#openstreetmap never stops impressing me!
In the area where I live, where there is almost no data on Google Maps (took 2 years for them to put our house on the map), OSM has lots of details, such as ski trails and football fields.

See image, comparing OSM to Google Maps:

"My July 15 story observed there were strong indications that the people involved in the Twitter hack have connections to SIM swapping, an increasingly rampant form of crime that involves bribing, hacking or coercing employees at mobile phone and social media companies into providing access to a target’s account." - Developers of so many services think that phone number means anything for authentication, it is concerning.

@drq Most Toughbooks have it but they're bloody expensive. Unless you buy a 10 years old one in which case it will have an EDGE modem - or CDMA if it was imported from USA :)

please donate blood 

@kranfahrer

In the UK you can - at least based on my 2 years experience - donate at most 2-3x per year. But the donation centers are always fully booked, at least in my area, so there's no shortage of donors. Also I've noticed on my first visit they drew 200 ml, but last time almost half liter, probably because I'm quite tall so technically should have more blood overall 😃

@TonyStark @stux

please donate blood 

@kranfahrer

100% support, I just donated a month ago or so! 🔴

@TonyStark @stux

please donate blood 

The blood will be scarce due to the covid19 high level. That's why I share this again for everyone.

You may be able to help a people of colored, LGBTQ-people or someone with c19. People with cancer, hemophilia and accident victims are also often helped.

A donation is not painful and usually takes ¼h + ½h rest. At the moment, stocks are scarce due to C19!

You should be healthy for donation.

💓Thank @TonyStark and @stux for sharing.

While @google face US lawmakers we must remember its dominance in the advertising world translates into real privacy intrusion, even if you don't have a Google account.

🇬🇧 Lancaster Uni is asking to fill a social distancing survey for their research (UK only). Anonymous, took me literally 3 mins.

"Google dedicates almost half of the first page of results to its own products"

Impressive study and website! The average publisher is full of advertising, CTAs and several MBs of external scripts. This one is simple, fast to load and clean 👍

Student of mine is conducting a survey on the barriers to uptake of alternative social media platforms. Your input would be much appreciated. Please boost.

While the CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google are preparing to answer for their companies’ practices before U.S. Congress @HouseJudiciary tomorrow, how about they also prepare to detail their exact dealings with governments and police?
