Where I live, there is a random collection of buses, all privately operated, with no route maps, no website, and no head office.

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.

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.)

I reckon if you showed the picture of the giraffe to a human and asked what's wrong with it, many people wouldn't notice anything "off" about its coat.

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.

I think you've mis-tagged that and it should be highway=milestone.

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.

I use Organic Maps for daily use, and OSMAnd for outdoors activities like hiking etc. The added info and features in OSMAnd are indispensable for outdoors use.

I take steps to prevent algorithms from dictating what I listen to and watch. Algorithmically-decided culture feels utterly wrong to me.

I live in a place where under 30% of people own a computer/laptop. Classic Anglocentric worldview in that top level comment.
