just dont make this too obvious to the companies that do this if its possible, otherwise they will try to hide their bots better.

Also, is there a “tos” for open source projects, kind of like what is acceptable behavior and what is not? Directly calling out ai generated “contributions” as malicious and unwanted would at least remove the facade from them as non hostile.

Like, if someone trys to add malicious code to the project, that is definitely gainst some kind of agreement, no? So add slop to it too.

i think the reason we do not have ubi universally is it would remove one of the biggest leverages companies have. If you dont have to worry about becoming homeless and starving to death, you can’t be coerced into accepting any work for shitty pay. And people who dont have so many worries might start thinking about things beyond immidiate survival and how to distract themselves from it.

its time for ubi for many reasons, and this is one of them indeed

Sorry that I made stupid claims based on my own ignorance. But somehow this is the first time I have noticed that button

Well, now I feel a bit stupid since it was at that obvious place. Has it been there always or added recently?

I have no buttons there, unless you mean phone’s own back button which does abort whatever one is doing.

But what i mean is there is no undo for things you have already sent. Like for example, I noticed that a restauraunt seems to have slightly wrong opening times and I fixed them. Then I noticed after sending them that I was looking at wrong restauraunt and had to just make an issue for someone else to fix. I would rather just have undone the mistake or cancelled the sending since I have automatic submits off.

I do use it, but I cant find undo anywhere from it.

I noticed one problem with the application; if you make a mistake you cant fix it yourself or cancel, even if you turn off automatic sending. There should be one more step before sending so you can review and edit your work first.

this looks like wonderful program to use, my only worry is that how well openstreetmap is safeguarded against any corporation wanting to buy it out? This kind of community effort could easily make it vastly superior to anything corporations even could create so obviously they will try to acquire it at some point. Is it safe from that?

But provided that it is safe, this is really nice. I like going to new places but not having any real reason for it makes it feel a bit trivial. With this there is real tangible benefit for doing it.

sometimes making a stand and doing the right thing means making sacrifices that you might never see the results of yourself. We are able to argue about this today because there have been people in the past who did that.
