Slovak is pretty interesting in this aspect, you basically have this: á, ä, č, ď, é, í, ĺ, ľ, ň, ó, ô, ŕ, š, ť, ú, ý, ž

In fact, you can speak Slovak in Czech Rep. and people will understand you, the same the other way around.

As a Slovak, I am frustrated. The opposition seems unable to gain support from voters on the countryside, which is the majority of the population - they are the easiest to convince, usually by lying and fearmongering (i. e. “Korčok will send slovak men to Ukraine”), or giving promises they plan on never achieving but sound nice (reducing prices, even though they are doing the opposite).

The current government has plans to dissassemble the slovak TV and radio in favour of a state influenced alternative (essentially for propaganda purposes), is reducing punishment for criminals, rapists and thieves (as many of them are now in the government).

The country’s debt is growing (now at ~7b euros), railways, healthcare and schools are falling. Things still kind of work, but they are held by duct tape.

That’s definitely not normal. The rendering can be a bit slow, but everything else shold be usable. Unless you have a low-range phone. If that is the case, I can recommend Organic Maps, which are much less resource-intensive.

Hmm, maybe some forum platform would be a good alternative? I feel like the Reddit format of Lemmy focuses more on news, rather than the forum format which is more about deeper discussions… Just an idea.

Have a look at the cyclosm.org map for details about the type of infrastructure, surfaces, bike parking, facilities and low-speed streets in your area. The map is using openstreetmap.org data, so feel free to add any missing infrastructure.

Well, you can create an account from EU, although mine got locked after creating just one blog post. And the support does not seem to respond, so I moved to a different platform.

I usually map these with a bare node - you could also use crossing=unmarked. I honestly don’t think a new tag is necessary.

Oh wow, big tech single-handedly curing my internet addiction! Love it!

I absolutely love CyclOSM. It’s great for bike commuting, as it differentiates between separated cycle paths and cycle lanes, shows one-way streets that allow opposite bicycle traffic, good/bad surface quality, 20 and 30 km/h streets and bike stands.

I love your style of writing :) I’ll bookmark your site in my gemini browser. I also think the post fits as it’s urbanism- and community-related.

You can easily scroll through the open tabs :) I don’t even use the dropdown menu.

I prefer to map them separately. For paths going along the road I use highway=footway + footway=sidewalk, for separate paths just highway=footway. You can also add sidewalk=separate to the road, so that routing software knows to prefer the separately mapped sidewalk to just using the road.

Peertube is a good federated alternative to Youtube, it also connects to the Fediverse and there is a central search engine called Sepia Search, which makes it easier to find content on the different instances.
