@zverik maybe @bart knows?

@ian

I wonder if it's possible to use MapCSS to style it (which is better suited for OSM data model).

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapCSS

@ian @watmildon

Also it looks like point queries don't display anything (e.g. highway=bus_stop).

@baldur
Compelling.

This side branch deserves its own writeup:

“Some are reaching for LLM-generated code before they even look for an OSS project, both disconnecting those projects from opportunities to grow a sustainable community and nullifying the strategic advantage of having made an OSS solution for a problem. Note that the models are originally trained on that OSS.”

@baldur @glyph Not sure about the point about laid-off/unemployed engineers not coding. I have spent periods of funemployment between contracts/jobs on side projects (a few apps/frameworks, some playing around with various technologies/languages and such). Looking at the fediverse, I don’t seem to be alone in this. Perhaps better social security such as a UBI would lead to more open source contributions.

@baldur I would argue the industry didn't overspend, but overbuilt on FOSS. FOSS was free, is free and that encourages usage. But as all infrastructure, even free one, there is a maintenance price tag and the people with the bills are starting to knock on the door.

As a result: panic.

Not to mention that governments start to pick up on the transparency FOSS provides for regulations.

Wonderful progress explained in a single image. :)

@marcelcosta Ni fava com es calcula, hi ha biaix mastodòntic i és quantitatiu, però si més no, com a dibu és interessant. Quina remuntada, tu!

@thenexusofprivacy Are quote posts still coming?

I asked just now over here:

@xkcd @hinobara sin problema puedo ser el del tercer tipo.

@Talia long but interesting read, thanks 🙌

@Talia And I bet this holds true for the art of programming as well...

@Talia I would have assumed the opposite anyway. “Using AI to do our creative work” kind of says it all. If you are relying on something else to do your creative work, naturally you are going to be less creative as a result. That just seems logical to me.

@zverik I think there have been discussions over the years about going to something more like https://www.openstreetmap.fr/

I think the problem with that is that many mappers go to osm.org specifically to see their changes get rendered and making the map smaller is less satisfying when you do that.

@zverik I've been saying that for years as well. I think https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/ would be a good place to start from. It wouldn't even need to be integrated in the current website, just move that to osm.org/map
Though a design that integrates both map & non map features like the Czech did https://openstreetmap.cz would be cool (and perhaps easier to stomach for some folks)

@zverik I 100% agree, how can we accomplish that? Who do we need to convince?

@zverik If you want a place to start: when viewing a changeset (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/100000000 ) it's a perfect opportunity to link to various other websites that offer much more useful diff viewing. I somehow knew about OSMCha, but just discovered achavi https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=100000000 a few minutes ago pretty randomly. Adding links to these external viewers in osm.org would eliminate the frustration of having to seek out a proper diff for a newbie.

@grimalkina @analog_ashley
thank you.

@grimalkina @analog_ashley Yus!! That's a big subscribe from me!

@grimalkina @analog_ashley I listened and it was great. Will share such an accessible format with people in teams who might benefit from topics discussed.

@overholt

I quite liked

No. 1½ Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate

in York. Would love for the fractional number to be a standard part of address validation 🤪

@overholt
"Sounds Legit!"

@overholt that's glorious.

I used to live on Ship Street. The amount of times I was hung up on, by taxis or Chinese takeaways in my own town, who thought it was a prank and I said I lived up Shit Street.

@hisham_hm damn right you are.

@hisham_hm you forgot "antisemitic nazi propaganda is the default again"

@CathyTuttle @maxdubler
Sumtin's a might askew...

@CathyTuttle @maxdubler @DemonHusky but most that pack those community meetings are old white people who are retired and have nothing better to do.

@fionag11 Interesting, but I am a bit sceptical that any real accuracy is possible in making forecasts for such a complex system. Does this, for example, take into account the Atlantic conveyor and its potential collapse?

@fionag11 That is a clever way to illustrate the magnitude of the climate changes barrelling down at us.

I tried it for cities in Aotearoa-New Zealand, where I live, and by 2080 all South Island cities will have temperatures like the current climates of North Island cities, Wellington will have temperatures like current Auckland. Northern NZ cities, like Auckland, will have temperatures like Sydney, Australia.

Those are massive shifts for any native species that likes it where they are now.

@fionag11 while the results are significant, I still worry they are not shocking enough.

In particular, this doesn’t warn about the likelihood of frequent extreme weather events, which will probably be at least as impactful as the changes in baseline climates in any particular location.

@xssfox in Germany there are streets where postcodes differ on the same street.

@xssfox you should put this on your blog and also shout it from the rooftops

@xssfox
Also, too many web forms ask for 'city'. I know every two-bit settlement in the US likes to call itself a city but in the real world cities are large. They have population in thousands if not millions. Outside of cities millions of us live in towns, villages, hamlets or just in the country. Stop demanding to know my 'city'.
