Maybe unrelated but...

what's an app for openstreetmap noobs like myself?

I want to switch to OSM, but don't know where to start. My main interests are looking up bus stops / routes, browsing for places to eat or grab a drink and making contributions of my own since I suspect we have bad OSM coverage in my area.

What are the best apps to start browsing and contributing?

@switchingsocial@mastodon.at IMO a good reason to recommended brave it's accessibility. Brave runs on Mac, PC, Android and iOS, it was my go to recommendation for non savvy people.

Is there another mobile-desktop out of the box privacy respecting browser out there I can recommend?

@mister_monster @tootapp @astheroth@mstdn.io @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology To fascists "freedoms" are nothing but tools to be used to take away the rights of minorities.

To maximize freedom in the world we must oppose whom want to crush it: Fascists.

Perhaps we would not despair so if we had more trust in what a changed world could look like.

... I'm hardly a good debater in the first place, but it is an area of discussion I find uniquely frustrating, and I still don't know how to introduce the more useful ways of thinking about the issue in a way people take seriously. I really appreciate the idea of focusing on what parts of modern society we want to keep and which we don't, however....

... or in making the personal choice not to travel by plane.

There was no acknowledgement of the fundamental link to capitalism, hell, not even of the fact that so much change is held back by eg oil companies. And it can be a difficult thing to explain to people who don't already believe capitalism is something that needs to be done away with; a lot of people take it as a neglect of "personal responsibility" if you argue that consumer behavior is not how we counter-act climate change. ...

I'm a design student and at my particular school, a lot of the problems they ask us to "solve" or at least address through design have been based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Being a communist in that equation, especially with the course focused firmly on climate change, has been an incredibly frustrating and alienating experience, because many people really do seem to believe that "saving the planet" lies in designers using different materials or in raising people's motivation ...
