Ok, going to try a redirect now!

If I'm never seen again this is why! 🫠

I'll be over at @tim

Well that wasn't too hard. I have an instance setup. Just normal self hosting troubles.

Is there anyway to import toots into this new account?

I read a few years ago it wasn't possible.

#mastodon

@samwilson for me at least, that practically guarantees I'd never reach a working solution!

Self hosting gives me that instant gratification, only to be unmaintained and fragile in a few months time 😅

More and more tempted to stand up my own Mastodon instance.

Surely this is a bad idea 🙃

I'm not sure where the motivation came from, but I'm back at trying to map every building in Willagee.

To make progress more tractable I'm starting with the western side. The outline is complete! Now to tick off block by block!

#OpenStreetMap

@barefootstache I'm about to do a few of these from a hike I did last week in Aus. Will definitely dig into what you've done as a guide!

@hugh I finally gave that study a proper read. I found this figure particularly striking just how large the variation between emissions between animal and plant proteins are.

This study methodology does seem to try its hardest to capture the variations as best it can.

@hugh Bias warning here, I'm vegan.

I'm not sure about the plant based meats but have you seen anything comparing plant based alternatives with the pasture grown meats?

I've heard countless other vegans mention this article, though I'll admit I haven't read it, saying plant based diets are the single biggest impactful thing someone could do to reduce their footprint.

The DICOM file format is so frustrating! Every time I feel as though I'm making progress more road blocks 🙃

@samwilson Oh that's awesome! I've walked past that place for years and yet never visit.

@ada @jfml Tho not sound based signalling

@ada @jfml I absolutely love https://sharedrop.io for this!

@hugh Just from the perspective of a web developer, Safari has a long history of stalling the progress of the web.

If you allow me a tin foil hat moment here, it's pretty clear they'd prefer native applications to remain the priority.

I agree, it's a shame they don't at least have Firefox on this list. In past jobs we've not often had the time to support safari's quirks.

This is very cool! https://comby.dev/

If you've ever wanted to write a quick codemod to perform a refactor across an entire code base.

Perhaps this is a nicer way than a trickey AST manipulation?

Had a blast this hacking away this weekend, almost have an end to end #osm editor.

Have POI download, super primitive add and edit and really close to getting the upload complete.

osmChange XML format added a bit of complexity, but I'm really pleased with my GeoJSON and JSON Patch setup for representing data internally.

Excited for what I can knock out in the next few nights. Once all of this scaffolding is done I can really start to experiment with user experience tweaks 😁

I want this to be something as approachable to beginners as possible.

In browser, no download required.

I'd also love to experiment with scraping store listing pages and offering StreetComplete - ish prompts like:

"Is there a post box here?"

Which if yes launches into a new marker mode prefilled with the scraped details for confirmation.

#OpenStreetMap probably doesn't need a new editor. But when has things like this ever stopped me from tinkering on one before 🙃

My aim is to streamline adding POI's as best I can. If ID were a mobile friendly and only had the bear bones features that's the dream editor.

@barefootstache I did, it looks excellent! Very similar vibe to OSM Go! which I love!

So I've converted my quick AusPost locator app prototype into a small react app.

Also added Post Boxes to the mix. There are a ton of things to add to the map!

I wonder if this could be converted into something more general for matching OSM with store locator data.

While importing this data outright doesn't seem like a scalable plan. What kinda improvements could we make to the UX of a POI editing app if there was this data available for most chain stores?

Zoom in on Perth south of the river.

@dean @barefootstache Will do thanks.

We have a few post offices missing in Perth! 🙃
