Yep, sure enough I missed this:

https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

I have no idea to what extent the allegations are justified, but if they are true, then yeah, a fork was necessary.

What sets CoMaps apart is a fully transparent governance approach. All decisions about the app's development are made publicly, with users and contributors having a voice in its future direction. This focus on community engagement aims to deliver value for its users rather than prioritize profit.

Did I miss something? How is Organic Maps possibly "prioritizing profit?"

Update: this is done. The 176 year old law is gone.

Obama is one of the "good guys," not because he opposes Trump, but because he cares about what's legal.

As fun as this is to fantasize about, it would actually be illegal.

It looks like the dart took out about a half dozen lights and a dozen people in about two seconds, so let's say 10 strikes per second. At that rate it would take 10^11 seconds to pop a trillion balloons. That's more than 3000 years!

Of course I did say "make a tiny dent," but even to eliminate 0.1% of the balloons would take the dart 3 years. One trillion is a number that we use a lot, for example talking about the US national debt, but it is not an ordinary number that lends itself to intuitive understanding. Even a billion is hard to grasp intuitively.

All the fighter jets in the world couldn't make a tiny dent in one trillion balloons.

Thanks for the clarification. TIL!

Enrichment means that they bring in some material with some amount of radioactivity, and they separate it into portions with more radioactivity and less radioactivity. At any given time materials with all three levels of radioactivity would be there, and could be released by a bombing.

*Three levels is a gross simplification, of course.

A cute(?) song about fungus, from the fungus' perspective.

I want to go to heaven, but only if I can stay here too. I love the real world much more than any fantasy one.

Sometimes love is hard, and sometimes it's still worth it.

The recent horrible events in New Orleans reminded me of another disaster that happened there 20 years ago. This is a song about that.
