Six years ago today we launched https://openbenches.org/ - it is a crowdsourced map of memorial benches from around the world.

Uses OSM for displaying the maps and letting uploaders pick the exact right spot.

There’s an API and data-dump so it can be incorporated into OSM - but our data isn’t always as precise as needed. I’m still trying to work out a way to map an OSM bench ID to our ID.

If you’re out mapping and spot a memorial bench, please do submit a geotagged photo to our site :-)

Not that I know of. And I don’t think a Lemmy user can block (for example) a Mastodon user.

What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.

Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/

Oooof! Yeah, I don’t think I could cope with that.

I used mine to inspect the solar panels on our roof - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/inspecting-solar-panels-using-a-drone/

I wanted to see if they were covered in bird shit. They weren’t.

Note when I did this, it was legal to fly a drone that close to private property. I don’t think it still is.

Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.

Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
