It’s very similar to Wikipedia. Changesets can be filtered by multiple criteria such as geographical area, added/changed/deleted item count, software, declared sources, comment or account age. Moderation tools are mostly open source but by community members (not OSMF themselves), such as OSMCha.
Be careful though: Pokémon Go players are known to have vandalized OpenStreetMap. Since the game uses it for the background map and for spawning Pokémon in thematic locations, they would create fake miniature parks, lakes etc. near their homes.
Reddit as in the company? Of course, the first Reddit search result has been manually set to a “Stay away from Lemmy” post.
YouTube apparently censors “GIMP”
You can add shops in the “Places” overlay.
In Prague late at night, it’s not fun to come across a group of drunk tourists (usually Brits) seeking drugs. Locals also get drunk but they’re not nearly as obnoxious.

Some mixed signals here… she should double-check gender.nix
If you’re not good at US history: 1789 was when the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation.
It’s prohibited to sell highway vignettes for more than what the state charges on the official website (which is not a lot) but the scammers in border regions obviously found ways around that by charging huge service fees for an automated process (other than typing a licence plate) or using a ridiculous € conversion rate, and marking their shack more prominently than the official vending machines found on all highways close to border crossings. Not a great first impression for visitors!
That’s the neat part, there isn’t. Post about your trips where you want, you can then refer to the OSM trace.
People have given consent for you to improve OSM with that data though. For example, one GPS trace can be pretty inaccurate (especially under a canopy where aerial imagery also doesn’t work) but you can compile a dozen (get them with a location-specific query) and get a very good average. You can message people about those edits, and add notes.
Also, StreetComplete gives you achievements for completing quests and uploading traces. They are automated but it makes it look like actual people are grateful. Of course most people who use OSM will never actually thank the contributors but you’re still doing a great service by improving the map around you.
There is a great community effort at https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces
You can directly upload there with StreetComplete or Vespucci. Or exports from any tracking app that gives you a GPX file (including Strava I think). Otherwise, don’t really expect FOSS-minded people to share their trips.
“at 20 years old” is usually used for humans. For a second, I thought “no way Linus is younger than me”
Also, it’s GitHub celebrating. That’s as if PornHub celebrated 40000 years of porn.
Here’s the YouTube channel showcasing the collection: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9HqNuXOlRBxviIdiTkoqtg
A better-sounding one shown in the Hackaday article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnbsPARrkss&t=15
This is a great time for the engineer to exert leverage.
"Yes, I can fix it in hours. Here are my demands:
I did that too, the tiny fan is pretty much silent at 5V. The HDD has so much surface area it only needs a little air circulation.
When an HDD works continuously it can heat up to above 60 °C if proper air circulation is not allowed, which can cause a very premature failure. In fact, it should be kept under 40 °C to achieve the intended lifespan. Unfortunately, PC cases are usually not great at removing heat from the HDD by default.
As for your drive, it most likely has a temperature sensor so it can be displayed by various utilities.
Yes but please OCR them because some of us are on mobile and get 1280 ⅔pixels width in landscape mode
There are screensavers for the Nokia 3310 but my grandma does not use one and it’s still alright. The damage you saw may have happened if the driver hanged and started sending DC to the display instead of AC pulses, which is unlikely for dedicated COB ones like on the 3310 or 7100. That (and mechanical damage such as glass breaking or delamination, or very high voltage, obviously) is the only way an LCD cell itself can degrade. Much more frequently, a rubber strip or flat cable gets loose, or the MCU or LCD driver fails (very common in 1980s/1990s CMOS technology, such as calculators). Therefore, in a well-built device not exposed to shocks and quick temperature changes, an STN LCD will be unlikely to fail before anything else.
It’s a monochrome STN LCD, dude. I have never seen this technology with even temporary burn-in unless driven incorrectly.
We’ve known for a while that he only cares if they’re about him. The CIA is running out of ideas to shoehorn his name into the text.
