DIY hammock palace
This looks awesome! Have you taken it out yet? What kind of stitching does it have and did you use a sewing machine? How much does it weigh, more or less then a backpacking tent?

Magic Earth and spurious closures
I've never had a problem with magic earth, personally. They have a feature that allows users to report road closures, speed cameras, etc... What may be happening is that a user local to your area is falsely reporting things for one reason or another. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there is a whole lot to do about this. It might be worth contacting the company about it.

Favorite PeerTube channels or instances?
I quite like Urbanist video, they tend to host vids related to urban planning which is pretty cool!

Coop education
Reply in thread
No problem! I just had a worker coop near me go under and they had a lot of trouble contacting old members about equity. So rigorous record keeping is probably one key factor. There is also a really amazing documentary about the grocery consumer coops in the twin cities. I believe it's called Co-op Wars, I think it's on PBS. It documents many of the difficulties of starting coops and there are probably some good lessons to be learned in there. There is also Living the Revolution about housing coops in Madison WI. Also many good community lessons in there. It's only found on youtube as far as I can tell.

Fairphone 4 In the US
I've got the fairphone 3+ running /e/ os and T-Mobile is the carrier. It works pretty well and I don't have many complaints. Keep in mind that the FP 3+ only connects to 3G and 4G networks while I believe the FP 4 connects to 4G and 5G networks so I don't have any experience using 5G. I'm sure it would be fine unless you have any specific reason to doubt that Verizon would work.

Has anyone had experience with the tildeverse?
"tildes are pubnixes in the spirit of tilde.club, which was created in 2014 by paul ford.
member status in the tildeverse mainly involves some level of engagement or presence on irc; all other systems are independent." - from their website.
It seems that the -verse comes from the protocol standard and that they share a common chat channel.

I use Florisboard with transcribro for my offline speech to text needs. Florisboard is in beta though so some features aren't yet useable.

Favourite Tools and Equipment
I really like these corona pruning shears that I got recently. Very easy to sharpen due to the blade being removable and I'm sure they'll last a long time!

Question about an Android app
I haven't seen osm2gmaps mentioned yet. It by default only uses geo chords but you have the ability to add an api key for what3words that allows you to search addresses like you want.

I did actually read the site, of the first 3 blurbs on the site that I read none of them mentioned that feature. Take for example:
