What specifically do you like about Winamp? I miss the whacky skins and even more so the Milkdrop 2 visualization system. There are some hacky ways to get it to work for Foobar or AIMP. I haven’t checked what’s the case for Linux media players though.

Sure they don’t. Just be aware that if you’re using public trackers you can appear here, as some of the peers track the IPs that appear in the swarms:

Can you confirm that you have ‘Show Notifications for New Posts’ enabled in your user settings?

Is reddit owned and operated by a malicious entity? I used to be addicted to that platform, but now I can’t stand it.

I wish Lemmy had flairs like the language or reddit flairs so that we can filter out us centric topics.

Have you tried opening an issue with the drivers developers?

Not sure which application you are using, but you can use the transport map layer of OSM and see all the bus stops. Every stop likely already has the tags for bus stop features.
As for Organic Maps, it’s optimized for driving/directions and doesn’t have the advanced features that more redines apps have. That said I love it and enjoy using it for directi9ns.

You can add a traffic layer from GMaps to OsmAnd+:

To be quite honest the routing issue you’re referring to is most likely related to invalid/outdated mapping data, as opposed to the routing algorithm the mapping engine uses to navigate.
The benefit of using OpenStreetMap data for routing is that if you spot a mistake or a route that is incorrectly mapped you can fix it yourself, or leave a note for mapping contributors to examine and resolve. You can also browse the mapping data history and see exactly who and when mapped this region and even contact them if you wish.
OSM supports much more mapping data via tagging, which translates to more accurate driving directions. To err is human, and OSM mappers make mistakes as well, but these can be easily fixed.

Thanks for the reply. I am new here, but here to stay. I want to share what I learn and help other folks as well.

This is such a useful post.
As a lemmy newbie, I see that there is a save functionality, but is there a way to tag posts like these so I can reference them in the future?

Preach

I’m using GrapheneOS for added security and sandboxing, but I feel that this is a bandaid solution.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open-source (open data) project. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping platform that allows users from around the world to contribute, edit, and use geographical data. The data and software behind OSM are open-source, which means they are freely available for anyone to view, use, modify, and distribute under open licenses.

The data contributed to OpenStreetMap islicensed under the Open Database License (ODbL). This license allows for the free use of the data as long as proper attribution is given and any derivative works are also made available under the same open license.

I got addicted to using and contributing on OSM daily and enjoy spending my time improving the map. In fact a lot of closed source maps such as Google Maps and Apple Maps pull from some of the OSM data, so everyone gets to benefit from contributions.

In case you’re looking into this out of curiosity, check out the Beginner’s Guide and try to verify that the data around your neighborhood is correct and maybe add a point of interest (PoI) or a street name or two. Beware, it gets addictive quite fast.

OSM is also used for humanitarian use thanks to the HOT tasking platform. For example the majority of relief effort in Turkey’s February earthquake, Sri Lanka flooding, and the recent Marocco earthquake. Mapping can literally help save lives. It’s fun and easy too!

These two rules caused Usenet to be abandoned by people who were once passionate about being part of the community, and instead taken over by spammers and bots.
