  • I’m quite new to OSM mapping myself, but I found following flow working for me - while out, I create a note via Street Complete reminding me to add something (stairs, bench, wastebin), maybe take a photo and attach it to the note for reference, and later, when I get home, I add the thing in openstreetmap.org editor. Last step is to “resolve” the note I created.

    I only tried this once or twice a few days ago, I’m still not sure it’s a good idea, maybe it’s discouraged to “spam” notes like this, and also I don’t know how long the attached photos stay hosted, increasing hosting costs to whoever pays the bills.



  • As a Slovak person, currently horribly embarrassed for my own proto-fascist government, I wholeheartedly agree. We’ve had our chance, but majority of voters over here are mentally 50 years in the past and brainwashed by Russian disinfo campaigns. We really are gullible idiots.

    EDIT: That said, it’s mostly just our government making performative noise for benefit of its voter base. We are not affected nowhere near as much by Ukraine’s current gas block as they want you to believe.





  • The language choice was because Ladybird started as a component of SerenityOS, which is also written in C++. With this separation, they are free to gradually introduce other language(s) into the codebase, and maybe eventually replace C++ entirely, piece by piece.

    In Hackernews thread about this, the head maintainer mentioned that they have been evaluating several languages already, so we’ll see what the future brings.

    In the meantime, let’s try to be mature about it, what do you say?
