trying to code while driving is a terrible idea, and it is not changed by whether complaining it about it is virtue signalling "is a lot higher than the chances" - you killing people due to such stupid idea is far far worse, so th

Thanks so much! I used it multiple times when traveling far away (and also contributed back what I spotted missing).

1) is map style you looking at showing AED at all? No map style shows all OpenStreetMap data. 2) have you made edit or created a note? Many notes are waiting for years for volunteer to verify them

Ryanair admittedly wins on price and regulatory setup in EU provides guarantees that planes are safe. Yes, Ryanair stole 100 euro from me once, but if next flight is 50 to 250 euro cheaper than competition... I did some big projects motivat

OpenStreetMap commmunity, for variety of reasons, avoids questionable or very novel approaches to intellectual property. I guess that some may be calling it overdoing in direction opposite than Internet Archive did. It is at least partially

Sadly, I do not control resource-wasting scripts running crawlers. And to answer your intended demand: this is in some cases impossible or unreasonable. And things were working fine before LLM DDoS.

The claim was broader, specifically "Designing for the stupid users also makes life easier for the smart users. No matter what you are designing" it can be in fact improvement for both but in many cases it is not

Even better is to edit directly at osm.org. Reporting from within CoMaps generates note that will sometimes wait years for verification.
