5% is huuuge overestimate. Maybe on a tech site or forum. On a regular website for the general public? Less than a rounding error. Remember, we are in a lemmy bubble

The lake and the building is still there, lot of German pensioners floating around it. The building's roof was reconstructed in the 1930s, but otherwise you can take the same photo

Similar to me, and haven't seen that ad. I also checked that all notification channela are enabled for me.

There is a setting: Data collection -> Studies. That may be the reason for OP. But if data collection is disabled then it also disables studies:

After much debate, the new policy is in effect: Wikipedia authors are not allowed to use LLMs for generating or rewriting article content. There are two primary exceptions, though.

First, editors can use LLMs to suggest refinements to their own writing, as long as the edits are checked for accuracy. In other words, it’s being treated like any other grammar checker or writing assistance tool. The policy says, “ LLMs can go beyond what you ask of them and change the meaning of the text such that it is not supported by the sources cited.”

The second exemption for LLMs is with translation assistance. Editors can use AI tools for the first pass at translating text, but they still need to be fluent enough in both languages to catch errors. As with regular writing refinements, anyone using LLMs also has to check that incorrect information hasn’t been injected.

It's an article from 2025 July, if you follow the story it doesn't contain new information

Can you host images somewhere else than reddit? It's blocked(?) by some instances, I can't even see them without going to lemmy.world, or following the link to reddit. On reddit you can't open images in full size, literally the worst image host I can imagine.

Reuploaded to lemmy.zip:

Some context about OpenStreetMap:

It's an Open Data project, it means you can just go to a mirror and download the full db legally, and do whatever you want with that.* The license of OSM (called ODbL) even allows selling the data. They can legally train on it if they need this.

Yet the crawlers hammering the servers used by the volunteers... It's so stupid.

If you are interested this page lists like 20 different ways you can download data, depending on your use case, and what part of the database you actually need: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Downloading_data

* There is only one requirement, you have to display ©OpenStreetMap somewhere if you publish some derivative work. More info here: https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/

Volker Theile (lead dev of FreeNAS 2006-2009) maintaines OpenMediaVault, based on debian, version 8 was released recently. Not a drop in replacement, and it has its own quirks, but no evil company in the background

In firefox you can see which pages and addons use the memory on the about:processes page, shortcut is shift+esc.

Wait. The point of the unbelievable amount of telemetry you can't even disable was to collect info in situations like this. Right? Why is there telemetry if they have to ask?

Edit: title of the article is a bit misleading, as I obviously commented before reading the article.

The "another" company they are in contacting is Phison, the manufacturer of thr affected controllers, so it doesn't sound as bad as from the title

How did that "weird dll" get on your computer? What computer do you have which has 100 TB+ storage?

Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Windows Notepad App allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

An attacker could trick a user into clicking a malicious link inside a Markdown file opened in Notepad, causing the application to launch unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

TIL notepad can render markdown

Very nice project! Thank you for using OpenStreetMap! I love it when the project I contribute to gets used in interesting projects like this!

But some quick notes, related to the map display: It's called OpenStreetMap, there is no s at the end, written in CamelCase without spaces. The other more important problem is you forgot to include the attribution text on the map. For using OSM there is only one requirement, you have to display "© OpenStreetMap" somewhere on a corner of the map. More info about this on the website of the OSM foundation: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines

I see the attribution text is displayed on http://trails.tchncs.de/ but not on https://demo.wanderer.to/ so I don't know what's going on.

The basemap display on the demo website uses the tile server from openstreeetmap.org. This is very discouraged, and also can give bad experience to users. The tiles on osm.org are raster tiles, they are regenerated automatically after a change in the map data, they are aimed as a tool for map contributors, not end users. You can read more about this here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/

There is a new totally free maplibre compatible vector tile provider, which uses the same map data, I recommend to switch to OpenFreeMap. Users can also self host OpenFreeMap, so some really privacy minded users could totally self host the full project this way.

I also hope they add some AI thing. OMG I need more AI things in my webbrowser. It doesn't matter what it does, but it has to have this icon: ✨, that's the important

It's called OpenStreetMap, the last character is P, it's singular.

For reviews there are multiple ongoing projects, none of them is mature enough for everyday use, they have a very few content:

• https://lib.reviews/
• https://mangrove.reviews/

There was a long and very interesting thread about this last year on the osm forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/a-crowd-sourced-review-service-for-openstreetmap/136235/24

For timetables, it's an existing standard called GTFS, public transport companies should publish their timetables in this format. Transportr is a mature app which supports a lot of companies and cities: https://transportr.app/

CoMaps (a better fork of OrganicMaps) already have a lot of issues about integrating GTFS feeds, e.g. https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/1651
