I agree. This website has been very useful and encouraging on my language learning journey.

Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"? by TheNumberOfGeese in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Technically, no, as in the UK, you can't steal electricity... you can only abstract electricity, which is an offence in its own right. (IANAL)

I'll get my coat.

British gas starts to turn off Hive smart home devices forever by TheNumberOfGeese in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

I was so annoyed to get that email. Never using them again. Going to install a non-smart wireless thermostat, or maybe a HA install if I'm feeling brave.

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap? by TheNumberOfGeese in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It brings me a lot of joy to contribute to OSM. I haven't written anything other than the occasional script for years, so it feels good to help the community in ways like this instead.

I've sunk so many hours into it. Either "armchair mapping" with OSM and the imagery overlays, or (more fun) wandering with the android Street Complete app to fill in gaps when I'm out and about.

This thread about the most northerly The North sign might be of interest, and possibly even help :)
