The OSM World Discord is a pretty professional Discord, and memes, especially ones not related to OSM, are kept to a minimum to maintain that environment. That was made clear to you several times before your ban.

I’ve heard from multiple people who have been confused as to why just signing up with Google didn’t work, and I’ve advised them to sign up with username/password because it looked to me like the sign up just didn’t work as well. It would be great if there was instead a dedicated screen for SSO signups saying something like “now you just need to pick a username”, because that’s not at all clear from the current flow.

Neat, I happened to edit the Northwest Columbus marker recently. It’s a big further north, but I’m planning to work on the zoo as well.

Intersections can be complicated, I also don’t have a great grasp of them, but I haven’t done a lot of editing with them.

I’d like to distinguish between autocracy, which I think is a fair definition of what we currently have in the Carto project, whether or not that is a bad thing, and anarchy, which is more Swedneck’s recent project.

OSM uses the “on the ground” principle, referring to who has control of the area, rather than using any one group’s borders, for disputed areas. See osm.wiki/Disputed_territories and https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf.

Always love to see border weirdness, especially with regards to Ohio! The College Corner and Orange Township situations have both personally caused me confusion in the past.

I’m guessing “I reI reI re” is some kind of typo/error?

Thanks for all the updates as always!

@Marketplace NFT commenting here is quite ironic. Of course, this is a diary comment, not a changeset comment, but it’s a similar idea. Hopefully the recent wave of diary spam can be cracked down on.

Whose copyright exactly has TagaSanPedroAko violated, and how?

I see no building generalisation on OpenMapTiles

I took a look around me, and there does appear to be some very subtle building simplification, most noticably on rounded buildings. It also appeared that some very close buildings were merged around zoom 14, although that may just be a rendering quirk.

I’m looking at https://www.maptiler.com/maps/#topo//vector/13.83/-84.73729/39.51232

Very nice!

Quick clarification,

I asked about this, and was told MS uses Bing for base map

Do you mean that MS uses OSM for the Bing base map?

Hello again Minh! I’m quite active on the Discord server, and while I’m on the Slack, I’m not nearly as active as I’d like. I’ll be certain to head over there for any local questions though!

I’ll admit that I am far from a professional cartographer at this point, but I’m a little confused by what seem to me to be the contradictory statements of “OpenStreetMap was mentioned a lot” and “OpenStreetMap was NOT mentioned for cartography in ANY presentation in any of the directions at all (well, one presenter said “OSM is getting better”).” In what way was OSM mentioned in this cartography conference, if not for cartography? I’m guessing you’re referring to it being “mentioned just as a data source”? To me, data sources seem to be a very important aspect of cartography; if the underlying data is bad, the aesthetics of the map are more or less irrelevant. Are you saying that you wished that there was more discussion of the cartographic aspects of Carto or other OSM renderers?
