Semi-retired Internet geek living with my wife and dog in Nairn, Scotland. When I’m well enough I’m trying to make the world a better place through the application of technology but I’m also the SNP councillor for Nairn & Cawdor which is taking up most of most of my time.
IME “path repairs” too often means making steps which are more difficult to descend than the path that was there before unless you have exactly the same agility as the (generally young and fit) path builders.
Depressing how often this happens. The path down off Cairngorm towards the cafe is a prime example.
I bet she flew to Bonn…
Not every country has elections either.
Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year’s Day that we need the day after off too.

And still is.
That would have been Slackware, which in those days came on a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. So early 90’s (and hence I was in my mid-30s) but I was still mainly using Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock to connect to the Internet.
I think the first time I really took it seriously was in the mid 90’s with Debian, a copy of which was posted to me, on CD-ROM I think, by Ian Murdock himself (back in the days when he was still with Debra 😏).
BTW there’s now an OSM community !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
We update it a lot. We also have a product (for walkers in the British Isles) called WayMaps (used by a variety of walking web sites in the UK and also our own demo site https://waymaps.the-hug.net/) which uses the geodata from OSM and other Open Data to produce our own map tiles. We love OSM.
Not so effective against the likes of YouTube allegedly.
