Is this stop lit?
Do i select yes, because it, even if unintentionally, is lit or do i choose yes only when the bus stop has its own lights?
StreetComplete: A fun way to contribute to OpenStreetMap
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/22543124
StreetComplete makes contributing to OpenStreetMap easy and fun by turning contributions into "quests" on a map for you to complete. No personal information is required, just create an OpenStreetMap account, and start contributing directly in your area!
I tried this out myself, and it is truly fantastic! I had never heard of it, and I'm sure many of you haven't either, so spread the word!
Tip: When entering buildings to ask questions (opening hours, etc.) be ready to explain what OpenStreetMap is :)
How do i report business/house/establishment if it doesn't exist
Right now I create a note "so and so business operates at this address" but is there better way to do this? [Using Streetcomplete]

My List of Open Source & Privacy Oriented Android Software
I hope that my list of apps will help out people, particularly those new to this world of privacy. These apps fit into the categories that people typically look for or should have and they are all at least fairly recently updated.
Notes
- Required repositories for these apps: F-Droid, DivestOS Official, Guardian Project Official Releases, IzzyOnDroid, Fedilab Apps, FUTO, Molly F-Droid Repo, NewPipe upstream (preferred)
- Simple Mobile Tools has been sold to ZipoApps and thus not worth downloading anymore. FossifyOrg is the "official" fork now and will be releasing their version
