I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It’s satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to “be right” on the internet.

    If I view source I get “phrase not found” on a search for “Jawg” . It also doesn’t show up in Firefox’s Inspector, which I _think_ includes dynamically loaded stuff.

    Just checked Chrome and Microsoft Edge and they don’t show it either. What are you using to actually get the detail?

    I wouldn’t mind F-Droid’s warning if they gave me the details, but for some reason they don’t seems to be accessible to me.

      I don’t know how you’d get round the dev using his own site to pre-process (already published) data or host a list of “banned versions” with bugs that could corrupt data. You can’t really choose to have a different developer on the fly.

      Maybe you could let people chose a different host for a published photo, but I think if there were privacy respecting ones that easily allowed that the dev probably would have use those instead?

      i am using the F-Droid “app” (currently 1.20.0), not a browser now. But i asumed css or such could be a cause as sometimes nonvisible content is behind some bad (ad?) layer. i thought i had seen such infos also on their website, but that is then too long ago and i might just be wrong with that.

      maybe you can only get that info from the app which would feel a bit like an anti feature *haha

          good to know.

          well, for me already using the fdroid app obviously that issue still beeing open is not a big concern.

          however they could build the app with little extra code so that it would output that information for every app and push it to their website in a readable format, but pls don’t comment on why exactly thats a bad idea *hehe
