They're good games but I wouldn't get my hope up too much as per political messages. They have their moments but it is also just a lot of "this beer is called piss"

Chrome (2003) is sort of like if Far Cry, Deus Ex and Shadow of Chernobyl had a baby. I've never seen it mentioned anywhere.

I have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I'm rope guy I guess

The hard part about a simple bicycle isn't actually the bicycle, it's smooth road. If you don't have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one's not even a 100 years old.

Yeah it is but that's not what I was getting at. You can try to explain things to people in the most basic way, say that a server talking to another server is like sending a letter. Latter concept is something everybody including literal children is conceptually familiar with. You do not need to know how the post sorts their shit, or distributes it or even how to properly adress a letter to understand how this works.

Except replace "letter" with "e-mail" and "institution or person" with "server" and people will act like this is impossible to attain knowledge requiring years of study. And I don't mean in the abstract, I mean in the literal sense I have tried to use that specific analogy to explain how 2 servers talk, with no more depth than that, and it regularly fails

I don't think this is as much as specialized knowledge issue as it is that normal people are frightingly technologically illiterate considering how much is computers. I mean this is not a hard concept to grasp at laymans architectural level

They pay for OSM Data because they're making profits off of it you mean

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Regular OSM doesn't have elevation data as well as many other info that mapy does provide.

I'm not blaming you but whose fault is that? Add that shit to OSM! Don't work for the assholes coasting off of FOSS labour of other people, subvert them!
