sidewalk=no, maxspeed and width should already do a lot

Yes, but actually, no. For a ton of projects, Github is an important resource. It is the main collaboration tool through the issue trackers, offers hosting and continuous integration. If it fell of the earth today, a lot of projects would scramble and have a lot of lost (meta)data.

If they were to announce that they would shut down in three months time, those same projects would scramble as well to migrate - which is also a bit chaotic, but less so.

And: many projects are switching away right now. I moved mapcomplete to a selfhosted forgejo instance since a few months ('cause I don't trust github no more), Organic Maps moved just now cause they got a (temporary) ban. One of their contributors was apperantly from a US-sanctioned country (more info about them here: https://en.osm.town/@organicmaps@fosstodon.org).

The max-boox-pro series had a HDMI-input to have an external eINK-screen and doubled as android laptop. Quite expensive though, and not that useful.

Yeah, the fediverse is amazing. I've had cases where I answered a lemmy thread without even realizing it was on lemmy ;)

Imagery sources are tracked here: https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index

We track how to load the aerial imagery (thus: the WMS-link), what license it has and where it is applicable. Only aerial imagery where we have permission for is allowed.

NOT all ESRI imagery can be used. Their maps are probably copyrighted; and a background satellite view seen in an ESRI-product (which your municipality happens to use) is not necessarily cleared for usage, even though it happens to be shown in an ESRI prodcuct...

You're all welcome in !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml to discuss antying OSM-related.

The namechange of the Gulf has been discussed on our forum; how to deal with this has been decided in consensus.

And, obligated self-promo: if you want to start contributing to OSM, you can try https://mapcomplete.org/ (which is someting else then the StreetComplete app, but that one is nice too!)

TBH, I assisted with some linux installs and setting up a dual boot was troublesome. Installing a clean install worked easier!

If you have an old, spare laptop around, I recommend trying linux first with that laptop before making the plunge.
