Huge supporter of federated social networks, FOSS etc. Got some visibility through my blogpost on beating Fb w/federation. Green Party! Hi Identi.can folks!
Is there a name for the train equivalent of the Mile high club yet? If not I need some ideas for what it should be!
Vote on EU copyright directive (including #Article13) is tomorrow! Please call your MEP today and tell them to vote against the changes.
@rysiek met MEPs in real life, here are tips:
-Calling MEPs is way more effective than e-mailing them.
-If you can, please *call* your MEPs. Find your MEP here: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html
-If you'd rather e-mail, write 2-3 paragraphs in own words, from your e-mail address. Even if it's not as slick as the template, it will work way better!

THIS IS IT! My company is finally switching from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap!
This is challenging: we need maps, but also Geocoding and reverse, Directions, addresses autocomplete… https://switch2osm.org lists some libs, but I’d love to hear from real devs. Do you have resources and tips to share? Feedback on how to configure the different libs? E.g. nominatim often doesn’t find addresses, but I’m sure it can be tweaked.

If only everyone where as good at giving compliments as the comment spammers on my blog…
If you use 500px you need to tell them you <3 @creativecommons right now:
500px will no longer allow photographers to license their photos under Creative Commons
"A 500px spokesperson told The Verge that they could change course in the future, based on what their user’s response is like, saying that “there may be an opportunity to integrate Creative Commons back into our platform in the future.”" https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/1/17521456/500px-marketplace-creative-commons-getty-images-visual-china-group-photography-open-access

Hi #creativetoot and #webdesign people!
A friend is trying to help his friend who has made a tabletop game that she wants to share for free. It's a great initiative that deserves a good website, and they're looking for someone to help them design one. There's no money involved, but if you have any tips or are able to help, @ me or @forteller 🌞
Boosts appreciated!

After a few hours with the Temporary Containers addon, I can reveal that this addon is *awesome*. It's just what the Containers system needed - I was already using an "Untrusted" container, but this is much better. Go use it!
