Hero. There's only one gas station I use that has ads and I'll try it there for sure. I deliberately avoid screened pumps.
I think one of Biden's big missteps was to ban sales to China in the first place.
In the 6 years I've been with Firefox on Linux on my 9-year-old laptop, I could count on both hands the number of sites that didn't render correctly, and on one hand the number that didn't run or weren't performant.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I definitely feel for folks who are stuck with Chrome and all those ads.
This is how you know "pro-states rights" conservatives are lying to you.
They're working hard to make sure piracy provides the best experience.
As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.
Also no on renaming New Mexico.
We need a competitor badly.
If my ISP starts throttling my traffic, I'll just switch to one of the zero other providers in my area.
I'm on the "OK but keep an eye on it" train, here.
Devs need feedback to know how people are using the product, and opt-out tracking is the best way to do it. In this case, it seems like my personal data is completely unidentifiable.
I was coding in the IE6 era, so I'd really prefer to not end up in a browser engine monoculture again.

I've been editing OSM for years. (896,339 edits in 3,427 changesets, apparently!) For me, it's all about the free data. I once got a thank you note from someone who worked for a city with a particularly large municipal park. I'd added almost all the trails to the park and other information, and they'd used it to produce a printed map for the general public. Exactly the kind of thing I'd hoped for!
Personally, I do a lot of dualsport motorcycling and most backcountry maps around here are subpar. I map tons of trails and 2track and put them on the Garmin so I know where I'm going.
OSM is also great in lots of Europe--tons of detail.
JOSM is great.
Someone just recommended Organic Maps for the phone--it's way snappier than Google Maps, but still not great with finding addresses.
Keep the donations coming. IA is worth a million times more to humanity than all of these publishers combined.
