It is the abbreviation of OpenStreetMap.org, a crowdsourced map of the world. You've 100% sure already used the data of the project, in the form of Organic Maps, OsmAnd, the maps on Facebook, instagram en Whatsapp or Pokemon Go.

Also checkout !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

There will never be 'more momentum' if you don't build it. Just kick it off and host this person, others will follow.

I use maps for navigation (mostly OsmAnd) and improve OpenStreetMap with my self-made website (https://mapcomplete.org)

Correct. Naming of ubuntu is always . of release. The LTS'es are supported for four years, so when 24.04 is released, the 20.04 will be EOL

!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml - but that's also because I helped to get it going during the first reddit-waves ;)

Well, in a way, they do provide accurate geolocalisation for indoor environments based on wifi networks. And it is right that having internet/bluethooth access also (more or less) reveals your location; but that doesn't make it ethical.

You forgot "Use AI"

Yes. I'm mostly developing a website, and testing on another browser is necessary every now and then. But that is my only use reason.

My main browser used to be firefox till tw9 weeks qgo, but it started to be buggy so it's LibreWolf now.
