1·1 month agoIn-Anhalt voters are stupid enough to vote the Kremlin candidate in office next week, unfortunately. https://www.politico.eu/article/afd-inquiry-nato-vulnerabilities-hedgehog-2025-estonia-raises-intelligence-fears/
3·1 month agoEveryDoor works great for this (marks 5+ yo POI’s with a yellow signing, not in the map but below), very useful when using your phone. On a computer, also Overpass Turbo is great, for example: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2vBx Click ‘run’ to see the results. Or you can modify the date and the location then run the script.
Well, if I understand correct, this is only about personal data of people traveling to the Unreliable States of Assholes. Maybe these people just deserve it…

Some of them I wouldn’t include or even use, because they are too eager to continue doing business in russia, thereby paying taxes to the russian state that uses 46% of their budget for their war against Europe.
Don’t know if it’s a useful answer to your question, but might try offering the addition / updating of company locations info as a service to companies. For example check for a bunch of shop brands whether or not most of their shops are on osm, and if they aren’t (or very outdated), you make an offer to add/update. Then there are a few possible outcomes (besides no reaction):
- ‘yes, please help us!’
- ‘oh, we didn’t know OSM exists. Thanks for the tip, but we’ll manage it ourselves’ -> which is also a good outcome for OSM.
- ’why should we do that?’ / ‘no, too expensive’ -> evaluate your offer description or price

I recently tried to calculate this for my company. I wouldn’t call it negligible, but the impact of all video calls turned out to be much greater than the impact of AI.
In the Netherlands there’s now a useful dashboard on the depressing state of US tech dependency of government agencies, education, healthcare and a group of large companies.

There’s still a long way to go.
There are a lot of European alternatives already. Ok, maybe many of them aren’t exactly as smooth or marketed as the billion-dollar companies of the US, but many are still pretty good. The main problem is not the absence of good European tech, the main problem is a lack of funding (due to the absence of a common internal market), and a lack of enough marketing power. And a surplus of ‘IT-managers’ that pretend to be the expert but don’t know there’s life outside the googlosphere.
Some useful lists of alternatives:
Could have been a incorrect link, my fault. Removed the www, and it seems to work properly now
In the Netherlands someone made a nice (or maybe I should say: depressing) dashboard (still beta) for the US dependency of government agencies, schools, healthcare and companies: zijnwealautonoom.nl (‘are we autonomous yet’). Red button highlights the enormous extent to which most Dutch organisations behave like a digital colony of the US, for example screenshot shows education.
Yeah, that tweet aged well 🤦♂️
So, stop buying ANYTHING from the USA. For a quick start: buy-european.net
