Any good way to view the replies to a Mastodon/Fediverse post as hierachial tree of replies? Default mastodon web view is one linear list...

Does @feditips know?

@trunksapp is the only Mastodon client I've seen that does this.

@kalanggam salamat! Cebuano Wikipedia has a very bad reputation among Wikipedians because of all the bot-created articles so you adding a non-bot article is good! 👍

Here's a thread on how I'm #mapping county-level survey data for a country using #qgis and #openstreetmap. The country is #Ecuador, where the equivalent of US counties are cantons.

The survey data has columns for province and cantons. QGIS has the ability to "join" a CSV with map data, but it seems it only supports one column. So on the survey data side, I need to make "$canton, $province" into a single column.

I finished adding all 27 barangays of the municipality of General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite, #Philippines 🇵🇭 into #Wikidata, mapping their boundary relations in #OpenStreetMap, and linking the two datasets with each other.

Wanna play around? Here is the Overpass Turbo query: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1xow

And here is the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) query: https://w.wiki/73Kn

I have an Android phone and a Windows computer, and this app made sharing stuff between the 2, much easier.

Arguably the best thing that happened since lumpiang shanghai.

Very good news. Do we know if there is already a project in place to crowdsource the OSM import? Can Maproulette do this ?

@johanmorganti This could easily be another importable layer in RapiD, similar to the Microsoft buildings.

If you are a software developer or a product manager, a UI/UX designer, or a musician or composer, then this vlog about the 2-year-plus development of #MuseScore 4, a popular open source musical notation application, is very insightful and informative.

It feels really weird that in the past week, local news about unprecedented flash floods due to torrential rains have filtered through my newsfeeds from various places like Zaragoza, #Spain 🇪🇦; Kyushu, #Japan 🇯🇵; and Vermont, #USA 🇺🇸.

Screenshot from a video from The Telegram via NHK showing a flooded city in Japan with the blurb "Dozens of people have been killed after days of heavy rain and..."

    @fiee I suppose you've already looked at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SVG ?

    I think Maperitive is the best tool for now. So yeah, OSM-to-SVG tooling is currently lacking. I'm hoping that with the push to vector tiles, an extension SVG export tool/feature would also be developed.

    For today’s #MappyMondays, I’m trying something I have never done before: constructing WKT literals using the #Wikidata Query Service (#WDQS) in order to draw linestrings on a map!

    So last week I added all of the routes flown by Air New Zealand and Air Chathams into Wikidata and now I get to see these airlines’ route maps using WDQS.

    (Maps are based on #OpenStreetMap; © OSM contributors.)

    If you want to play around with the WDQS queries I used to generate the maps in the previous post, here they are:

    1. Air New Zealand: https://w.wiki/6$Us
    2. Air New Zealand (domestic): https://w.wiki/6$Ut
    3. Air Chathams: https://w.wiki/6$Uw

    Based on this figure from this new academic paper, it would seem that #Manila, #Philippines is the most populous well-mapped (> 80% "complete") city in the world in #OpenStreetMap in terms of buildings. And we did it without relying on imports!

    @amapanda according to the map, Dublin is already well-mapped. 👍 Can't see a circle for Belfast though.

    @SomeoneElse I think the presence vs. the non-presence of buildings is a good first measure to assess on a global scale akin to the studies measuring total highway lengths that Pascal Neis et al did¹ more than decade ago and is feasible to be evaluated using the paper's methodology. Checking if the correct building=* tag is used or if the building:levels=* is present and/or accurate could be a good measure for a follow-up study.

    @cordillera @jikodesu pato and isla are both from Spanish. Tagalog has tons of word pairs consisting of "pure" #Tagalog and Spanish-borrowed both describing the same thing:

    • aklat vs. libro

    After nearly two decades in the informal-but-awesome @creativecommons community, I’m now taking a formal position by joining the CC board.

    I’m hoping to use the role — and this unique moment, driven by machine learning’s fusion of content and functionality — to build more bridges between open source and open culture, and ensure that there’s a role for open, and the commons, in this new moment.
