They're all interconnected too so one goes off they ALL go off and it's everybody's favourite game WHICH SCREAMING MONSTER CONTROLS THE OTHER SCREAMING MONSTERS?
I seem to have attracted the attention of someone claiming to be involved with the Recall team on the ex/long-term MSFT group
he agrees my many critiques are valid and asked for mitigations other than "don't."
i gave him a short list to start:
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!
This version adds heatmap-sourced non-bike-infrastructure routes that people use anyway as a new class, in Seattle-style green. Think of them as demand paths.
I think they're worth adding because they tell people: yes, people use these fragments of infrastructure; this is how they connect together. This is where people actually go.
Also more dirt trails, a little more road-level infrastructure - minor stuff - and an improved legend.
The attached is at reduced resolution because that's what Mastodon does. But it's okay.
So yeah, I guess it's finished! I've put the third wheel into the bike accessories drawer, I've put the cargo cover I sewed onto the higher-accessibility accessories shelf (first order retrieval is my friend), and ...
yeah! I guess we're done!
(Well... other than maybe sewing a reflector onto the cargo cover. It's pretty damn visible with that safety orange cover, but... just to be sure. xD )
@pokeypoke I do! There are multiple sellers of such things on eBay and Amazon! This one in particular (which is fine so far, I mean, it's just bungee cord) I got with credit union rewards points here:
(my current measurement was “go down to Albertsons and grab one bundle of fresh off the produce rack and dry all of it.” it was two rounds in my dehydrator.)
