Organic Maps is better for "normal" users if you ask me. Osmand is better for pro users but quite clunky.

I live in Peru.

I pay 10 PEN ($2.70) and get:

  • 10 GB data (plus calls and SMS) only valid for 7 days. This is "free" and does not discount my credit.
  • Once the 10 GB are up I pay 5 PEN for 24 h of UNLIMITED GB (Yes, I can tether too!)
  • Once the 24h are up I do this again with the remaining 5 PEN
  • Therefore on weekends I get unlimited internet.
  • My speed is around 18 Mbps (2.25 MBps)
  • I do not pay for home internet and simply tether to my laptop.

So it all works out at paying around $10 a month for unlimited internet (as long as I download the big things on weekends!)

The only multiplayer game I really play is Team Fortress 2. I learnt the mechanics over a decade ago and I understand it. My reflexes aren't amazing, but I "get it". I can't be bothered to learn any new multiplayer game mechanics, so when I want to get online and play a shooter I go for TF2.

Coop games are another matter, but yeah, TF2. My desire to play it comes and goes, but it's always there waiting for me.

I read this this morning and was raging that they didn't mention OSM at all in it!!

Wilmott worries that these maps, now dominant, lack information that more traditional maps like Britain’s Ordnance Survey (OS) still have: “An OS map shows you where a stile is for horses; I’m not sure Google Maps even knows what a stile is. When you’re surveying a space, you find that information but geo AI doesn’t have that information. I’m from Australia – you can look at a space where Google Maps might tell you to walk a route through tall long grass, but if you’re from a place you know: there will be snakes in there. Most of this kind of mapping, because it was developed out of urban maps, privileges urban information, not rural information.”

OSM absolutely knows what a stile is.

I take steps to prevent algorithms from dictating what I listen to and watch. Algorithmically-decided culture feels utterly wrong to me.

I live in a place where under 30% of people own a computer/laptop. Classic Anglocentric worldview in that top level comment.

I've been getting into a recipe book lately that regularly suggests using the zest of a lemon/lime as well as just the juice. I can't believe I used to throw it away! It adds a slight bitter counterbalance as well as some nice floral notes to whatever I'm preparing.

Well I live in an area with little to no previous mapping and I'm practically the only person doing the area. It's good and bad at the same time! I can go for an extended survey and either literally put hamlets on the map, or go to towns with streets drawn in but no POIs. Or pore over satellite imagery and draw landuse in.. or paths... or lakes.... Neverending fun. I tell my friends it's like doing a geo-sudoku.
