I tend to avoid stacking primary tags, like shop. I would use shop=sports combined with sports=surf;skate.

The neighbourhood rats ate nearly all my strawberries the last two years so this year I transplanted them into hanging baskets. I see lots of berries growing so I am crossing my fingers we get to eat some this year!

I had contributed before but ultimately I don't find it that useful because the app is incomplete. The concept is valuable and I like the evaluation visualization, but incomplete or incorrect data make it much less useful.
Only the latest "evaluation" of an app is saved. It was very common for me to reopen Sapio only to discover someone had assigned a different evaluation from the one I had given and my evaluation was gone.
The user should be able to add a comment saying which features don't work. Just saying "Some features do not work" is not that helpful. Some users may have tested an app more thoroughly than others and so can provide details about specific parts of the app that do or do not work.
I have relied on completely degoogled android for many years now (first LineageOS and then GrapheneOS) but I almost didn't even try because I didn't know if my apps would work. A database like this would have been very useful at the time. Hopefully it can be made even better.
Thanks for your comment, I agree with you that generalities are harmful (and often lazy thinking).
If I understand what you are saying, that's not what I meant. I don't intend to say all landlords are bad people, but that landlordism itself is bad. It is not possible for there to be a good landlord because the relationship that must exist between a landlord and renter is exploitative and harmful.
The behaviour of the owners is disgusting. There is no such thing as a good landlord.
“Everyone deserves a safe place to live,” Vlietstra said. “I believe that is a basic human right: a safe place to live, that you can call home and not fear it’s going to burn down or people are going to break in.”
Death, Injuries, Displacement. The Dark History of One Vancouver Landlord
What can a city do with a property owner like Henry Ren?
> Three apartment fires with one common factor.
> The properties were — and still are — owned by Fu De (Henry) Ren and his wife, Fang Yan. And while the Mount Pleasant fire was determined to be accidental, the buildings and their owners had a record of multiple fire safety violations.
We lost our feijoa this year even though we covered and lightly heated them. They had survived colder winters but I think this time the temperature dropped too suddenly.
We lost Chilean guava last year.
I am not willing to try any more zone 8 plants in Vancouver but I haven't figured out what to replace them with.
On that note, what are everyone's favourite fruit trees/shrubs to grow in the Lower Mainland? We have figs, Italian plums, blueberries, and kiwi berries. I am considering adding pears or mulberries.
I use an Electra Cruiser as my commuter.
It is very comfortable and easy to ride. It has a really nice low gear so I just take my time going up hills.
Their reception in urban areas is great (but not excellent). Many of their plans now include Nationwide which means they piggy back off other carriers for areas where they don't provide their own service.
I have been with them for more than a decade because their value can't be beat.
The biggest negative for me is their customer service over the phone. Their operators seem to stumble at doing anything and have mediocre English skills. I try to do everything via their website.
All the trolley bus routes were originally streetcar routes built out a century ago. Tbh I'm not aware of them ever installing new trolley bus routes.
Trolley lines are going to be expensive to install and maintain. Even without fast chargers they still need similar equipment to convert to DC for the trolley wires.
A quick search gave me a TransLink report which probably has some good details: https://www.translink.ca/-/media/translink/documents/about-translink/policies/translink_low_carbon_fleet_transition_plan_2020_02_24.pdf
Ultimately a waste of police resources.
I have been waiting for this since they hinted at it months ago and I am happy with what I see. The minimum zoning rules are solid.
With regards to the removal of public hearings for spot rezonings that match the community plan, and requirement that community plans reflect the 20 year need for housing - I hope these are as impactful as I understand them to be. I hope to see a lot more density being built, more quickly.
Helen Lui has been hitting it out of the park with her recent articles. She is a good one to follow on Twitter for this type of stuff, too.
Love it. This was one of my fav games of my childhood. I only finally beat it after I came back to it as an adult so I can relate to the scene in this photo.
I still know so many of the hidden lives and power ups.
Sorry still learning to use Lemmy and missed your reply.
I use Every Door to add new businesses, add detailed tags related to a business, or add micro features like benches, garbage bins, etc
Using a company's website for their contact info and hours etc is definitely okay. Using another website like Google Maps or Facebook for that information is not. Some sources like municipality GIS data is acceptable if their licence has been cleared but I would check the wiki first.
Happy mapping!
Yes, there are so many things that can be added to OpenStreetMap and we would love more help! I would start by asking: what do you use OSM for? or, what would you like to see more of in OSM?
I am a frequent OSM contributor in Vancouver. Personally I like to find a niche and work on it for a few weeks before I lose interest and find something else to map. I use the iD editor on openstreetmap.org.
I also like to pull out my phone when I am in a new neighbourhood or shopping area to see if there is anything I can add with StreetComplete or Every Door.
There are so many possible ways to contribute to OSM. I don't think the map can every be complete.
The wiki is an important guide for learning how to map more features. wiki.openstreetmap.org
Another helpful way to contribute is to upload GPS-tagged through Mapillary.
There are tools like Osmose which help identify QA issues https://osmose.openstreetmap.fr
Hit me up if you have any questions!
See Wikipedia:
The name of the highway, unlike that of Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, is pronounced /ˈloʊhiːd/. The highway is named after Nelson Seymour Lougheed, MLA for the Dewdney District and the BC Minister of Public Works (1928–1929), who ran a logging company in the area.
Hades on Steam Deck is a blast
I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I'd say it's the first game where I've noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.
On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.
Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?
