  • Ok you know what, you got me. I can't argue with the part you've quoted above. I suppose it doesn't break any rules on the community.

    But yes, basically I don't like the style or subject to the extent where a simple downvote would just not do and thought I should share my thoughts.

    Does anyone know of a community similar to reddit's /r/museum ?

  • How can I easily map a bus route?
  • This is how I do it with iD and Relatify:

    1. Create all the bus stops in iD (that includes the bus stop sign location, and (importantly!) the bus stopping location on the road)
    2. Create a relation using iD using only the first two or three bus stops.
    3. Use Relatify to finish connecting the rest of the stops.
  • Now you have to pay to see lyrics on spotify
  • Spotify algorithm pushes artists that pay them to push them to you. Get your recommendations via more organic means if you can. That means blogs, real people. Screw the spotify recommendation slop (and I say this as someone who has spotify premium.)

  • How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?
  • The only multiplayer game I really play is Team Fortress 2. I learnt the mechanics over a decade ago and I understand it. My reflexes aren't amazing, but I "get it". I can't be bothered to learn any new multiplayer game mechanics, so when I want to get online and play a shooter I go for TF2.

    Coop games are another matter, but yeah, TF2. My desire to play it comes and goes, but it's always there waiting for me.

  • A decade after a disastrous launch, is Apple Maps finally good?
  • I read this this morning and was raging that they didn't mention OSM at all in it!!

    Wilmott worries that these maps, now dominant, lack information that more traditional maps like Britain’s Ordnance Survey (OS) still have: “An OS map shows you where a stile is for horses; I’m not sure Google Maps even knows what a stile is. When you’re surveying a space, you find that information but geo AI doesn’t have that information. I’m from Australia – you can look at a space where Google Maps might tell you to walk a route through tall long grass, but if you’re from a place you know: there will be snakes in there. Most of this kind of mapping, because it was developed out of urban maps, privileges urban information, not rural information.”

    OSM absolutely knows what a stile is.

  • YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history on
  • Music-wise: Radio stations "oh but the radio sucks" yeah but online radio stations don't. They don't have any ads. Start with NTS 1 and 2 and go from there. Last.fm browsing USER pages. RYM user pages. Online music guides written by real people. Recommendations from friends- real people.

    Video-wise: I honestly don't watch youtubers. Their output and quality isn't up to snuff. No I don't care about speedruns, about "internet rabbit holes" about any of that. About people restoring old gear. About basically anything. So I watch actual TV shows and actual movies, and you guessed it, I get those recommendations from REAL PEOPLE.

    I deleted my original comment cos I felt it was a little negative but somehow that didn't propagate across the fediverse.. weird!
