NEW: probably the most important Covid chart I’ve made
As Delta goes global, it’s a tale of two pandemics, as the heavily-vaccinated Western world talks of reopening while deaths across Africa and Asia soar to record highs

And this documentary is brought to you by the letter B" - Bikers, Burundi, Bananas, Beer, Brawn, Boldness, and brass balls. 😉
The Burundian people, and their biking culture is amazing.

2489. Bad Map Projection: The Greenland Special
title text: The projection for those who think the Mercator projection gives people a distorted idea of how big Greenland is, but a very accurate idea of how big it SHOULD be.

I just noticed that #Gmaps are being extra, uhrm, "helpful" these days. The apps I use that utilize their location services now show auto-magically renamed streets.
So, N. Domingo, for example becomes "North Domingo", where the the "N" actually stands for Nicanor.

Truth. I didn't like the "interaction with ticket only". Even for chat. SotM was online, wasn't it? So why to limit the communicatio?

This weekend is the global #OpenStreetMap conference #StateOfTheMap will take place online ( https://2021.stateofthemap.org/ ), and I've helped them set up a mastodon⇄twitter cross poster, so there'll be lots of fedi toots from @sotm
Not sure why #GitHub #CoPilot should be license violation -- have you read the Terms of Service?
https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-of-service#4-license-grant-to-us
It's written there: "... or otherwise analyze it on our servers ...".
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but it's kind of clear to me.
I've updated https://www.damn-project.org/#mapping-workflows with the mapping workflows currently supported by the #damn project.
Get inspired by the Tanga Building Footprints Import

I've just published new #OpenStreetMap diary about the mapping workflow with prepared data using the #damn project.

Just want to say that I just published this repository https://github.com/karlprieb/writefreely-docker.
It's basically a way to deploy @writefreely using docker.

I feel like someone at Microsoft is watching KDE Plasma a little bit too closely...
Plasma's slogan since 2017: "Simple by default, powerful when needed"
Microsoft advertising Windows 11: "Simple by default, powerful by choice"
Really? 🤔
The main visible change of the #damn project upgrade https://git.sr.ht/~qeef/damn-deploy/refs/v0.21.0 is the refactoring of the JavaScript client. Well, not much visible as it's refactoring. However, at least the statistics page changed and maybe a bit of performance improvement is done.
Preparing for new mapping workflow is not much visible change. (The teaser are two new scripts of https://git.sr.ht/~qeef/damn-client.py)
One of things I like less than JavaScript is Java, but the upgrade to the damn plugin is needed this time.

Make a community presentation at an #OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF Board Meeting. Are you part of a local chapter, or a local community, putting together an organized project, or developing software? The board would love to hear from you.
Feel free to test refactored web client for the #damn project: https://git.sr.ht/~qeef/damn-client.js (just clone repo & run static/index.html)
The changes are just to make the code a little bit clearer, as it's pain for me to maintain that JavaScript thing. Small performance and visual improvements included.
I will be off the net for the weekend, I would make the release just now otherwise.

I created a #Rust library to read #OpenStreetMap data files (PBF, XML, OSC) initially to scratch my own itch. But it's nice that some others are apparentlying finding it and using it and sending me patches. 🙂🙂

The vaccination at Umi, a town in Fukuoka, is done smoothly and effectively with a doctor & his team moving while elderly residents sit and wait. They can give shots to 120 people in an hour, 8 times faster than before
I think that something like this helps developers getting oriented in the #damn project. Maybe administrators, too. This graph is not meant for users/mappers.
- Solid links are docker-compose config-related.
- Dashed links are HTTP requests.
- Dotted is just-not-used-now connection.
I've summarized the main points of the thread in the #OpenStreetMap diary https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/qeef/diary/396811
