Looking for vegan places and not a fan of proprietary datasets? #MapComplete has several themes to find (and edit) vegan places, based on #OpenStreetMap data!
The “restaurants and fast food” theme will show most places you might be interested in. If you love fries (like I do), “fries shops” will be helpful for you. And in the “gluten free” and “lactose free” themes, you can filter for vegan places too!
You can also easily edit these places with MapComplete, for example to add details or update incorrect or outdated information. Your changes will be uploaded to OpenStreetMap, which is freely reusable data!
MapComplete - editable, thematic maps with OpenStreetMap
MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.mapcomplete.org

with the holiday season coming up for many of us, a modest suggestion:
if your holiday traditions are bringing misery instead of joy, get new ones.
if the holiday traditions feel like onerous obligations; if you face them with dread instead of anticipation; if they remind you of traumatic occasions instead of joyous ones, then they are no longer fit for purpose.
you can change them, put them on hold, or jettison them altogether. ❤️
Here's an interesting article about how someone did not find solace in Buddhism. Feel free to express your opinion in a reply. slate.com/culture/2003/02/why-…
I personally think that there are some common misconceptions that might have influenced the author's views, e.g. the way he understands the definition of attachment, enlightenment, views on reality, but it's always so interesting to see differing opinions.
Why I ditched Buddhism.
For a 2,500-year-old religion, Buddhism seems remarkably compatible with our scientifically oriented culture, which may explain its surging popularity...John Horgan (Slate)

I just had the same thought, didn't want to influence anyone's reading though.
I think he is looking for something that science can prove to be right, the same way it proved that humans technically have two brains which the Chinese knew for thousands of years through martial arts, the Tao, etc. Also categorising Buddhism as a religion while it's really not.
Matching dinosaur footprints in Cameroon and Brazil record a time when Africa and South America were still connected & herds could wander between them.
I'm not saying the very same dinosaur was stomping around in both Cameroon and Brazil...but it's possible.

With our #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc efforts we put all intelligence on the end devices, and architecutally separate it from a transport layer that routes safely and fast but knows nothing.
There are a dozen or more #chatmail servers across many jurisdictions, all safely interopable with each other and classic servers.
Turned out we can dumb down email servers by relying on cryptography instead of IP reputation and ai/spam filtering. And have 200ms delivery times. We are not done :)

In case you missed it, Apple has been using age limits to unfairly discriminate against third party browsers:
A collaborator found out that the US State Dept is seeking public input on whether "satellite signature reduction" should be subject to ITAR regs.
Translation: should satellite operators who make their satellites fainter (in order to not destroy the night sky quite as much) be allowed to talk about how they did it?
So some of my collaborators and I put together a quick and easy template for you to email the US State Dept and tell them this shouldn't be secret info:
