Happy to announce I have contributed over 75,000 photos to #openstreetcam, that's nearly 1,000km of footage. This is the (one of the) #opensource equivalents of Google Streetview. This was possible thanks to a Waylens dashcam sponsored by Telenav!

Computer vision and machine learning learns how to recognise street signs and traffic rules from this footage.

Apparently #vim is the new black.

Bye Google+ Hello fosstodon

When websites say "use our app, it's much better", they mean better for them, not you.

If you want to help reforestation, it's important to know about a process called ecological succession. This is how nature does it.

The plants most people think of as weeds are very important in this. Botanically, they're known as pioneer species. They're tough, tenacious, and will grow even in unforgiving places.

Pioneers lay the groundwork for larger plants to gradually take over, eventually making a comfortable environment for climax species, like forest trees.

WTF IS THE NEW USB STANDARD

before before:
USB 3.0 - 5Gbit connection
USB 3.1 - 10Gbit connection

before
USB 3.1 gen 1 - 5Gbit connection
USB 3.1 gen 2 - 10Gbit connection

now
USB 3.2 gen 1- 5Gbit connection
USB 3.2 gen 2 - 10Gbit connection
USB 3.2 gen 2x2 - 20Gbit connection

what the heck, why not 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2

This is my first post on this instance. So I guess its time for #introductions

I first started using Mastodon back in 2017. I tried a few Finnish 🇫🇮 instances but they slowly degraded to unusable status. So here I am at Fosstodon! I've followed a few Fosstodonians proviously and I see this community is active and hospitable. I'm also a FOSS nerd so I think I'll enjoy my stay here.

My interest include:
- FOSS (obviously)
- Gaming
- Degooglifying
- Alternatives to Android (excl. iOS)

In Unix, we don’t say “I don’t think we’ve been introduced,” we say “permission denied (publickey)”

#Tusky has reached 100.000 downloads on Google Play. Thank you all so much ♥️

Just a good FYI, avoid Tokyo this coming year

This is why I love #openstreetmaps / #osm.

This is the power of #opensource and humans.

Holy cow, there already exists at least one public Onion service expressly for telnetting into, and it's an official Wikipedia mirror https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Telnet_gateway
