As far as I know, no vector equivalent of cyclosm has been made. OpenMapTiles's data are too poor ("compressed" : different cycle way types are summarized in a unique tag) to make a great cycle map.

> OpenMapTiles, which OpenFreeMap uses, while open source, does not have a license that encourages derivative works Can you elaborate on this ? I'm derivating OMT and am quite worried now ^^

Related : I'm building https://github.com/laem/cartes , an alternative to Google Maps. On top of a custom protomaps tileset and a few other MapTiler options (such as satellite and hiking), it packs a search engine,

Yes, I've switched to Bluesky. After investigating their protocols, Bluesky fits my needs way better. I'm quite convinced now Mastodon will never leave the tech sphere.

This is just a legal requirement in the EU. Nothing more. It doesn't make this archive useful.

I'm sorry but I'm 100 % involved in a big open source project (rebuilding google maps). Why would I spend time hosting an instance of mastodon ? I'm happy to pay for it. Bluesky says it's 10 cents per user per year. Happ

In 2018 I spent 1 year with my Samsung Galaxy S8 as my only computer. Developed a big national website and a new programming language from Termux. Going to work with only my computer in my pocket was awesome. No sync between devices anymore

Worse : my old instance had its backup down for months. Also, no GIF support. I asked the admin if he was wanting to get my help, or some funds to help for the servers. Said no. Imagine : to get GIF support by switching instance, I would lo

You've lost your posts. Of course keeping your followers is important. But having a new empty wall was a real problem for me. I didn't know it. Nobody told me, from the people to the interface that I would lose my 3500 messages. I

Maybe they realized Mastodon has no real migration from one instance to another, ant that it's been a criticized limitation since 2019. Edit : people answering my message probably think as I did that Mastodon enables messages migration

Hi, which "author" (it's a French gov funded project), and which dataset ?

by maelito 2y ago
Huge difference though : one person with a car and some energy can panoramax-map most of a city in one day. The same cannot be said of one person in one day for mapping the data on OSM. Expect Panoramax to grow way faster than OSM :)

The team behind Panoramax is already applying AI analysis. See e.g. https://forum.openstreetmap.fr/t/detection-des-stationnement... Most Panoramax discussions are in French, but you'll find links to English code.

In case you wonder, Panoramax instances are 100 % French for now. Even if the OSM-FR instance can be used for photos outside of France, don't expect yet to see lots of international photos on it. It takes time to communicate and convin

That's wrong. France's electricity is 70 % nuclear, on plants that were never built during a dictatorship phase.

by maelito 2y ago
> Or they were—costs are so high now that we don‘t even build plants anymore. That's factually wrong. France has a program of nuclear building. We don't build a lot of plants in Europe, but we do.

As long as you just simulate transit, without the complexity of walking, cycling, driving to the station.
