       Capturing a link to [Obsidian Map View Plugin](https://github.com/esm7/obsidian-map-view), since it came up in discussion. Open source, uses [[OpenStreetMap]] and open map tiles for search and display.

       My exploration on [[Boris Map]] is mostly for [[FoodWiki]] purposes. I use basic tagging for notes pages if I want to capture e.g. that a person entry is in _Vancouver_.

       The [Perplexity AI summary of 'what is OpenStreetMap?'](https://www.perplexity.ai/search/What-is-OpenStreetMap-2pVFODzPR8OVT0OC6sZc7A?s=u) is pretty good. Cites sources and summarizes and synthesizes. I didn't add this to my notes entry for [[OpenStreetMap]] directly, but did link the source web pages and quote text from the sources.

       Brought to my attention by [@django@cosocial.ca's post](https://cosocial.ca/@Django/111811943859262877) linking to [Michael Geist's article on Bill S-210](https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2024/01/site-blocking-and-age-verification-for-twitter-instagram-snap-and-twitch-age-verification-lobby-confirms-it-wants-bill-s-210-to-cover-all-social-media-sites/), and that it may apply to the fediverse as well:

       > the unlimited scope of the Canadian law to sites such as Twitter, Snap, Instagram, Twitch and many others is no accident. If the lead lobby group behind the legislation gets its way, it is the stated goal of Bill S-210 to require all Canadians to undergo an age verification system in order to access content on general purpose sites with the threat of penalties and site blocking awaiting those sites that refuse to comply.

       [[Antikythera]] is "a think tank reorienting planetary computation as a technological, philosophical, and geopolitical force". They have a new working group starting up on [Futures of Multipolar Computation](https://antikythera.org/hemispherical-stacks#fmc). Multidisciplinary researchers are invited to apply.
