I'm curious how the (non-bot!) subscribers to this community feel about the bot posts here.

Personally, I'm not entirely comfortable with posts to pictures that give me no real sense of who created the image or how.

What do the rest of you think? Are there rules we should make explicit?

I'm rigged up and ready to go on a weekend where I got in three consecutive days of sailing -- first time ever. Next acquisition: tiller extension. It is now clearly in the must-have category.

For those who've wandered in here, you may have noticed the recent spat of bot postings. What's your take on that? Just can the postings and ban the user?

I think I'll probably do that preemptively right now, but I'm curious what experience or thoughts the rest of you have.

I've noticed I am not seeing posts for some local communities I subscribed to.

For instance, in the list of communities I see two posts on !Linux, but no posts when I click on the community. (And I've even commented on one post but can't get to it any more.)

I see something similar for !Games. The lists says nine posts and I see one.

What am I doing wrong? Under settings I made sure my language is "Undetermined." Anything else I should be checking?

I'm curious if anyone else has experience with tools for editing and collecting data in the field.

I'm vaguely aware of QField for QGIS. I believe ESRI has their own tools for that context, but I don't know what they are.

I'm also familiar with some tools for a specific industry: namely inspection and data collection for utilities. Some of the ones I know are probably best described as "long in the tooth."

What are the options these days? Where do you go for users that need to collect data in the field, whether it's inspection data, correcting existing GIS data, or collecting new data?

Heaved to on a starboard tack, stand-on vessel to just about everyone else. Or in non-sailing parlance: going nowhere fast on purpose and everybody has to go around me.

Location is the Barnett Reservoir outside Jackson, MS. The boat is a homemade Argie 15, an older Dudley Dix design.

Hardly top-tier sailing content, but we need to start somewhere.

If you don't know Logos by Nick on YouTube, you want to check out what he does. I'm not associated with the creator, but I've learned more about Inkscape from the tutorials there than anyplace else.
