We’ve known for a while that he only cares if they’re about him. The CIA is running out of ideas to shoehorn his name into the text.

I’m joking

What do you mean, Edinburgh? The city in question is Prague. See the console brand, it’s from Prague 16 (Radotín).

Edit: /s

BTW the Czechoslovak electronics brand TESLA also made a crappy Pong console using a presumably stolen chip design.

Mmm… realistic

Reddit as in the company? Of course, the first Reddit search result has been manually set to a “Stay away from Lemmy” post.

In Prague late at night, it’s not fun to come across a group of drunk tourists (usually Brits) seeking drugs. Locals also get drunk but they’re not nearly as obnoxious.

Too bad that what you want in a Google-free Android distro isn’t what the manufacturers want.

He got a used tractor and 2 normal-sized unopened barrels of diesel, both manufactured in the 1970s, during the early 1990s privatization of Czechoslovak collective farms. We don’t use the tractor very much (it overheats after about an hour but that’s still more than enough time to plow our little field or haul a wagon) so one barrel is still more than half full. It takes 10+ years to empty a tank.

Except the OSs in the lower compact section

Can confirm, my dad still uses the same tractor and diesel barrels his grandpa did. They are all from the 70s.

If you’re not good at US history: 1789 was when the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation.

It’s prohibited to sell highway vignettes for more than what the state charges on the official website (which is not a lot) but the scammers in border regions obviously found ways around that by charging huge service fees for an automated process (other than typing a licence plate) or using a ridiculous € conversion rate, and marking their shack more prominently than the official vending machines found on all highways close to border crossings. Not a great first impression for visitors!

Sure but there is a huge step between not being able to drive the way one wants and where one wants. The cost is also vastly different: human drivers in cars are inherently dangerous and kill 40k people every year in the US. Of course this can be reduced with current technology by incentivizing alternatives to driving.

I didn’t like the last one. Sure, corpos would love to create a society akin to the one described but the way the story is framed, it’s as if driving one’s own car is the main tenet of freedom.

Try integrating with OpenStreetMap Traces and Tapiriik for ease-of-use. Recommend running your own instance for the latter. Not necessarily for the minimum viable product but consider this into the future.

Good bike computers like Garmin’s allow GPX export so HW compatibility is there. It’s a few manual steps but you can make the process automatic for example by syncing your HW tracker to Tapiriik (15+ brands supported), which then can auto-download GPX files to your computer via Dropbox (or without Dropbox if you run it locally), and then you can auto-upload those to OSM with one of these scripts running on your machine.

The map is a community effort and the lack of social features, which caters to introverts, keeps focus on the end goal - an accurate map of the world. Other platforms are suitable for social activities and you can link to your OSM trace from there.

Yes, seeing the trace geometry only with no map is a letdown. That’s why I suggested the visualizer in another comment. It would certainly improve the shareability of traces.

OSM doesn’t produce any hardware. They are a wiki-based world mapping effort. In addition, they run a PNG tile provider (so you can embed their map on a website), an article wiki for how to edit the map etc. and the trace repository.

You can use OSM and record traces using various apps mentioned on their wiki.

Come to think of it, OSM traces include timestamps and elevation for each recorded point, plus maybe other data from the uploaded GPX file. Maybe someone will create a Strava-style visualizer that serves HTML, SVGs or PNGs from trace IDs with a map, speed and elevation profile for easy sharing. Imagine your trace is https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/hagu/traces/11959920 and you change openstreetmap.org with perhaps openstreetmap-traceview.org and get a nice sharable overview that also has a PNG for preview on socials. Maybe even a page with a list of activities by user including kilometer stats by month, mode of transport etc.

That’s the neat part, there isn’t. Post about your trips where you want, you can then refer to the OSM trace.

People have given consent for you to improve OSM with that data though. For example, one GPS trace can be pretty inaccurate (especially under a canopy where aerial imagery also doesn’t work) but you can compile a dozen (get them with a location-specific query) and get a very good average. You can message people about those edits, and add notes.

Also, StreetComplete gives you achievements for completing quests and uploading traces. They are automated but it makes it look like actual people are grateful. Of course most people who use OSM will never actually thank the contributors but you’re still doing a great service by improving the map around you.

There is a great community effort at https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces

You can directly upload there with StreetComplete or Vespucci. Or exports from any tracking app that gives you a GPX file (including Strava I think). Otherwise, don’t really expect FOSS-minded people to share their trips.
