    I just discovered such nice content. I love maps. But yeah, W3W has many flaws to be that “revolutionary life-saving”

    What tech calls thinking is a book that describes the same mechanisms as the video.

    as a wise person once said “just build a fucking train”

    i hate capitalism so fucking much help me

    but i have to admit, the idea of dividing the world into 3x3 meter squares and annotating each one with three words is a pretty ingenious idea, i really like it, and it’s not too complicated, so in theory someone could make a better version of that without all the flaws rightfully pointed out in the video

      While it was a clever idea, the fundamental flaw with it is that things move around while the squares are meant to represent fixed coordinates.

      Well, she said someone was working on an open source alternative. Unfortunately this lead to closed source doing what closed source do.

      They are whatever they want to be, but what does it matter to you?

        It has cock and balls. It is not whatever it wants to be, it’s a man.
