The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence but of the coherence of the story that the mind has managed to construct. -- Daniel Kahneman
Not awesome. :/
The "nosehair" that took out my 🚲 front tyre. Glad to find a repair shop nearby. Found (and fixed) a typo in their name, too.
Thanks to the #OpenStreetMap contributor who added it.
The OSMF board released [0] their response re the issue of Crimea; that in this case, is a special exception to the "on-the-ground" mapping rule used by OSM, which is still in place.

I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's #MapaTime mapping party in Marikina! I found a good excuse to ride the bike (and the train) and meet new people who shares my interest in #OpenStreetMap.
I wrote a short write-up about it: https://www.osm.org/user/GOwin/diary/47558
Looking forward to tomorrow's mapping party, with local #OpenStreetMap enthusiasts. I'm taking a bike, and this is a route generated by the #OpenRouteService .
Come and join us!

thanks to the awesome team behind the Open Infrastructure Orbit the video of my talk about #fdroid, its main features and some of the best #FreeSoftware apps (imho) for #Android (or fork) is now online <3
Shame on #MetroDeal coupon website for using #OpenStreetMap maps without the proper attribution. And to rub that further in your face, clicking on the Location Map link sends you to Google Maps
I don't blame you.

All my favorite OSM sites appear to be unavailable right now: osm.org, maproulette, HOT TM ... 
#maproulette seems to be down right now. :/
Wow! #Jolibee also delivers food on bikes 🚲
Hey #OpenStreetMap folks!! Let's make this an informal survey!
Please run the query around your neighbourhood (zoom out to preserve your privacy) and post a screenshot of the map it produces.
Hey #mastodon ! Is there a way to follow the timelines of a local instance, and not just a particular user?
