You obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.

This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.

Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.

So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.

It is basically trivial at this point to connect an outdoor picture to a physical location. This sounds like basic online safety to me.

Sounds like a good situation to connect with a therapist or coach. Talk to someone outside the family who can help you formulate a strategy.

It’s not all or nothing, and it’s not a forever problem. You can use the family business to launch into something more stable and healthy in a few years. Whether that’s education or career planning or just building a financial parachute, I promise you can start taking steps now that will leave you in a better place in the future.

You are a survivor.

How thriving? Is it just summer home thriving, or is it private jet thriving?

How toxic? Is it just criticizing your significant other toxic, or give away your dog to punish you toxic?

For the record, I do agree. It’s worth occasionally thinking about the limits of communication, but it is the foundational technology of civilization.

All language is a fundamentally incomprehensible illusion of communication, and people have thought that for a while.

Makes for some banger songs though.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight.

This could be a major vector for malicious actors. Try to block me? I’ll just edit my description to cut off from every community.

@proti@lemmy.world not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for making my day!

Bad bot.

That’s true, there are some projects to bring features like street view/360 view, interactive business listings, internal views, etc. In my area, I still have to switch back and forth between Google and OSM, but some areas are much more complete. It just depends on where you live and which specific features you rely on.

It will never come from scraping a copyrighted source, as that would be fundamentally against the ethos of the project 🤷

For clarification, Organic Maps was the project that has been accused of mismanagement. A significant portion of that community departed to create this app, CoMaps. The goal from the outset was to create a more transparent and open community, hence the name, community maps or CoMaps.

CoMaps is a fairly recent fork of what was already an excellent app, but likely with poor management ethics behind it. I’ve been extremely impressed by the rapid pace of development on a pretty sizable project. There are already hundreds of small (and a few not so small) improvements over the project it was forked from.

It’s a very different approach. Personally, I could never fit OSMand into my daily routine, but this one has been great.

It’s not a reskin, it’s built from the ground up. Although it is technically a fork of a fork (not OSMand).

For me, much more user-friendly and intuitive and even quicker. They both use open street maps data, but I think they are worlds apart. I haven’t done any testing with OSMand for a couple years, so I couldn’t tell you which specific features are different.

I find it very easy to read, day or night. It’s quick to add a destination for navigation. It’s very easy to create updates directly from the app that will upload to OSM.

There is a learning curve, and different people have different approaches. Yours is to dive in, which means you will learn a lot quickly. I always go too slow and do a lot of smaller experiments along the way. I make fewer major mistakes, but am slow to adopt new software.

You will make it through this frustration and be actually helping others figure things out before you know it.

Don’t worry about the copying and pasting. Strangers on the internet care more about your success and well being than corporations anyway. I’ve been involved with the open source community for decades in one way or another and I have never - not once - encountered malicious code in a support forum.

My top customizable FOSS launchers:

Kvaesisto
Search-based with native-themed widgets and app drawer. Lots of integrations, reliable, and my personal daily driver.

Lawnchair
Drop-in replacement for Pixel launcher with some friendly features. Very active development.

Ion Launcher
Automatic app folders by category and decent customization options.

Einstein Launcher
Highly customizable and built from scratch. It’s under 3MB and already pretty capable, although it’s a young project and still in alpha
