Yeah, but there is no button to remove all of them at once. And the next time you'll visit the site, they'll just get installed again - so I don't think it is very useful to delete them.

This is a browser feature called 'service workers' which indeed allows websites to keep a process running for e.g. notifications.and pending updates.

Can be highly annoying. Visit ‘about:serviceworkers‘ to see the installed ones.

☺️

Thank you for the compliment!

I'm quite curious for your custom map, would you mind sharing it here?

[–] pietervdvn@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Then, please, add this single place :)

You might make the difference for someone else

It is not 'by OSM'. The foundation is not involved at all, neither are members of the community.

This is big corpos who put together their data, and they have to include OSM because it is so great.... which also means they have to open up this data due to our ODBL license!

And yes, we can thus absorb this data back into OSM, but it is not worth it

Yeah, and Wikipedia, linux,... have become important as well, without big corpo

WHAT? HOW DARE YOU INSULT OPENSTREETMAP, THE MOST USED DIGITAL MAP!

(In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised that OSM is actually used the most, especially because it creeps into many other maps. But of course, this usage is spread over many apps and not a single ~~advertising~~ map product, where GMaps is undoubtly the biggest one)

Hi!

I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be (and also one of the modsof this subcommunity). I have a long train journey ahead of me today (and next week again).The ideal moment to answer questions from other OSM-contributors.

So, shoot!

 

HI all,

Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.

You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread

At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started...

 

Hi!

OpenStreetMap is a map that anyone can edit and anyone can freely reuse. It has a huge ecosystem, and can thus be a bit confusing to edit or to work with.

I thought that having a weekly thread to ask all beginner questions would be nice for everyone interested, so - go for it!

If you know the answer to a question, please answer (so that I don't have to answer everything).

 

Hi,

I'm very active within OpenStreetMap. As many refugees from Reddit, I'm taking shelter here and found the OSM-community.

Hover, there is only one moderator there, which seems to be inactive for >3 years. Is there a process to make me moderator of that community? I'll make sure to create a moderation team there as well.
