Yes, seeing the trace geometry only with no map is a letdown. That's why I suggested the visualizer in another comment.

OSM doesn't produce any hardware. They are a wiki-based world mapping effort. In addition, they run a PNG tile provider (so you can embed their map on a website), an article wiki for how to edit the map etc. and the trace repository.

You can use OSM and record traces using various apps mentioned on their wiki.

Come to think of it, OSM traces include timestamps and elevation for each recorded point, plus maybe other data from the uploaded GPX file. Maybe someone will create a Strava-style visualizer that serves HTML, SVGs or PNGs from trace IDs with a map, speed and elevation profile for easy sharing. Imagine your trace is https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/hagu/traces/11959920 and you change openstreetmap.org with perhaps openstreetmap-traceview.org and get a nice sharable overview that also has a PNG for preview on socials. Maybe even a page with a list of activities by user including kilometer stats by month, mode of transport etc.

That's the neat part, there isn't. Post about your trips where you want, you can then refer to the OSM trace.

People have given consent for you to improve OSM with that data though. For example, one GPS trace can be pretty inaccurate (especially under a canopy where aerial imagery also doesn't work) but you can compile a dozen and get a very good average. You can message people about those edits, and add notes.

Also, StreetComplete gives you achievements for completing quests and uploading traces. They are automated but it makes it look like actual people are grateful. Of course most people who use OSM will never actually thank the contributors but you're still doing a great service by improving the map around you.

There is a great community effort at https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces

You can directly upload there with StreetComplete or Vespucci. Or exports from any tracking app that gives you a GPX file (including Strava I think). Otherwise, don't really expect FOSS-minded people to share their trips.

We don't have <480p screens on phones anymore

Take this and rotate

Well, the following PM Petr Fiala, much like Biden, inherited a COVID-wrecked economy and did a great recovery. Still, the recession became associated with him and we are still expecting ANO to be the strongest party and Fiala's fragile multicolor coalition may break apart... He is both pro-Ukraine and pro-Israel - the former is in agreement to the general population, while people are mostly indifferent for the latter (all Czech administrations have been quite pro-Israel though, supporting trade and speaking for it internationally). Babiš voters are not entirely pro-Russia (that would be half-Japanese Tomio Okamura's nationalistic SPD party - no relation to the German SPD) but they are condemning Fiala's unwavering support while Trump "did the bold move and asked for minerals in an art of the deal". Babiš is really like Trump but more competent - he bought media empires and doesn't change his plans on a whim. Still, his views are idiotic: he proposed to end licence-based funding for our public TV "because many TV owners may prefer other channels and this is taxing them too", suggesting it could be funded from the country's budget (which would make non-TV-owners pay too). It's stupid but it's a calculated move: his voter base watches TV but mostly non-public.

I think this is going to hurt the White House in the long run. By smearing these people individually, they are highlighting the fact that they are actual humans with life stories, rather than a swarm invading the country.

Imgur stands for image URL: they would let you upload images and provide you with a direct URL. The enshittification with all that JS and push for on-site social networking came after New Reddit and i.redd.it.

I think New Reddit provides the Imgur URL and RES uses it to generate a preview in Old Reddit.

Anyway, should Fediverse platform/app devs spend time trying to accomodate specific shitty platforms?

Thanks for a reasonable view. The only way I can see this settled is checking the source. The earliest and highest-quality posting of this image is this Facebook post by Neurodivergentgeekgirl. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't see all comments under that posts nor her posting history that could give hints.

I explained it in another comment. This was a simplification that's true for i.redd.it and v.redd.it (which block embeds with CORS), the native web UI doesn't do iframe embeds for privacy reasons.

Also, the default (and the most frequent) way people get an image URL out of Imgur is the album URL even for single images. You'd need to contact Imgur to query the number of images and their URLs to enable the kind of embeds you're looking for. AFAIK, Reddit does that but it probably costs them money for an API key.

Liberté means "liberty" and securité means "security". /s

Liberty is one of the three pillars of the French model for democracy, as indicated by the French Revolution cap. Security is used to enforce and protect it but security mechanisms such as secret agencies can outgrow the system they're supposed to serve and harm liberty with censorship etc.

What frontend are you using? Surely not the default web interface or Voyager!

I simplified it a bit. Imgur and Reddit block embeds with CORS or something so you do need a deal.

For YouTube, you need to get a special embed URL, like https://youtube.com/embed/videoIDhere (or with the domain youtube-nocookie.com if you're cool). That's easy to generate but if your site includes embedded YouTube videos it also means visitors agree to their ToS, and Lemmy devs don't want that. Believing in net neutrality, they would need to enable ALL iframe embeds from ALL websites, which could easily get messy with tracking and whatnot.

Video posts totally work on Lemmy. However, the video must be on the "free and open internet". Allow me to explain.

Lemmy, like Reddit, only allows for text posts and link posts. You can make "media posts" because most instances will allow media upload via a pict-rs server running on a subdomain, seamlessly creating a link post when you do.

However, this only applies to media you can obtain a direct link to. Other than instance-specific* pict-rs, the only major public sites that allow direct URL hosting are Catbox and GitHub. We don't have deals with major video hosting sites like YouTube, TikTok, v.redd.it, imgur etc. to embed videos when someone posts a link to the website the video is hosted on. Therefore, any link posts will have to be opened as an external website, which is very annoying indeed, especially for the aforementioned JS-heavy sites (unless the other user has an alternative frontend app such as Piped or NewPipe set up).

Instance shenanigans: Some instances impose a very small size limit to uploads or only allow a certain time after account creation (both for lemm.ee for instance). You won't usually see admins sharing what restrictions they put in place, but we can get a good guess from the defaults (error 502 currently, see archive). These defaults remain unchanged by many instance admins and the TL;DR is:

Applies to any media

• 10 MiB limit

Static pictures

• 10000x10000 or 40 MP
• all major formats (webp, jpg, png, jxl)

Animated pictures (colloquially known as gifs)

• 1920x1920 or 2.08 MP
• all major formats (webp (recommended), apng, gif, avif)

Videos

• 3840x3840
• 900 frames (that's like 30-40 seconds but you can get longer with something like a VFR slideshow)
• no sound, I think
• all major formats supported but unless it's VP9 in a WebM container, it will be transcoded by the server and the timeout of the ffmpeg operation is like 15 seconds! This means that it's practically impossible to upload any but the shortest videos unless they're VP9 in WebM already!

You can see that video upload is very limiting! If you're tech-savvy you can get a lot out of the 10 MiB and 900 frames but you need some ffmpeg skills. Therefore, your best bet is uploading to catbox.moe or GitHub, obtaining a direct link to the file and pasting it as a link post URL. Or just paste the YouTube, TikTok, v.redd.it, imgur etc. URL and deal with the fact people will have to open the heavy website (or their alt-frontend app like NewPipe).

I've seen a lot of handwritten text and this is certainly within the range of handwriting styles, including the (in)consistencies.

I'm not willing to judge either way from the look alone but AFAIK this was drawn (or generated) by Neurodivergentgeekgirl on Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't check what her creation history or attitude to AI is, which could give it away.

I would too if it didn't tax-exempt Elon.

I'm gonna need a source on that

Clear cookies to log you out? The account is as good as banned, anyway (can't access via your IP cuz that's banned, can't access it via another IP cuz you said that would get it banned). Back up your data using tools like bdfr and GTFO. You can also use shreddit to both archive and overwrite your posts and comments (perhaps with links to your Lemmy account, as I did - I give people any of my deleted Reddit content they ask for here).

But how about another, non-VPN IP? Check your IP and try unplugging your modem for a few minutes, this could make your IP lease expire and the ISP issue a new one.
