i'm no expert — consensus sounds like putting disused only on the main tag, and when i've encountered this, i haven't marked anything disused at all. i've only looked at the stop/platform to make sure they weren't in any relation (transit line relations may include the passing way but shouldn't include the disused stop/platform). and i make sure route_ref isn't set on the stop/platform. were the stop to be used again, i figure it would have the same ref/stop id and operator, so i don't remove them. listening for better ideas though

got my tech within the last year, was stunned at how not old-white-guy the class was. all age groups, balanced genders, mixed races. many seemed there for neighborhood emergency teams. the airwaves are dead most of the time i've turned the rig on, except during the net hour. i feared exactly what you've heard but thankfully haven't run into it. yet.

aye, sailors, i see. are the bonus tracks purchasable loose, or do they try to make you buy the whole album?

it seems to me that flying drones into trees would be a massively expensive hobby

wth 'taylor's version'? like there was an o.g. eras tour that made money for scooter?

OSM has a lot more data inside than the website shows - in dense shopping areas you can't zoom in far enough to see all the POIs, much less business names.

I've read before that using cached previews was done to stay accessible to less-powerful mobile devices, which would have smaller CPUs that would be taxed by rendering the native vector data. I view it as a branding disadvantage that OSM appears, from desktops, to have less info than alternatives. But that's a battle that's been had many times before, one might as well argue over paper vs plastic.

Welcome! I'm a new amateur in the States. Like you, I peek in here and find that at the moment, it doesn't take long. The frog boil has worked quite well in Reddit; the frogs are staying in their pots even as enshittification becomes obvious (pro tip, it's spelled IPO). Unlike you, I'm new enough that I have nothing worthwhile to contribute yet.

As for Mastodon, I'm on an instance with a 5k character limit. Some instances run modified versions known as glitch or hometown, which allow the admin to set a limit (well) above 500. I didn't find a handy list of these easily, but a little searching in google or r/Mastodon may turn up ideas.

It's a very heavy building - multiple stories in earthquake country, and I'm not on the top floor. Everything dies when I leave the nook with the windows. NOAA works literally only on the windowsill, TRACON almost never clears the noise floor once I'm not near the window, and I hear some smaller UHF repeaters away from the window but haven't yet heard the 2m (it's not super high traffic, so can't say I haven't just been unlucky).

We're allowed on the roof and I've been up there, everything's peachy. When I'm at the office downtown, I'm on a high floor, so I can pick up the 2m easily even though I'm on the other side of the building.

NO. HOW MANY OF HER ARE THERE TO BE DOING ALL THIS?!

The main URL points to this:

Our map data is often downloaded and used offline on various devices for several weeks or months. For offline data to be useful, it should at least be expected to remain unchanged in the next few weeks when you map it.

yes, by this blurb, concession for offline users does supersede safety.

i'm an editor active enough to have been granted foundation membership but hadn't known this rule; it indicates a view of osm as analogous to a paper map rather than for real-time navigation. if a change of less than weeks' length is discouraged, i can't in good conscience steer my friends away from google maps, as navigation is not a primary use case.
