Nearly every time I go away, I do something to change my #OpenStreetMap password or credentials. And forget to update the apps on my phone. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ Which makes mapping on the go hard....
Password reset ahoy
There's plenty of think pieces pondering that maybe women/etc just have Lady Brains that can't do tech. Has anyone written about how cishet male brains are just unable to understand discrimination? Maybe they are biologically just not cut out for understanding bigotry?
That feeling when you want to use the new ProxyJump command in #ssh but you're using ubuntu 16.04 xenial and it doesn't have that version of ssh. ๐
For those wondering, there's a new quarterly mapping project in #OpenStreetMap to map things that are traditionally under mapped in #OSM, or that help marginalized people. "free WiFi" could be an option

I wonder... Would mapping in #OpenStreetMap what restautants/cafes/libraries/etc have free WiFi help #disadvantaged people? If you can't afford/get Internet at home, then you'd use public WiFi, right? So adding that detail to #OSM would help people?

I am watching #cricket and someone is trying to explain the rules to me, and to quote President Bartlett, I like to think I'm a clever person, but whenever someone tries to explain cricket to me, I feel stupider.
Got caught by an #AppleMaps streetview car. Flagged them down to complain. They were useless and wouldn't give me any details.

Is there any #IPFS mirror of Project #Gutenberg? That would get around country blocking, and keep with the "sharing of books" lark.
That explainer from Project #Gutenberg is a little snarky with "We don't have to obey German law!". Considering how often the USA enforces it's laws abroad, it's a little rich to act like the rest of the world doesn't count.
Oh bleh. Project #Gutenberg is blocked in #Germany over a copyright/public domain dispute. ๐

Does anyone have any resources on the dangers of #OpenData / #OpenMapping in terms of threats/risks to human rights. Specifically #indigenous peoples, land rights, data extractivsm? Asking for someone else.

RT @kurtiskemple@twitter.com: I would love for the term "soft skills" to die in a fire ๐ฅ
If you don't have good social skills it's a serious problem.
Most #development jobs require you to not only work closely with a team, but also with other teams. None of which give a ๐ฉ if you're a "rockstar" developer.
