@pietervdvn @protomaps Nice! Probably more sensible than the 1000 peice beast I went for, although you've done a rendering (or zoom level) without street labels which must've made it harder!

@federico3 I must object that your description is wrong: this is reimplementing Python using cat.

@federico3 lonnnnnnnnng boi

@alan @OpenInfraMap Wow, never seen this before! If it had raster tiles they could be included as a map layer on OSM.org

@alan @OpenInfraMap Wow, that's cool! Just learned that apparently there is a 110kV line just 10m from my couch. 😅

@alan @OpenInfraMap Also, if you switch on the "Telecoms" layer in the layer selector (in the toolbar on the right, last icon) you can see some submarine cables and many telecoms towers. Looks like this kind of equipment is very under-mapped as well, though.

@zverik @everydoor the video was hilarious! 😂

@zverik @everydoor I would love to take part in such a duel, but please without being stackenblochened by those dudes!

@ianrosewrites the greatest lie the fossil fuel companies ever convinced us of was that our personal carbon footprints are responsible for the climate crisis. “It’s not us, it’s you!”

@ianrosewrites we all have to live in the world we are born into. The goal is to make it a better world for the next generation to be born into.

@ianrosewrites WE, the Many Individuals, BUY the products produced by those pollution emitters. All of us are involved in this consumption of resources that have resulted in environmental degradation and the LIARS are the DENIERS!

@zverik Interesting. Seems like a good idea to encourage people to always explain themselves, but it might be better to change the website to simply disallow re-opening notes without a comment.

@zverik Thank you for Every Door! 🤗 I use it a lot for myself and to help people starting their osm-editing adventure.

@zverik for what it’s worth (N=1) I think that you do all-around great work in the OSM sphere. I love what you made possible with @everydoor and think that you made the best talk about mapping ever; the one in the woods with mosquitos. Thanks for doing what you do.

@zverik @everydoor We are NLnet Labs, who develop #OpenSource software for core Internet infrastructure, such as #DNS and #BGP. The NLnet Foundation, who fund projects, uses the @NGIZero account.

It's a bit hard to track indeed — like when I started listing all my conference talks, I got over 100 entries, all with different topics. When I tried listing my software for an about page, I barely fit the most prominent things in a screen and had to remove much.

So in this thread, I'll try mentioning geo-adjacent things I did in the past 13 years. One thing daily. As a self-recognition practice. That's gotta get me through a couple months at least.

@zverik @NGIZero

Getting employed to "do what just happens to cross my mind" is quite rare, typically you need to have a Noble prize or similar associated with your career to get that kind of position.

Just because there is some marginal usefulness of what you just thought up for society, doesn't mean that society is obliged to pay you for it.

If your product has actual value, then there is always the time honoured avenue of selling it, just like every baker, farmer, artist etc. has to do .

@zverik maybe @robinlovelace with

@zverik 😂😂😂 head emakeelepäeva?

@zverik @openstreetmap some nice points.

I've always thought that if OSM is a database it's really 400k (or however many contributors there are) little databases all merged (munged ?) together. Each one with subtly different rules, semantics etc. Normalisation, of course, doesn't work because, other than a bit if context from editors, the actual rules reside in the heads of users.
