A small Belgian NGO has collected data about bicycle parkings, but they now want to import their bicycle parking data into #OpenStreetMap
Care to help a bit? It is a big game of geo-sleuthing ;)
It can be done by:
1. Open mapcomplete.org/velopark
2. Search a yellow icon - it is a bicycle parking to import
3. Figure out if it still exists and where exactly it is located
4. Link or create a new bicycle parking
5. Update attributes
Rinse and repeat! Happy mapping and thanks for helping!
God this is fucking incredible. Please take my word for it and read
Speech to Text on Linux?!?!
I just found "Speech Note" when searching the Software app.
Installed it via flatpak.

Used the "English (Vosk Large)" and "English (Vosk Small)" language model with very decent results. There are loads of models to choose from.
All processed locally. No network needed!
This is great!

I find it really interesting that the Camera Control button is deeply and inextricably linked with the AVCapture system. I wasn't sure if non-camera apps could use it for alternative navigation or interactions but as far as I can tell they can't. It is 100% for cameras and even there for use _during_ the capture session and not any other non-realtime camera app uses.

FWIW, the UI of the snipping tool is quite confusing with a screen reader, at least with NVDA.
What would be great is something like the UI for starting screen sharing in Zoom, with the application windows being list items you can select, and the options to capture system audio and mix in narration from the microphone.

I just signed this petition from the #InternetArchive (@internetarchive) and hope you will too.

Background from IA:
"We are disappointed in todayβs opinion about the Internet Archiveβs digital lending of books that are available electronically elsewhere. We are reviewing the courtβs opinion and will continue to defend the rights of #libraries to own, lend, and preserve books."

Update. I recommend @mmasnick's good take on the ruling against the @internetarchive and #CDL.
techdirt.com/2024/09/05/secondβ¦
"What would you think if an author told you they would have written a book, but they wouldnβt bother because it would be available to be borrowed for free from a library? Youβd probably think they were delusional. Yet that argument has now carried the day."
Update. "[University] #libraries across the country, from Carnegie Mellonβ¦to the U of California system, turned to whatβs known as [#ControlledDigitalLending, #CDL] in 2020, which gave students a way to borrow books that werenβt otherwise available. Those programs are small in scale and largely experimental but part of a broader shift in modernizing the university library. But the appeals court ruling could upend those programs."

in reply to InsertUser • • •@InsertUser In the best case, yes! However; that is very hard to do. In practice, I usually inspect current aerial imagery, check old imagery if the area has changed and have a look to mapillary. That is often enough to figure out what the current situation is.
And I sometimes had cases where someone actually added a picture with mapcomplete before :)
