It should be (according to the video) but maybe sometimes you get an all bad set?

I didn't make this I just wanted to share here before I add it to my weekly urbanism roundup newsletter https://urbanismnow.com/

How active is Bluesky for your interests? Seems to be losing a bit of traction lately in c/bluesky@lemm.ee
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty interested in urbanism and I think the mass exit from X to Bluesky has held pretty strong. Almost all the big people in the field are on Bluesky and get quite a bit of engagement. I also started https://urbanismnow.com/ recently and have pretty good engagement on Bluesky and Mstdn so I'm happy with it.

What’s the point of solidarity, anyhow? (popula.com)
 

I didn't know a better community to post it but I liked the way the author talks about solidarity for social movements in general.

Hey folks,

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm starting an urbanism newsletter with links to content from around the world to inspire local change. It's a bit of self promotion but I think it's quite relevant to the community here.

If you have any articles (especially outside the US/Euro realm) you think are worth sharing please let me know! Also, would love if there are any short story fiction writings that you can recommend that are related.

Thanks!

What to use instead of gmail? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

If you really wanna get started with your own domain I highly recommend just getting https://purelymail.com/ setup for the hosting provider. It's going to be way cheaper than just about anything and you pay for what you use. I've been on it for a few years and never had a problem.

Rapid editor v2.5 released with advanced pedestrian mapping and more! in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe it's just that my computer is slow but it seems much faster for scrolling around the map.

I generally only map in places where I am or have been but I definitely would be careful about using it in places with bad imagery.

AI stuff aside, the tool is so so much faster than iD it's kinda crazy.

Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What solution would you propose? I assume the main problem is that it supposedly limits Wikipedia's ability to ban people that would otherwise just make another account? Maybe they could limit VPN editing to accounts with 500 edits or whatever.

In any case now seems like a great time to prod them to reconsider this policy.

Thanks for sharing your script. I added a link to your comment at the end of the post 👍 I gotta learn JSOM one day.

Every Door 4.0 is released with improved GPS and Mapbox Imagery! in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I know the author wants to move to vector maps which could make it much easier for someone to selfhost something like that.

Might be worth mentioning your feedback on related issues (or creating them). The dev has been very responsive to feedback in the past.

What's wrong with android? I have bitwarden setup any basically any time I tap a password field it offers me to fill in from my vault.

RIP Nova Launcher in c/androidapps@lemmy.ml
[–] ray@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Same... Though with the latest Android it's been so buggy I gave Smart Launcher a try for the past few months and have mostly been happy with it. It's annoying that I can't easily have 3 screens with one in the center being the start but I got over it.
