This is satellite imagery. Its common for this to be outdated af, especially outside of EU/US. It costs A LOT to process these compared to just switching a single label in a database.

If there's anything to worry about it's that MS will stop providing aerial imagery to https://www.hotosm.org/ as it seems they slowly give up on Bing maps altogether. Cool they atl donated em so far.

> Momentic invited you to work together

so apparently they automatically hand over your email to Slack to contact you upon login even tho I don't remember this being mentioned anywhere at all. I went to check the Momentic settings and theres a Notifications section with Slack turned off...

used my public email so idc but others may

And can I connect them to a custom server if I wanted to / how locked down will be the sw running on them?

it started typing backward on firefox lol (resetting cursor to the beginning after every typed character)

after i managed to actually type Hello it did 25 web searches and responded in likely to be Mandarin, I didn't care checking. Likely their web harness just sucks.

uh, also writing it next to cc sounds like a dumb idea, as it makes it a bit of a legal hell? like as long as its not an explicit exception to the cc license like llvm does with their license this seems pretty ambiguous what license really applies here
