@seav Wow, all the feels from my childhood! Very cool!

@seav fun challenge : give the ability to zoom in the map and the tiles accordingly change, even if they are mixed.

@seav There's a @qgis easter-egg that turns the map panel into a shuffle game if you type 'bored' in the coordinate bar. It renders whatever is visible on the map into 15 pieces. So placing the OSM slippy map gets something similar, though tiling is generated based on map bounds, not the slippy map tiles.

yes, it's playable

Better caption:

A line chart showing that Organic Maps have picked up traction in mid 2021, and by first quarter of 2024 it gas surpassed Maps.me as Organic Maps shows increase and Maps.me is constantly decreasing.

@organicmaps thank you for posting! Huge fan here.

Is it an artifact of data collection that maps.me seems to drop to near zero then zero in its final two data points? Or did it really do that for some reason I don't know about? Next time, it might be worth clarifying that on the graph itself, eg. Omitting that part of the line

@organicmaps it would be amazing if it got as popular as Maps.me was at it's peak.

for me one of the best and most characteristic features is the CW labelling setup, which I like so much I wrote about (here : https://v21.io/blog/uses-of-cws) and now... they're making that ugly and unpleasant to use?

Looks like @buttplugio needs a new domain.

ONE QUIBBLE and this is not semantics: the "new owners" of the island are the indigenous people of those islands; many of them forcefully repatriated by the Brits.

they are not new, nor owners. they are the peoples for whom those islands are their ancestral homeland.

@mttaggart @mwl

@mttaggart the funniest possible result is browser vendors implement a work-around and put IANA in the same dustbin as the W3C

@everydoor "cvzi" reference seems to be broken?

@everydoor @tyr Can you tell me what is Geoscribble ?

@everydoor Wow, this is great, especially for plebs that don't know how to use Vespucci 😀 I'll be advertising this feature for sure.

@freakboy3742 @ThePSF that's fantastic congratulations

@freakboy3742 @ThePSF Congratulations to you and Malcolm for this amazing achievement!

@freakboy3742 @ThePSF Congratulations and thank you for pursuing your ambitious goal that will benefit the entire Python community 👏

@VeryBadLlama Sounds horrible.

@VeryBadLlama@mas.to People are just scary, I really don't know as an autistic person how to start a talking to people. Like I can't really go up to someone and be like "Do you know what the Fediverse is".

@VeryBadLlama how exhausting.

As scientists, we have rung the alarm bell about the climate crisis for decades. But the EU has not taken our warnings seriously- emissions continue to rise. The EU promises to keep global heating below 1.5°C, while allowing subsidisation of fossil fuels and new exploration. (2/3)

@ScientistRebellion_NL @ScientistRebellion Wouldn’t it make more sense to block the road than a metro station??

@salgood Some Diogenes shit right here

@salgood Diogenes of sinope over here

@salgood Those aren't right angles (at least in Euclidean space).

@dymaxion It looks to me that NASA is in a similar bind RE human access to space. Their choices [so far as I'm aware] are a company run by an undeservedly rich inveterate fascist or a company most recently known for their aircraft suffering multiple incidents.

@dymaxion I thought you were talking about mobile phones until the final line. Our world is sad and broken.

@dymaxion There's a lot of situations with two bad options competing for which'll hurt and/or inconvenience you the least in the world which is in itself a sad situation to find oneself in.

@tmcw Interesting idea. If you eventually find the time, you're also welcome to try out https://www.transit.land/documentation/routing-api/

@tmcw did you see @jakelazaroff’s recent experiments with something very similar? https://jakelazaroff.com/words/a-local-first-case-study

@tmcw > I’m spending my 9-5 focused on Val Town, and my weekends and afternoons are dedicated more to reading, running, social activities, and generally touching grass, rather than hacking on web projects. I miss the web projects, but not that much.

Basically me too, although I've never really had a phase of working seriously on side-projects 😄

but...if you're ever interested in having collaborators for such a project, sign me up!

This took so much time to do!
We used Zepto 8, a #pico8 emulator and improved on it a lot until there were no differences with the official Pico 8 version, and we ported it on Switch
To my knowledge, it's the first Pico 8 game to run on Switch, there was Celeste Classic, yes, but it had been completely remade in C#
When I say we, I am talking about Potico, a tiny company I launched with two friends, and we hope to make more Pico 8 games available on Switch in the future!

@nusan Whoop, congrats - very exciting! 👏
Also cool to see big updates to the engine - great work all round 🤓

@climatebrad Same here in Pyrenean Mountains,
Long time ago, activists fought to try to prevent heavy truck trafic between France and Spain... Super heavy rains did the job.

@climatebrad

would be better to block fossil energy facilities, or representatives (governments) buildings

blocking road / public services only raises hate towards climate activists and put them in danger

@climatebrad Yes. People on their commute aren't causing this; the oil industry and government are. Picking on regular people is cowardly; go after the sources, where it actually makes a difference, and all else follows from that.

@EvenRouault
This is the stuff nightmares are made off... geo "standards".

There's also R sf dataframes that allow geometries with different CRS yay! We really need geometry collections with multiple CRS, because that's what we usually use /s

@EvenRouault This is gold, thanks for sharing!

@EvenRouault Can we add GPKG's coordinate precision which allows to map the position of an atom to the rant list? https://github.com/opengeospatial/geopackage/issues/365
