Remote mapping on OSM is honestly a good time-killer hobby.

Finally finished making the presentation for my talk at MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai. It's about 50 slides and took me 2 weeks to make. The challenging part is to actually cover all of those 50 slides in 30 minutes.

@disaster2life The fuck? I have to give TOEFL next year and just noticed that it costs 18K INR :|

Thanks to @contrapunctus , I unlocked a new addiction: OpenStreetMap mapping

@badrihippo LLMs in a nutshell. A technology nobody asked for

@vaidik_ @praveen @prav yeah those issues are the reason why I moved from Monal to Siskin. Wouldn't mind moving back if these issues get fixed.

@praveen @vaidik_ @prav they closed it as they said it'll be fixed in an upcoming UI rewrite. Let's hope it does

@contrapunctus Makes sense and I never expected organisations to give that much money to contributors lol. I haven't heard about the concept of bursaries and grants until very recently

@contrapunctus @contrapunctus travel grant as in bursary? Where did you apply for it?

@khubsuratinsaan I was prepping for GATE a few months ago and realised how much it was stressing me out and how if I put the same effort into something else I'd do pretty well in life. I dislike how "All roads lead to IIT" too

@khubsuratinsaan At this point I think we need to rename the quote to "All roads lead to IIT" exclusively for Indians

@bittin @opensuse cold? again?

@praveen @vaidik_ @prav Oddly, I cannot find the bug reports for both of those issues like the team mentioned. I'm reinstalling monal to reproduce the bugs and will report it once thats done. I'll also ping you here again with the links,

Just received the confirmation of my talk at MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai 2025. Already in the process of making the presentation material, should be done in a few days if exams don't bother me too much

@praveen @vaidik_ @prav not sure about the battery issue but when I discussed about the "link opening" issue with the monal team they told me that it's an already known issue so I didn't file a bug for it. I'm gonna try and find some open issues for it and let you know soon.

@billchenchina Makes sense. I don't like being at home during vacations either because it gets really boring. I much prefer going out and doing something during that time.

@billchenchina already? I thought there’s still time for Christmas

@praveen @prav @vaidik_ just a heads up. I used Monal on ios for a while and it has some issues that need to be fixed. Firstly it drains a lot of battery overnight as it attempts to reconnect to MUCs all the time even when it’s closed and there’s a serious bug that opens links even if you mis-tap somewhere on the body of a message. These are the reasons why I use Siskin now. I hope the Prav team can fix these issues.
