Get started with the 'edit' button at OpenStreetMap.org. There is a Portuguese community, but I'm not sure where they are most active https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Portugal

Have you already used the 'give feedback' button on Google Maps? I think that's the limit of what they offer. I've heard rumour that adding a business at your address makes it much more findable on Google Maps. But that might be adding misleading information. If Google started using OpenStreetMap data (they probably already do) they would have to attribute the data to the project. The big online shop named after a river has their drivers use OSM maps and they will add your driveway to the map etc themselves sometimes. So your additions to OSM will help you get some deliveries more reliably.

An easy way is to download StreetComplete an app that breaks down contributions into easy questions about things around you.

I got started by just diving in with the editor at OpenStreetMap.org (Green button top left) and building knowledge using the OSM wiki (which is overwhelming at first)

Contributing to OpenStreetMap. I try to bring it up because it would be great to get more contributors to the project, but either I have to explain "It's Wikipedia, but a map" or they come out with misunderstandings about the project that aren't worth correcting. E.g not liking the icons used to display points on the map.

Just a guess... They are both made from bits of a pig.

This is always my worry too. It would be impossible, but I'm curious if ignoring people who act this way would be effective.

My understanding would be that the case only covers whether they broke Fair Use when they created the National Emergency Library (when they started lending out multiple digital copies of one physical book). Although the case going not in their favour would help future case against the one book-one loan policy they currently use. I'd guess as the Internet Archive are US based that any ruling would affect international users the same as US users.

The PineNote won't be in stock until the community of developers figure out a proper Linux based OS for it. I dig through the forums occasionally and they are making progress, but it won't be soon.

I own an Onyx Boox Air, but sadly can't recommend it as Onyx refuse to comply with the Linux kernel license and don't publish their changes. Not only is this a dick move it means custom ROMs and hacking is not likely to happen.

Wilko always had a very distinct smell that I can recall even now, probably years since I've beennin one. Probably a mix of creosote, linoleum and gummy cherries.

No, it does not have this feature, it is very privacy focused so it seems unlikely it would have a feature where tracking individuals is needed.

Is it an unavoidable situation that projects that are run by passionate individuals will burn those people out? Or is their more projects can do to ask those that contribute the most to slow down and not put the work before themselves?

I like where Thunder are going, I've not noticed missing features that others talk about.

Doesn't look like it was cooked for very long or with much sugar. If theres too much water and not enough sugar you don't get the preservation effect.
