I mean, the iD editor has “Local Knowledge” as one of predefined options for changeset sources. This is just that, except… less local. :)

I mean, they didn’t even tell their European allies. This was clearly something they were able to to alone, and for strategic and political reasons, needed to do fully on their own. Kudos to them! 👍

I spent many hours as a kid playing X-Wing.

And it was many hours before I somehow learned that you can actually configure your ship to regenerate both lasers and shields (at the expense of max speed) - until then, I thought I simply have limited ammo, and was frustrated as I was unable to finish a single mission because I always ran out of pew-pew. :)

This could be fun once it’s finished.

Ooh, another one? I hope it will be good.

I am currently playing Kathy Rain 2, and quite enjoying it. Before, I played Elroy And The Aliens and a bit older Unforeseen Incidents - both very good adventure games. Let’s hope the trend continues. :)

I kind of liked the first one, for a few hours. After that, I remember thinking there is no meaningful progression, or motivation to keep playing, and I never returned to it.

I also remember thinking that the mechanics are enjoyable, but they need an actual game on top of them, instead of a tech demo. Hopefully this is that game. :)

Just report for abusive behavior and move on. Just a quick glance at this user’s moderation history should tell you everything you need to know about them. 🙄

Because too big part of the population really is not capable of that.

Ooh, the TotallyNotEU5 game finally gets a release date? :)

And it was probably an Ukrainian tractor, stolen from an Ukrainian farm on occupied territory.

I second this - things that someone might look for - for a simple reason: OSM will always need more people mapping, and if the maps are useful to more people, more people will use it and recommend it to their friends. And a small portion of those users will eventually become mappers. Some of those will even form or join a local mapping community.

So the more useful info there is, more mappers will come, and the feedback loop will take care of the rest. :)

Fair enough, same here.

What’s your opinion on Suunto running watches? They’re on my radar as a Garmin replacement also because they’re from Europe, but from the (very cursory) research I’ve done, they might be more difficult to use without having a Windows system.

It was a joke. Jokes tend to be “a bit of a stretch”. 🙄

Can it, though? :)

My condolences, and welcome!

I would guess the manpower drain of their costly Ukraine war has a larger effect than the sanctions. They are simply running out of people to work on stuff, throughout the country.

So, you turn to vodka. Again.

Nukes. That’s the only reason Russia is still even on the map.

They are supposed to pay it out to families of the soldiers. But they skirt around that by simply not retrieving their dead and wounded from the battlegrounds, and marking the soldiers as unknown/missing, thus deferring the payments indefinitely.

There have been multiple reports of wives/widows trying to find out what happened to their husbands, or at least to collect the money, with the military admin stonewalling them.

Next thing they’ll start rounding up people who wear glasses, like some African dictator a few decades ago.
