  1. Been trying to connect #OpenMaps from my phone to my #NextCloud for like twenty minutes (I have a site survey of a county coming up, prefer it on my server than Giggle Craps, NDAs and stuff). Finally log into my NextCloud to find that I'd somehow disabled the NC App. [ *Galactic Face Palm* ]

    #Fixed #DumbassMe

    Now to unfuck Office on one-and-a-half instances.

  2. So, the offline maps I downloaded to my watch last night, I gave a test of today, - there's a point where 6 roads all converge at a roundabout,
    Google Maps; only shows 4 roads, I think 2 are an estate, but they're still navigable.
    Anyway, the open map on the watch showed all six, which gives me confidence when I run along unfamiliar routes, that the mapping is correct, and bits haven't (for whatever reason) been omitted.

  7. Downloaded #OSMand today, we'll see how that works locally.
    Although government institutions here use Open Maps, so I think it'll be fine, already discovered much more detailed trail maps than Google (wish I'd known that before) and I can pre-map a route with it, like #MapmyRun and save the #GPX file to my phone, then export to my watch...so that's really handy, but best of all the Gulf of Mexico is, and always will be the Gulf of Mexico!

  12. Fun #opensource tip of the day, if you are looking to switch to OpenstreetMap @openstreetmap app for maps/navigation and missing the live traffic updates all you need is to turn on the plugin for online maps and add the below with a name as an overlayer. Took me a bit to find the right one so here's the code that worked for me (as url)
    mts0.googleapis.com/vt/lyrs=m,

    Edit: works in #canada your mileage may vary

  14. Do you want to learn more about how the human geography of Gaza (or other parts of historic Palestine) has changed over 75 years of israeli settler colonialism, ongoing displacement, and systemic violence? Use Palestine Open Maps (POM), to explore, search, and download historical maps of Gaza and other parts of Palestine before and after the Nakba.

  15. Good grief. Google Maps is now pinning every map ad you happen to click and open while logged in for easy finding again, regardless of if you just clicked it to read a review or used the company. This place was a result of a craigslist advertisement of a local lawncare company ad. No relationship with me other than I clicked through to see the reviews in maps

    No easy way to remove either other than going into your full map history

  18. I love that #icecat now ships with privacy redirects to #invidious (privacy-preserving youtube front-end), #nitter (same but for twitter), #openMaps, #simplytranslate (instead of #google maps & translate), #wikiless (instead of #wikipedia), and more now.

    It's fast. I usually don't even notice I'm on a proxy site, except when I watch entire Youtube playlists without seeing a single ad. This is a big improvement not just to icecat's set of features, but also it's approach to encouraging non-compliance with the biometric surveillance industry. I used to essentially turn icecat back into firefox by disabling most of its features to ensure no websites get broken (so that I can use picture-in-picture on #guix), but now I'm getting way less broken websites and more alternative front ends to predatory websites that I'm going to visit for discourse regardless.

    Also hot tip, if you watch videos on invidious instead of youtube, it will actually recommend helpful videos to you, because rather than suggesting intellectual dark web videos for years to no avail, you get stuff like "The Nanopass Framework As a Nanopass Compiler", "#Lean meets #compilers", or whatever you're into, no matter how obscure, stuff you would have had to skim through completely unrelated Lex Friedman suggested content to find otherwise.

  19. @[email protected] that's cool lyft is going to use openmaps instread of google maps. lyft.com/rev/posts/lyfts-secre
    Allows more control and adding custom functionality.
