Not so effective against the likes of YouTube allegedly.

Similar in the UK. Ours is called Airwave and came in in the early 2000s.

Not every country has elections either.

Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year's Day that we need the day after off too.

Rest of the UK: heh, OK, so you can work on Easter Monday instead

They offered it to me. I've not been on reddit since the API issue kicked off.

Largely new friends. Interestingly those who had children later seemed to cope better with the balancing act between parenthood and socialising.

Now in my sixties and still CF. In my thirties the only real down side was the loss (largely) of friends who had chosen to have children so could now no longer come out to play.

But life was good, on the whole.

And still is.

That would have been Slackware, which in those days came on a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. So early 90's (and hence I was in my mid-30s) but I was still mainly using Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock to connect to the Internet.

I think the first time I really took it seriously was in the mid 90's with Debian, a copy of which was posted to me, on CD-ROM I think, by Ian Murdock himself (back in the days when he was still with Debra 😏).

BTW there's now an OSM community !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

We update it a lot. We also have a product (for walkers in the British Isles) called WayMaps (used by a variety of walking web sites in the UK and also our own demo site https://waymaps.the-hug.net/) which uses the geodata from OSM and other Open Data to produce our own map tiles. We love OSM.
