i think one of the things i like about sumo is that there's all these ways in which it's not optimised and won't be optimised because it's not about that
i mean it's not that it's not commercial because of course it is, and it's not because it's unchanged since whenever because of course it is, and it's not because of HONOURRRRRR or some shit because if you know anything about it you most certainly know better than that and if you don't then trust me, it's not but

I seem to have attracted the attention of someone claiming to be involved with the Recall team on the ex/long-term MSFT group

a trivial way to exempt your entire current session leaving no trace you did that, telling users how to do it literally every time - the entire session must vanish
either per-app opt-in or windows-defender-like maintained lists of apps not to record without direct user intervention, e.g. Signal
not one byte EVER hits storage without strong encryption, NOT EVER, and I gave him an easy and long-extant Microsoft technology way to do that
Okay so with no show stoppers appearing, I've dropped Greater Northshore BIke Map 1.2 - Late May 2024, which shows bike infrastructure and adds preferred non-infrastructure routes between the Seattle and the new Eastside 2 Line Bike Connector maps.
It covers Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Juanita, parts of north Redmond that the 2 Line leaves out, and a decent chunk of unincorporated NE King County.
Next up will be a revision of the MEGAMAP, a map that pastes together the Greater Northshore map and the two others into one big poster-sized beast.
After the MEGAMAP update, there probably really will be a big break, since infrastructure additions don't show up overnight. But I'm always looking for new data, so please give it to me if you have some!
