@InsertUser @unknowing8343 @openstreetmap I honestly kind of doubt that, open street map is to go to the data set to want to try and recreate from scratch.

I do kind of agree I overture maps exists because there are some things that are just difficult to do with raw open street map data as developer depending on what kind of things you're needing it for

@unknowing8343 they're doing fine...?

They have been publishing their data sets and stuff over time.

Anyone who thought the overture maps was going to create their own open street map clearly didn't understand what the point of it was.

The idea of overture maps is that they are going to make it easier for developers to have standardized map data sets to work with. They'll have much less detail in the actual open street map database but there'll be much more standardized

@redd

The images to imgur are backed up in case they get deleted from imgur for whatever reason btw.

And soon :tm: they'll be uploaded to an open source image hosting system but I still need to get that online

@CowsLookLikeMaps
- in Mapilio's defense, they only launched their integration this month. It might take some time to get up to the same level
- Mapillary had a whole system for verifying AI detections but that went away when Meta took over and basically forced Mapillary to revamp their entire server infra.
The tool still exists but doesn't work because it would have to be modified to use the new api.
(I'm in contact with Mapillary's people with a potential solution)

@CowsLookLikeMaps And keep in mind: it's two evil companies BUT the images they're hosting are all CC-BY-SA licensed. So you can do a bunch of things with them and none of those companies can/will stop you.

I think this is different from the usual "big evil company bad, locking users in" mentality that we have around a lot of things like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc....

Atleast here the 'content' is open and available to use.

(I still think it's good to have our own servers, fyi)
