I update OSM all the time. Agreed it’s super therapeutic!
“Prevention” perhaps in the way of amputating a broken arm. If we apply the exact same scenario of the e-mail/Gmail to the Fediverse / Threads, we’re talking about a loss of (or lack of) some functions, but the foundational connection will still remain. Meta can dangle carrots with their bells and whistles, but the people who want to be on a non-corporate instance will remain here. We can still receive content & comments, and we can proselytize the benefits of a non-corporate Fediverse while still offering the same content & comments.
How is that different from defederating now?
In the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish scenario, assuming they get to “Extinguish”, the rest of the Fediverse becomes isolated and cannot connect with their friends and content.
If we defederate now, the Fediverse becomes isolated and cannot connect with Threads content, and cannot connect with friends who choose to be on Threads instead of a disconnected alternative.
So far I’ve only got a lot of unsatisfying answers (from a factual perspective). It seems to boil down to how much individuals on the fediverse fear Meta is in their capability of doing a full take-over. Personally, I feel like we’re pretty protected form that. I’ve posted my questions, and still looking for some good answers here:
I’m mildly torn about placing bus stops before placing your lines. Although, I think I’m leaning towards being happy about it.
It’s been convenient to just click once when creating stops on your line. But, I’m thinking that we’ll end up putting more thought and care into where the stops actually go. That, and if I need to edit the line and I happened to remove a stop, I don’t have to hunt for the exact spot where it was previously.
The biggest thing I’m thinking about is how a regional map would work. I do know that SimCity 4 did it successfully, but the lack of explicit showcasing of such a feature for CS2 has me skeptical they have one.
I’m expecting that intercity connections will purely be based on existing save files. But, I would welcome being proven wrong if they end up showcasing a regional map!
My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The “Power” button by default does:
In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.
