This is low-key one of the craziest pieces of recent news to me

Which polls? No the cancelled Gallup ones for sure.

How would you say the OSM editor is better in CoMaps than Osmand?

The dinos are back, but of some species, every generation is smarter than the last, until they actually start speaking. Because they had a super civilisation, and their scientists encoded the key to rebuilding their civilisation in the DNA we found. The next generation becomes smart enough to invent a time machine, and try to manipulate us into going back in time to prevent the comet strike that took them out. Joke’s on them - they were in fact aware of the comet strike, but as we travel back in time together, the human part of the crew sabotage their Armageddon mission and make sure the strike actually happens, to pave the way for mammal domination!

Glad you already learned this is probably nonsense. The wrong reasoning is very similar to much thought about overpopulation. The amount of people that makes for a place to be overpopulated is a function of how societies work and the technologies they have at hand. One extra issue there is that improvements in technology usually lead to population growth, so much progress gets cancelled out.

There’s another free OSM based app that does have some traffic data, it’s called Magic Earth. Not open source though, as their business model is to sell adapted versions.

What does the size of the country have to do with it? Which good big and bad small countries are you talking about?

I think EveryDoor requires some relatively deep understanding of OSM before actually being a useful tool. So edits like this should be rare with that tool. Many of the edits like this are from when MapsMe was very popular and suddenly introduced editing, without enough nuance in the process. Bad edits do happen everywhere, you need a good balance between people who data curation and newbies making beginner mistakes. In some places, there’s a lack of experienced people maintaining the data.

That’s a short but touching poem.

I tip my hat to you

As pointed out above, if you hate plants, you should eat as much meat as possible. Every kilo of meat represents at least ten kilos of plants eaten by the animal.

IIRC, this actually happens. When the balance is disturbed, the mushrooms go wild and destroy young sapplings. Could be I recall incorrectly and it’s actually other species. I cannot recommend The Mother Tree enough, it goes into great detail of the history of research into this

It’s a laughing stock here in Belgium
