I'd like to get on your list! I'm trying to build a collection of secondhand computers for a Linux class I'll be teaching with a nonprofit next summer. You wouldn't even need to load Mint on them, I'll be tasking the students with installing various distros themselves!

Just like adding +business.name to the end of your email username to catch which businesses sell your email address.

I also enjoyed this short talk about the strange hybrid language that we have to use to tag features in #OSM #OpenStreetMaphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOefY-6jUMw

If you're fed up with Google Maps for immediately capitulating to nonsense like this, I'd recommend trying out CoMaps or OsmAnd as general-purpose map/navigation apps.
If you want to learn more about #OSM and how to contribute edits to the map, we've got a whole #StreetsMNPodcast episode you can check out!

Next time you find yourself talking to someone who believes a street is being reconstructed because bike lanes are being added, here's your reference guide to refute that:

Well, @pluralistic@mamot.fr got one thing wrong in _Little Brother_: we didn't need a high-profile terrorist attack for the US government to start disappearing ordinary people off the streets and making everyone seek out secure digital messaging systems. They just did it without provocation.
A very personal look at the effects of induced demand.

> I drive I-94 to Stillwater every day because it’s rational. Here’s why that makes me the best argument for tearing it out.
Spotify notified me that they are removing a bunch of old podcast episodes of mine from their platform for copyright infringement. These episodes use songs from Kevin MacLeod, who famously publishes all his songs under a CC license.
Now, here's the kicker: one of the episodes is a lesson about copyright law, and goes into great depth explaining the legal framework that allows us to use Kevin's music without asking his permission. 😆
A fan who got to ride the Zamboni between periods at today's Minnesota Frost game unfurled an anti-ICE banner and got a standing ovation!
After a few minutes a staff member took it away from her and got lots of boos.

Went to a fundraiser social hour for @streetsmn@mstdn.social !
Day 22 #30DaysofBiking
After work I ran errands to West Photo and Free Geek, and on the way home surveyed a bunch of stuff along the Greenway for OSM!
Day 21 #30DaysofBiking
Went to an open house about neighborhood traffic calming proposals. I think my intersection might get a traffic circle this year!
Day 20 #30DaysofBiking
Here's the weekly discussion prompt I posted for my online class right after my ride to work!

Day 19 #30DaysofBiking
Went to a birthday party in St Paul. After 30 minutes, my partner said, "we must be getting close, feels like we've been riding for quite a while." I laughed a little at that, because back when I lived in St Paul, that was about the minimum time to ride to most events. Living in Minneapolis has us quite spoiled.
Day 16 #30DaysofBiking
Took a nice, slow commute home this afternoon and surveyed a ton of stuff for @openstreetmap@en.osm.town via @streetcomplete@mastodon.social
Really great points here about making sure bus and bike projects work together! It is really frustrating how spotty St Paul's follow through on their bicycle plan is. Use projects like this to your advantage!

Here we go, this is the kind of fight I want to be seeing out of my state's government!
It has been 0 days since I was mistaken for a high school student. Still got it! 🤪
I highly recommend playing Guess Who but with a house rule that you can only ask subjective questions.
Eg "does this person know how to open a PDF?"
"Has this person made it to yellow belt in karate?"
"Is this person an art teacher?"
Etc

Last year when I moved across Minneapolis, I challenged myself to move all my furniture and possessions by bike.
Definitely my most ambitious submission for the #CarryShitOlympics to date!

Yeah, clever solutions only work until the opponent also gets clever.
