Ah cool. Horrifying, but cool in a meta way, as in it just proves my point. I stopped playing way before the DLC because it was too difficult for me already :)

Isn't colonialism sucking the between-the-lines premise of Factorio? You arrive on a new planet which already has a local population. You start collecting resources, building factories&shit there, polluting the hell out of the air around you. Locals get pissed and start attacking you, you kill them without ever considering them sentient beings. At some point, you also kinda have to also reduce everything and everyone within the range of your artillery to ashes - even before they become hostile. In the process you keep polluting the air until it is black with soot, destroy entire ecosystems for land or resources, turn water into sludge. The only thing missing to make it more realistic is enslaving the locals to work for you. It's really grim if you think about the gameplay that way.

Yeah, there's a lot missing from open data projects to make it easy.

I think the "correct" way forward is as follows:

  1. On wikidata, add "subclass of (P279) Fruit Tree (Q904653)" to all the taxa which are, well, fruit trees. You can use something like QuickStatements to help with the process;
  2. Then, extract the list of taxons with this property from there, including both the wikidata IDs and labels in English (which seem to always be the latin name). This can easily be done with SPARQL;
  3. Then do something similar to https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/269o but for all the taxa we've extracted, and turn it into a standalone app (maybe use https://openrecyclemap.org/ (https://github.com/meta-systems/openrecyclemap) as an "inspiration" - shouldn't be too difficult to adapt it here);
  4. Finally, add all the fruit trees you want to OpenStreetMap, using existing tags like species or genus etc.

This is a lot of work but if you're into it (and know both the subject matter and javascript) doable within a month or two of after-hours work.

If you decide to go for it, feel free to ask for help here and if I know something from the top of my head I will try to help you.

PS

Actually, I just realised that everything is mostly here already on the Wikidata side. What I actually wanted is something like this: https://w.wiki/EVgg

This does produce a list of all fruits and all species/gena from which you collect those fruits, sorted by "popularity" (sitelinks). It's like half the interface for our supposed map already!

If you want individual trees, it's difficult/useless to do because

  1. natural=tree is not commonly used in general (~30000000 usages out of an estimated ~3000000000000 trees)
  2. There's no tagging specifically for "fruit trees"
  3. There's a much more detailed tag for the species of an individual tree (genus, species/species:wikidata, taxon) but they are rarely used (only ~4M usages total out of ~30M trees mapped)
  4. You would have to list the species you would classify as "fruit trees", which are probably a lot of species, and then also do a search for all 4 of the tags listed above. As it's quite a complicated thing, you would probably need a more advanced tool for searching, like Overpass. Here are all the apple trees in a random bit of Italy: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/269o . There are obviously a lot more apple trees in that bit of Italy than the literally one that's mapped currently. As I've said the trees are not well-mapped (yet).

If you're looking for groups of fruit trees planted by humans, that's landuse=orchard, and while there are only ~1.6M uses of that, it groups a lot of trees together so might be more useful for you. You can search for orchards in OsmAnd (which is way more versatile anyway, if your hardware can run it I definitely recommend it over OrganicMaps) - just type in "Orchard" into the search bar.

If you're looking for orchards of a specific tree, there's the trees by which you can filter. But you'll once again need Overpass. For example, here are all the mapped apple orchards in the same random bit of Italy: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/269q (once again, there are probably way more but most are not mapped yet).

N.B: I've just realised that monospace links are not well-highlighted on Lemmy, so FYI all the tags/keys above are links that you can click to learn more

GenAI image generation is OK at text for half a year now, hence thousands of sloppy/unimaginative comics in your feeds. Not sure this in particular is AI because the text is well-aligned and matches with the background, and in general everything is kind of coherent, but it possibly could be.

While I agree that discipline is required, you can get much further with discipline and a gun (one good example is the historical context of MLK's achievements).

It means they can find out where it was purchased and by whom.

How? Do the e-waste centers keep track of the shit you take from there? Not where I live, they can sometimes give you stuff for free. Or you can just pick it up on ebay/craigslist/garage sale, that works too. Good luck tracking that.

All of them. Again, this is required by Android ToS.

I strongly doubt that because on my two last phones (OnePlus 5 & POCO M5) I didn't have to log in to a Google account with the default ROM, there was an obvious "Skip" button in the lower left corner when prompted to log in. Can you point me towards that ToS or a screenshot of an unskippable "Sign in to Google" screen on a consumer device?

That burner phone can still be traced back to you.

Depending on what that means, sure. Most likely scenario is that you get apprehended, can't discard the phone for whatever reason, and the cops search it. In that case yeah sure it can be traced back to you.

If you are careful and only use it for (careful) photography and maps (as OP requested), then I feel like it can't really be traced back to you if you discard it or give it to someone else etc, except maybe fingerprints and DNA (but cops likely won't have the resources to do that for everyone in the entire protest). And for situations like this it a digital camera or a paper map could be traced all the same.

All “feature phones” are running some form of Android

I'm not talking about "feature phones". Just a regular old midrange smartphone. E.g. the original Samsung Galaxy A-series.

That burner phone is likely going to require you to sign into a Google account with a phone number before it will do absolutely anything

Some of them will, sure. Check before buying (or just make a new Google account without linking it to a phone number - might require a VPN to somewhere else but doable). I've had plenty of smartphones where you can just skip it. You won't have access to Google Play and such but that might be a bonus :)

Android requires this in their ToS

I'm too lazy to check but I highly doubt it - Google is not available in China at all and yet there are plenty of Android smartphones sold there. Also Android is mostly open-source and different vendors can and do build different versions of it.

As others said, you can reuse burner phones, and they can be really really cheap. You can get a 10-year-old midrange phone from an e-waste place for free or close to that, replace the battery (which tends to be much easier on old phones), and it will do everything you need just fine. I think it's the sweet-spot between convenience (e.g. navigation is really useful if the crowd carries you to part of the city you don't know, taking photos/videos, etc) and safety (even if you get caught, and are forced to unlock the phone, there's virtually nothing on it that cops can rummage through). Just make sure to pre-download maps and other resources you may need (for maps on a cheap old device I would recommend this: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.comaps.fdroid), but don't log in to any accounts. Unless you really need to communicate with others over the phone, keep the airplane mode on. If you're savvy enough, while replacing the battery you can also physically disconnect the antennae from the modem too for extra peace of mind.

Oh, also, I don't know about your country but in some places you can still get "anonymous" pre-paid SIMs from sellers in shady underpasses for cash. If you really must communicate with others via cellular/need mobile internet, that's also an option to put in your burner phone. But once again, avoid logging in to any accounts or calling anyone you know unless absolutely necessary.

Wait. T490 is considered old now? For me, an "old" thinkpad is definitely pre-chicklet keyboard (*30 generation and older).

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Looks great! But don't gatekeep your own previous work as "not real photography". You can shoot amazing pictures on your phone. Or on a digital point&shoot from the 90s. Or on a friggin gameboy camera. The "real" photography is the photons we've captured along the way.

Yeah there's an ICC warrant on his head, isn't there? Although

When asked if Greece would still follow its obligations as per the Rome Statute and implement the warrants if the subjects should enter the country, Marinakis refrained from giving a direct answer ¹

Since today is my first cake day, I've decided it's time to post instead of commenting. This is a picture I took last month on my phone through binoculars. Taken from Gomismta, the mountains you see are the Main Caucasian Ridge.
