I can't find the community forum thread where I originally learned about it, but here's a BBC article discussing the downstream fallout for apps that use OSM data.

Reminds me of this asshole who vandalized openstreetmap a while back to "point out a security flaw"

By changing the names of a bunch of prominent buildings to racist terms

No, and even worse "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean"

Yes. I'm a near surface geophysicist. So I don't look for oil or minerals but I do try to figure out what's going on underground without digging. Mostly looking for mine or karst voids under new construction.

I'm not from Canada, but because I have the natural human instinct to help people

I have the same reaction to nonplussed

Oh shit potential open source factorio projects at some point in a few years

Same boat here. I'm not a vegan (pescatarian) but it seems to me people are reacting (understandably) emotionally because everyone loves pets and wants the best for them.

I should definitely check out the varied cotton or linen weaves, then! I mainly wear a very light button down polyester for field work because of the benefits I mentioned and durability. I do a good bit of walking through thick brush and it's nice that it doesn't "pull" too much.

As someone who sweats a lot and works outside in brutal heat, I find the complete opposite is true regarding cotton vs polyester. Polyester wicks away the sweat and evaporates quickly, while cotton just soaks and turns hot, wet, and heavy.

I wish it were the opposite so that I could use less plastic overall, but I haven't found that to be the case.

Either way, a loose fit and complete skin coverage from the sun is essential.
