#AskFedi can you put public Wi-Fi passwords on #OpenStreetMap? I didn't see any tag for it

The #PedestrianWorkingGroup hosted a #MappyHour on July 30th! We led over 50 participants in mapping sidewalks across Richmond, Virginia. In case you missed it, you can watch the first half of the Mappy Hour on YouTube.
@mms Also it made possible to connect different people around the globe with different hobbies/passions/etc!
I wasn't be able to found a lot of #dragons , Linux/BSD folks, niche hobbyists, my local hackspace (and knowledge about hackspace culture at all), music, films, books, etc at all.
I remember life without the Internet and it was shit life — one source of information (government backed TV), few friends, some books, some video cassetes and thats all. A lot of hobbies were very hard to start because there are no necessary books in bookstores, necessary materials weren't sold in usual stores and you simply didn't know about specialized stores in town.
BTW, our government periodically make "days without the Internet" to "protect" "citizens". And it is bad days — all plans to meet with friends and to buy some food in stores became broken, because we can't plan anything reliable without the information about closing hours, street jams, can't order some food for party, etc.
Luckily, the #OpenStreetMap and downloaded maps in #OsmAnd saved me. But I can't even buy the water because all stores here connected to the Internet to check special "excise marks" (QR codes unique for each bottle to trace it's path from factory to the consumer, and every sold item should have updated record in the main store's DB becaue … there are big fines for selling some items — alcohol, cigarettes, water, food for childs, juice, etc — without these QR codes).

@achadwick In the US, removing all useless TIGER import tags would solve all the nation's drought problems immediately and permanently! #OpenStreetMap

I think that #OpenStreetMap should reuse deleted nodes to save water #NationalDroughtGroup
I already did this in #Openstreetmap in the past but do not remember correctly how to anymore. How can I convert a multipolygon relation to a simple closed way?

Spannend für alle, die unterwegs sind: Ein neues #GSoC2025-Projekt für #OpenStreetMap soll aktuelle Straßensperrungen und Baustellen in Echtzeit anzeigen.
Die Idee: Navi-Apps und Karten erhalten sofortige Infos, um Umwege oder Staus zu vermeiden.
Geplant sind:
Die Live-Demo ist schon in Arbeit – bald können wir alle sehen, wie unkompliziert aktuelle Sperrungen ins Routing einfließen. 
is anyone else getting a mostly blank page when they load openstreetmap.org in a desktop web browser? the decorations are there but the map just won't show up and nothing works. it was working, and now it inexplicably does not.
it was working, and then i clicked one of the overlays out of curiosity, and now it won't do anything.

Vad är grejen med att vissa husnummer saknas i OSM? Måste de läggas in för hand? Nu senast Engelbrektsgatan 11 i Malmö.
Skrev in adressen till restaurangen som ligger där, så den kanske går att hitta nu. Men om det bara är ett bostadshus?
Och här är ett exempel i min närhet i Lund. Nya hus på Sankt Hans gränd har nummer, men hus byggda på 1960-talet (typ) saknar nummer.
EDIT: numren på Sankt Hans gränd finns där om man zoomar. Men inte Engelbrektsgatan 11.

@curiously couldn't find an impact in #Indonesia here : http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/New%20website_05-2018/AsiaRussia.html. There's only one according to #OpenStreetMap (but unnamed) https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/29P7. What's the source of your info ?
De mon POV, l'affichage carte de #GoogleMaps est pauvre, mal calibré, illisible, grossier, brouillon… rendant la projection spatiale laborieuse lors de la préparation d'un voyage.
Dans @openstreetmap / @osm_fr via, par exemple, @CoMaps, je comprends facilement où je vais mettre les pieds ; la richesse et la précision des infos affichées me permettent de me repérer très facilement, en réduisant au minimum les erreurs d'interprétation de l'environnement qui m'entoure.
