It should be (according to the video) but maybe sometimes you get an all bad set?

What’s the point of solidarity, anyhow? (popula.com)
 

I didn't know a better community to post it but I liked the way the author talks about solidarity for social movements in general.

What to use instead of gmail? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

If you really wanna get started with your own domain I highly recommend just getting https://purelymail.com/ setup for the hosting provider. It's going to be way cheaper than just about anything and you pay for what you use. I've been on it for a few years and never had a problem.

Rapid editor v2.5 released with advanced pedestrian mapping and more! in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Maybe it's just that my computer is slow but it seems much faster for scrolling around the map.

I generally only map in places where I am or have been but I definitely would be careful about using it in places with bad imagery.

AI stuff aside, the tool is so so much faster than iD it's kinda crazy.

Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What solution would you propose? I assume the main problem is that it supposedly limits Wikipedia's ability to ban people that would otherwise just make another account? Maybe they could limit VPN editing to accounts with 500 edits or whatever.

In any case now seems like a great time to prod them to reconsider this policy.

Thanks for sharing your script. I added a link to your comment at the end of the post 👍 I gotta learn JSOM one day.

Every Door 4.0 is released with improved GPS and Mapbox Imagery! in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I know the author wants to move to vector maps which could make it much easier for someone to selfhost something like that.

Might be worth mentioning your feedback on related issues (or creating them). The dev has been very responsive to feedback in the past.

What's wrong with android? I have bitwarden setup any basically any time I tap a password field it offers me to fill in from my vault.

I'm not sure but there is an open letter that you could sign that could have some hints https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40986638

Europe: Prepaid, internet only, no recurring fees in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If your laptop supports esim you can checkout https://esimdb.com/ which as a pretty comprehensive list. Most of these are prepaid for X months and you get Y GB of data. So could fit what you need.

The major Organic Maps June update in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What is your use case for navigating? I feel like if I'm in a new place OrganicMaps isn't so great for discovering POI. But if I'm in a place I already know decently it's pretty rare I need navigation anyway. I'd like to use OrganicMaps more though :)
