I just love the level of detail that #openstreetmap can get compared to commercial maps like #googlemaps.

Here is a side by side comparison of McMurdo Station, Antartica.
Screenshot of Open Street Map centered on McMurdo Station. We can see buildings, small roads, foot paths, stairs, ramps, barriers, parkings and different area use. Screenshot of Google Maps centered on McMurdo Station. We see a few main roads and a few landmarks being identified by a marker.

There's literally more than 100 #meshtastic nodes around #barcelona.

Dead squirrel on a rock. The squirrel is in an almost perfect circle shape. The light brown color is almost the same color as the rock behind.

I'm sure other people have noted this but at some point we went from talking about "social network sites" to talking about "social media sites".

At first, the network was the thing that mattered. Then, the media was the thing that mattered.

A quick Google Trends query shows the shift might […]

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […]

The three button navigation from #androidos is working so badly with some of the apps I'm using, I decided to move to gesture based navigation. I don't know if it's a plot by #google to remove the 3-button nav in the future or just app devs not testing their stuff in all configurations.

#til Duplo pieces are exactly the double in size as Lego pieces. And that's why they're called Duplo. Double, Duplo. Get it? Blew my mind.

I knew they were compatible. I'd never test this before today. I'm amazed they managed to make this work. Wonderful system this is.

Yes, it's a screenshot of a Reddit post of a screenshot of a Tumblr post, but it's still a good point.
R T : We are in a fever dream T T Aug 2 We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when | say this situation is "interesting”, what | in fact mean Is that it's "nightmarish and | wish | could wake up”
