  • That's fucked up, thanks for letting me know! I was under the impression it was mostly trafficked underpaid immigrants breaking their backs.

  • I guess because CoMaps/Organic Maps are "offline-first" maps, and transitous requires you to be online.

    There's actually a ticket on CoMaps about this: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/2483

    They are considering making a proof of concept that works online, and then putting in some more work to make it work offline too.

  • Netanyahu vows punishment for Israeli soldier shown hitting Jesus statue

  • So, let me get this straight:

    • Smashing literal living human children over the head: glory, promotions
    • Smashing a statue of some dude who died 2000 years ago over the head: harsh disciplinary action

  • You are already in the exact same timeline, there still is a significant amount of child laborers in US agriculture and literally no legal age limit provided parents sign a waiver. US is and has always been a fucked up country

  • Locked

    Proposed instance defederation for multiverse.soulism.net - an instance administrated by Grail aka Dronerights aka Hardlightcereal aka Exocrinous aka Drag

    Jump

  • As an outsider, I find it weird that this instance warrants defederation when there's a lot of similar content/stances/trolls on mainstream "liberal" instances like lemmy.world, piefed.world etc. IMO community-wide bans would be more appropriate

  • It uses Transitous, the same routing engine as Bimba. So yes, it should work fine if you're on Linux.

  • As for the actual question at hand: don't rely too much on OSRM. It's just the "default" router, and there are many others out there. E.g. both Valhalla and Graphhopper suggest the shorter route in pedestrian mode.

  • Also, will OSM - OrganicMaps\CoMaps will introduce any time soon ability for public transport routes?

    I don't think there are any current plans for it. It's actually really difficult to get right.

    OsmAnd kinda cheats and doesn't have any scheduling information, basically it assumes that the transit comes often enough that it doesn't matter, which is fine in bigger cities. However, if your bus comes only twice a day it will be an issue.

    There's an open-source app for public transit called Bimba. It is a bit janky, and it requires you to be online for proper routing, but it does work for many cities. It still needs a lot of polishing before I'd consider it done, and actually I'd love for it to just become an OsmAnd plugin at some point.

  • I've managed to locate the exact place from the screenshot (there was enough identifying info for an overpass query so you might want to consider improving opsec if it's a privacy concern).

    I think the reason why walking prefers to go the long way around is because the path parallel to the secondary road is marked as highway=footway, and walking algorithms generally prefer those over other types of paths. It is assumed that highway=footway is tended to and therefore more pleasant/fast to walk on compared to a general highway=path, which is just something that is maintained naturally because of people walking there. I guess surface=mud on the shorter path might also play into it - routers will generally penalize worse surfaces and instead suggest you to walk on firmer ones.

    If that shorter path is actually "official" in some way and is pleasant to walk on, consider changing it to highway=footway, otherwise the router is probably behaving correctly by not sending you down a muddy shortcut.

  • Spain urges EU to end association agreement with Israel

    Jump

  • Interestingly, the top 3 countries by signatures are as follows

    1. France - 420000
    2. Italy - 258000
    3. Spain - 138000

    And by threshold percentages (which I assume are a proxy for percentages of overall population):

    1. France - 754%
    2. Italy - 482%
    3. Spain - 332%

    I would've expected Spain and Ireland to be on top for at least the latter one, interesting why they're not

  • Justice for Palestine

    Jump

  • https://eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public

    It still needs more signatures. Usually only ~80-90% turn out to be valid, so at least 1.3M are needed, and organizers are aiming for 1.5M. Please sign if you are able! Even if it doesn't lead to material outcomes, it is still a major show of support for the palestinian cause

  • Everyone is a worker

    Jump

  • Being a lazy piece of shit who steals labor from workers is not mutually exclusive with being miserable. In fact I suspect they are interlinked, a lot of rich assholes also seem to be in constant mental anguish even though they don't do anything useful. This is not to provoke pity for them, rather to clarify that I think a certain amount of labor is required for a person to live a complete and happy life.

  • Everyone is a worker

    Jump

  • They do, definitionally. They perform a service in exchange for a wage. This service is of net-negative use value for the society, but it's a service nonetheless. Otherwise we could be arguing that people in advertisement or gambling industries don't perform any labor.

  • I think the depiction of the landlord is not exactly correct.

    Landlords are usually miserable, constantly worried about missing payments and mortgages and property values and blaming apartment dilapidation on the tenant. I'm yet to interact with a happy and fully mentally stable landlord.

  • Sedona, AZ. Welcome to our town, wait for traffic to pass before enjoying

    Jump

  • When waiting on such long intersections I often wish to change the light timings and/or dig up the entire god damn stroad and/or throw oil & car execs in prison. But sure, a pedestrian bridge would be an improvement too I suppose.

  • Electric vehicles pass tipping point in much of Europe: lifetime cost matches petrol cars

    Jump

  • In europe gas is expensive and electricity can be quite cheap because of rapid renewables adoption. In addition, you also have to factor in that gas cars need regular oil changes, engine maintenance and their brakes usually wear out much faster too.

  • Europe-led coalition prepares mission to reopen Strait of Hormuz

    Jump

  • Yes. But that's just a dick move, because while it sucks there's not much Ukraine can realistically do about it.

    Meanwhile this is also stupid because Iran clearly holds all the cards (and anti-ship missiles) there.

  • Europe-led coalition prepares mission to reopen Strait of Hormuz

    Jump

  • Not inviting Iran and Oman to these talks is a dick move and also just stupid. It is their territorial waters, and Iran will have military control over Hormuz by the end of the war, so any plan that doesn't involve them is likely to get rained on by missiles.
