Thanks for chiming in—this confirms my suspicion about the MapComplete instance of Panoramax.

An OpenStreetMap France representative on the official forums informs me that long term, the French community’s instance is intended to host photos from France only.

Just a reminder: the OSM France instance accepts pictures outside of France only for testing… we won’t be able to globally store pictures from all over the world for limited storage reason.

This means unfortunately, from what I can tell, the rest of the world does not yet have a “home instance” for contributing stretches/sequences of street level imagery to Panoramax.

Do you upload to Panoramax from within the MapComplete app or something else?

I’ve seen it in the US as well.

Check the community discussion thread (linked in the OP). I’m not sure they cover the Persian/Arabian Gulf specifically, but in general terms your question is likely answered in that thread.

TL;DR: There are various tags, prefixes, suffixes, whole nine yards for documenting all the different types of names.

Does this ancient macbook pro still receive OS updates? Separate but related for purposes of choosing hardware. Thanks!

We walked uphill both ways.

Does PipePipe allow the user to log into their Google account, though?

Other responses have covered the “not without being logged into Google” part, so I’ll just add that if you don’t care about being logged into Google and the thing you want from a front end is Sponsor Block, then yes: YouTube in a browser with the Sponsor Block extension. On Android, the YouTube app w/ Revanced accomplishes the same thing.

Mind if I ask which VPN service you use?

Supes excited for these two:

• @carlos-cabello added a way to filter posts by title only (and not body) when searching.
• @dessalines integrated a new rust clearurls library into lemmy that will remove tracking params for any post or comment text (Much thanks to @jendrikw for creating this library), increased the bio max length from 300 to 1000, removes lemmy’s reliance on openssl, made the list logins response more uniform, added the ability to restore content on an unban, added a default comment sort type for both the local site, and your user.

Short answer: Mobile hot spot (w/ your own cellular device) is preferable to public wifi from a security perspective.

There are other considerations, such as how much cellular data downloads cost to you, what sites you’re visiting, what you’re actually doing, etc. In general, it’s advisable to avoid public wifi if you can, but if you must connect to public wifi, then you should make darn sure you connect to the right network (watch out for imposter networks w/ a legitimate looking name) and use VPN (ideally a paid service) to encrypt your traffic. Even with both of these measures, you’re best off avoiding sensitive activities like online banking on public wifi. If you must do banking or other sensitive stuff, either do it on your phone or wait until you get home.

Hope this helps.

Editing to add: When I initially responded, I’d forgotten which community I was in. In this context, I believe the other responses are better than mine, but I’ll keep mine up in case it helps other readers.

Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.

I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.

Should all of those tags get prefixed with disused:?

I think not. It’s been a little bit since I’ve studied or used the disused:* prefix, but I believe it’s only needed on the main feature tag. (citation needed, ofc)

I wonder how much of it is Disney thinks this might actually work versus the ole delay, delay, delay tactic. Probably a little bit of both.

Every Door is another app for updating hours and contact info for businesses while out and about. It’s available for both iOS and Android.

For photos, Wikimedia Commons seems like the best approach, although really any website will do (as long as there are no licensing issues w/ that site and OSM). There is a whole wiki page about linking OSM features to photos.

Unsure about reviews, though.

Thank you!

Can you clarify your question? Are you looking for a map of boat landings where you can put your canoe on the water, or routes that you can actually paddle in your canoe?
