  • People think that govt developed = bad. It’s a consideration for sure but if anything govt developed is so hopelessly and inherently compromised then many of the measures discussed here are useless for privacy already because they almost all run through internet, a govt created system. Even TOR. But yet here we are anyway because they are still useful systems.

    Governments pour tons of time money and effort into secure communication, and not for profit, and we can still take advantage of that advancement with some caution.





  • In my experience StreetComplete is almost real time. As soon as you close the app it adds all of your changes I think. I’ve never tried it in Organic Maps but I imagine it’s similar

    Usually your edits will go straight to the map! There are people that work on tools and foundations of the map data but when it comes to the data itself WE are the OSM team!

    Recommended changes are done via map notes. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you can turn them on on openstreetmap.org to see what I mean

    I work with a K9 search and rescue team now and then. The team is very good at going deep into the woods looking for missing and/or dead people on scent trails that are sometimes over 24h old.

    One of the ladies used a black tactical rig full of pouches. But instead of gun stuff it held gps devices, dog treats, toys, water, collapsible bowls and a dozen other things for her and her dog.

    So we geeked out for like five minutes over how useful it was. It’s a Condor Ronin Rig if anyone is curious
