Does OSM have copyright easter eggs?
Although some OSMers have deliberately added errors to the OSM data as well (see posting on legal-talk by User:80n), this is strictly discouraged and contrary to OSM policy. It’s also very unnecessary. Even if we seek to represent reality perfectly, that will never be the reality of map data. With OpenStreetMap there’s a very unique and distinct fingerprint evident in the data coverage and details included, and yes, in the errors made. For example in 2012 the OpenStreetMap foundation could issue a statement with absolute confidence that Apple had used our maps (without crediting us) based on very evident copying, and without the need for introduced errors.

you are not a lion. you’re a pathetic ape.

i don’t care about the replies or the downVotes. This should be reminded every time.

it’s really irritating to cycle in front of an impatient driver even when there’s a 20km speed limit and a red light waiting ahead (some are irresistibly attracted to red lights. They want to drive as quickly as possible to just sit there and stare at it 🤷

meat is murder

should we add fake roads to osm to see if Boogle will add them (like paper map publishers used to do) ?

i think so

in that case, if I’m not wrong, you won’t be needing private dns from android

a societal choice indeed

(64) Can you add DNS over TLS/HTTP?

If you mean to intercept DNS over HTTP (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) requests to resolve domain names, this is not possible because DoH/DoT traffic is encrypted, which is the whole point of DoH/DoT.

Please see here about how you can use DoH/DoT with NetGuard anyway.

“don’t get mad, get even”

Im stuck with an s23 for a while yet. Is it even worth the trouble of trying to use f droid, shutting off google play services and disabling all the other shit on my phone, when at its core its all spyware?

it of course is.

i’m guessing you already know how to debloat your phone using adb.

in addition to what’s already posted you can use a private dns that filters system trackers as well ☞ https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

keep in mind, netGuard (or rethink) is less efficient when you use private dns

I really wish an alternative existed that wasn’t just a prototype or $1000.

a reconditioned second hand pixel or 1+ from a trusted seller must be less than 200. if you go for a nonPixel, check before buying if the model is supported on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

L’homme à coque

La voiture est la carapace de l’automobiliste. Il fait corps avec elle.

Se sentant profondément protégé par sa coque, qui n’est autre qu’une extension de lui-même dès qu’il se déplace, souvent dès le premier kilomètre, il est incapable d’apprécier sa vitesse. Il peut même oublier qu’il se déplace.

Le principe même du pare-brise, c’est de parer la brise, d’extraire l’automobiliste de cette expérience qui réveille les sens et nous permet de savoir que nous sommes dehors et que nous avançons.

Mais ce terme est complètement désuet : une brise, c’est un vent doux et léger. Il est réservé aux vents allant de 1 (très légère) à 39 km/h (bonne brise), soit la vitesse atteignable par un cycliste déjà costaud.

Non, à 50km/h, c’est un grand vent, le marin est à l’alerte depuis déjà longtemps, et si l’automobiliste n’a pas les larmes qui lui brouillent la vue, c’est parce que le plastique, l’acier et le verre l’ont extrait de son environnement.

Ainsi il n’y a rien d’étonnant à la situation si fréquente et dépénalisée consistant à se faire frôler son vélo à moins d’un mètre par un automobiliste ne voulant pour rien au monde admettre son erreur, celle qui vous a mis en danger, incontestablement.

Rien d’étonnant non plus au fait que l’automobiliste veuille systématiquement dépasser le cycliste. Lui voler la priorité. Exiger du piéton qu’il lui dise merci, à lui, le roi ou la reine de la route qui a daigné donner au badaud l’autorisation exceptionnelle de traverser le passage… piéton.

I’ve seen many "full blown bridge"s built just to make defensive constructions accessible 🤷
