I had to get this underpass off of the roof of city hall before the mayor saw it https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/5050 .

Mapping Indianola, Iowa 2

Great job, but what about the address grids. Alas, OSM currently has no way to map them…

A more inclusive mapping party setup, for same-day imagery collection and mapathons.

Perhaps mention what area those pictures are of.

You thought OpenStreetMap data uses the WGS84 datum? No it doesn't!

International boundary turning points in rivers are a case of important points that belong on the map, but with no physical representation, only coordinates… “so those coordinates better be good”…

GitHub's backward blocking causes conflict aggravation

How do you know there are more blocking me than blocking you?

But that’s beside the point.

Don’t you think there is maybe something wrong with being able to turn off other people’s notifications?

Isn’t there any security problems with that model?

If you had a choice, would you choose to 1) only turn off notifications to you of other people’s boring activities?

Or, 2) turn off their notifications of your activities, so you could do things behind their back, even though the things you do are certainly good, and they are certainly a bad person, so has no right to know.

And OK, 1) and 2) are linked to the same function, so it is hard to do 1) without also doing 2), so that makes it morally OK?
