USB-A is still in wide use, it’s what most people just call USB, it’s the non-reversible one that most thumbdrives use.

USB-B (which includes mini-USB and micro-USB, among others) is being slowly phased put in favour of USB-C

I think we can arrive to a best-of-both-worlds solution if we just up the tolerance for when solar noon can be to 12:00±2 h. If China just had +7 instead of +8 as their timezone then 99 % of the population would have solar noon in between 10:30 and 13:30. Same applies to the entire EU (excluding Outermost Regions) if it had +1. The entirety of South America and most of the Caribbean would fit in +4. The US could definitely get away with 3 timezones instead of its current 5 (-6, -8, -10).

And the Holocene/Human Era Calendar!

I pronounce these all differently though? [wɛɹ], [wəɹ] and [wiɹ]

Okay, now kick the Americans out of Pituffik.

Community sourced moderation seems sooo in line with Fediverse ideals! And would probably go a long way avoiding mod burnout and avoid cases like lemm.ee’s

#1693 here!

LeBron James?

AFAIK FlorisBoard will support gesture typing with it soon (they already support normal typing with it) and it’s FOSS!

Sangaline/DGHP and NALMY come to mind. The first tries to optimise for uniqueness of gestures and the second for distance travelled, both meant for hand gliding typing

Thank you! These’ll find some use

Definitely! Privacy is a human right

It’d be quite hard to pinpoint your place of abode if you live in a mildly dense area, and you can always avoid doing noticeably more frequent/dense/intricate mapping centered around your house

As I said you can also delay the upload of changesets until you’re back from vacation if it’s only for a few days/weeks (as well as using different accounts for when you’re away)

I also think someone analysing OSM changesets like that would be more trouble than it’s worth and there’s lower hanging fruit out there

You can make it anonymous by creating an account with a different username that you don’t use anywhere else and a burner e-mail via SimpleLogin or AnonAddy or 10minutemail. Maybe also a VPN? And in the case of StreetComplete, uploading changesets manually at random times.

There’s no way to not make a public trail, that’s just how mapping works, but you can make it really hard to trace back to you. You also have to understand that no surveillance capitalism is at play here, there’s no actor that will consume this data and use it to feed you ads or content.

Any tips on how to learn to use JOSM? I feel that I should take the leap from iD, but the learning curve is scary

I’m just some guy that doesn’t like Europe being reliant on the US and I am also against Russia

That’s the point, figure out a way to stop relying on them. It’d have been better if it weren’t necessary to have a wake-up call like this, but if that’s what it takes to achieve that result, I’m okay with it

I like this! It’s a good thing for the EU to decouple from the US. The EU’s military budget is definitely good enough, just very badly managed. This will push the EU to get its shit together and achieve proper autonomy. Only then it’ll be able to enter international agreements on equal footing with other superpowers and not have it be a serfdom relationship in exchange for protection
