Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website? in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

There's a way to embed a map in the article itself. See The Maps for Wikipedia page for information on how to do that.

Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

How can we boost Lemmy membership? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I know they had a word block list but I'm unsure if it's still around.

The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet in c/technology@lemmy.world

I just realized FF didn't have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!

101 reports and counting this morning in c/main@midwest.social

[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They go to nearly everyone.

If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances' admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.

It's kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.

@midwest.social users (or any other federated users) are absolutely 100% welcome to comment here in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 11 points 2 years ago

That thread was posted by a user, not an admin. So it wasn't official in any capacity. We're still federated!

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month in c/technology@lemmy.world

I got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it's a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.
