We all need to contribute to open maps in order for then to be actually usable. Some parts don't have any street numbers, and some don't even have street names, much less business info on them.

EDIT: We also should contribute to the open maps lemmy community and help out.

I guess they wanted a sort of tricorder pin from star trek but then added more features? Idk

I looked on their front page and EVERY pet subreddit I saw was someone waving a dead pet around for attention. A ton of them. These people are insane, a disgusting shame. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Because posting pictures of corpses is generally considered insulting to the corpse as well as morbid.

I still remember when AAA games where $30 and that cost included the disk and case, sure inflation is a thing but with digital only these games still should be cheaper, not the same or more expensive than a physical copy.

Oh ok good. Yeah, I'm in the USA and I am trying to add more content as fast as I can into open maps so that these alternatives could be more useful.

Why Even Your Local Grocery Store Wants Your Digital Data (www.youtube.com)
 

I honestly feel defeated right now, it feels like currently it's impossible to truly stay private online unless one is willing to move to a cabin in the woods with no internet and you stop using tech all together and truly become a ghost and stay offline. Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is actually making a difference? Because right now it doesn't feel like it.

How to pass low voltage ethernet cables through drywall with insulation (lemm.ee)
 

Hello everyone, I am pulling my home's existing ethernet cables from the garage and into my home to install a network rack. Currently my garage does not have insulation (for a future project), so it get's too hot during summer for my router to live there, so I want to install it in my mudroom where there is insulation. My question is if I drill a hole to put some sort of cable cover (ie. https://a.co/d/1hHosME) will it affect my home's insulation too much where I should be doing something else? If so, what should I do to improve the cable runs?

I Tracked an NYC Subway Rider's Movements with an MTA ‘Feature’ (www.404media.co)
 

During all this monitoring, I wasn’t anywhere near the rider. I didn’t even need to see them with my own eyes. Instead, I was sitting inside an apartment, following their movements through a feature on a Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) website, which runs the New York City subway system.

Any weather apps that use the NOAA api? (lemm.ee)
 

I've been looking for a weather app to use but every app uses AccuWeather which actually gets their data from NOAA (which is public and always free to use) and then repackage it for their own profit, so I would like to not give them any traffic if possible and go straight to NOAA. Does anyone know any apps like this?
