accounts/101656/49>

 @amapanda dropping rockets on farms, towns and cities is neither the way, so i guess this balances somehow.  @amapanda restriction on automated account creation using captcha might at least slow the problem getting worse. But I don't see that being brought up in the discussions.  @amapanda Maybe this will start the powers that be thinking about drive-by SEO spam, too, since this just a more harmful form of the same thing. So @bdon has put all the #Overture map data onto a map for us! 👏 🗺 map : <https://bdon.github.io/overture-tiles/places.html> Do you often import data into #OpenStreetMap? You may be interested in this proposal to change the rules about where you have to make announcements (from email list to web forum). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Imports_Mailing_List_Migration “The Birdcage is lonely” - @openstreetmap engagement on Mastodon/Fediverse is streets ahead of Twitter. After several months, it's clear. #OpenStreetMap is getting much more engagement on Mastodon/Fediverse compared to Twitter. more details: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/%E1%9A%9B%E1%9A%90%E1%9A%8B%E1%9A%90%E1%9A%85%E1%9A%87%E1%9A%90%E1%9A%9C%20%F0%9F%8F%B3%EF%B8%8F%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%8C%88/diary/401876 I've been paying attention to engagment of posts on Twitter & Mastodon for OpenStreetMap, and you can see how Fedi gets way more engagement than Twitter. And that's even with 1/10th the follows on fedi. Welcome to the #Fediverse new mappers! Did you know that the official #OpenStreetMap twitter account is automatically mirrored to the fediverse: @openstreetmap https://en.osm.town/web/@openstreetmap Today is the last day to choose whether you want to run for the #OpenStreetMap Foundation Board. 🙂👍🏻🗳️🙋 Security TayTay says “Map on #OpenStreetMap” RT @SwiftOnSecurity@twitter.com ProTip: If delivery people are always having problems getting to your place you might need to do some scouting on OpenStreetMap, which is the dataset that powers a lot of routing software. A street was incorrectly marked one-way near me and I fixed it now people don't get lost 💁♀️ 🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/1565053168186179590 #OpenStreetMap has one tile rendering server for all of USA, and that server can no longer keep up with peak US traffic. If you, or your company,are interested in hosting a rendering node in the US (or elsewhere), please contact us.

 @amapanda possibly. What do you need? A virt? Physical host? Are you able to maintain it and you just need a place and net connection to put it? What’s your need? |
Gregory's Server
yeah, cause of course i need a new project…
@amapanda , for tag changes you could show a popup (tool tip like or so), and leave it up for a couple of secs it takes to animate the geometry (it is likely to be quite irritating for changes made with mapcomplete et al though)..
