Well, I might have read the license wrong. If I read again now, I understand it is partially open, quote from their website:

There are 2 important things: OsmAnd uses third-party code only with permissive licenses like (LGPL, MIT, Apache) and OsmAnd code itself copyrighted by OsmAnd BV is distributed under GPLv2 license with the exception of distributing it on Google Play markets without permission. That provides a possibility to build any application for personal usage or build an opensource application under GPLv2 license (cause OsmAnd is not a platform and all the code built on top of the core must also be licensed as GPL).

“Oi, mate! Duh you have a loicence?” - Unfortunately, no official, licenced data on hand. But a great project, indeed! Thanks for the info. Will keep it in mind for the future.

You are correct and incorrect at the same time. It’s a nerdy joke. Please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_ite_domum

Interesting read, too. Thanks! To bad we have to fight about “who came first”, which becomes a “chicken or egg” question in my humble opinion. Instead of just living together and share the space. Like we do in most parts of the world.

;-) Or maybe we have to “give back” the area to the Greek (sea) folks?! But there is always the problem about where to move all the people to …

That’s what I understood. A “shitpost” so to say.

Oh, ok. Sounds bad, sorry for you! - I am not using OneDrive. Neither paid or unpaid.

Right, I am totally aware of that historical bias. Thanks for the reminder anyway!

And I agree with most of your description. - Just making it clear: I am especially not basing my point of view on “the Bible stuff”, but the broader historical information. So, the basic knowledge which is generally accepted by historians holds for me. Hence the reference on Wikipedia. (It’s science. You trust the facts. And the cross-checked information. Until proven otherwise by new discovery.) About the details we can (and have to) discuss.

PS: Your image link is not working.

Sorry, can’t answer this. - But I never use Google Maps or any self-hosted solution, just “OsmAnd” (https://osmand.net/) on my mobile for about a decade. It gives all I need for navigation, thought it’s not FOSS.

Well, I am also a “newbie” for OSM. But for building outline mapping it’s done on OSM editors, not with the StreetComplete app. So not sure if this can be automated. Most work is done manually, I believe. If you check out https://osmlab.github.io/show-me-the-way/ you will see how people are mapping their neighbourhood manually, too! - Yes, such a crazy community this is!

Intrigued by your newer posts, I had to see what your parents said earlier. - Wow, this definitely sound like a hard conspiracy theory! Difficult to believe.

But I want to mention, that if you look up different news outlets (even from Israel itself), that is has been established for months now: The Israeli intelligence/military and a bit later Netanyahu had some knowledge about the upcoming attack.

This is still being investigated. And sure, many details are hard to trust and the actions very doubthful. - I am unsure, if this will ever be cleared to the full extend. Unfortunately.

Well, as far as my history knowledge goes, the term “Palestine” for the region was introduced by the Romans. I thought, that was more well known? - Here, quoting from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)):

Roman authorities renamed the province of Judaea to “Syria Palaestina” in c. 135 CE to punish Jews for the Bar Kokhba Revolt and permanently sever ties between Jews and the province.

Ah, right. The article also states that the term has been used by the greek Herodotus in the 5th century BCE. So it was probably known and used some time before the Roman conquest of the area, I suppose?

So I guess, the statement from your parents seems mostly right. Maybe just framed bad. Unclear why this is a Zionist take, if it’s just the documented history.

Unexpected Monthy Python reference. Nice.

Really? What apps in particular? Asking, because I have not come across “extra payment for unrequested AI” yet.

Pardon? I don’t get your humour here.

Right, there lies the problem. Within StreetComplete you cannot set the POI-stats like that. You only answer questions or enter numbers (stairs, specific hours). So, the App should set this, if you select the drop-down answer “There are no opening hours.” - Does anyone has connections to the developers to claim this “bug”?

Well, that sounds like an app issue. Because this is one of the standard answers when you don’t find opening hours. Sure, it’s no “new” information, but at least you now know from the note that somebody has tried checking this, without success. - Is there a better way, in your opinion?

Usually, in the StreetComplete App, you only add what is missing to one specific object. (As far as I have understood.) If you want to make sure that all parking spots in the neighbourhood are equally set, you have to double-check in the OSM web-editor. (That’s how I do it.)

Right you are! Did not checked when copying the title. But now it’s edited.

Personal addition: You would be surprised, how many details in your area are still missing! And if you want to “increase gamification” or even make it more challenging, you try to catch features while on your commute or lunch break! Or by going out with a group - doing it in "team mode.

Intro/Disclaimer: Quite a few people are discussing consumerism nowadays and wanting a more anti-consumption lifestyle. In all the long discussions, I was missing the little actions that you and I could do to reach this. Because in the end, you and I are the consumer, right? So I made up my mind to collect and post the ideas here. - Feel free to test, use, spread or comment them. (They likely are not unique nor new, but here in one place people would look for it.)
