Let's Map Halal Restaurants on OpenStreetMap (OSM)

Assalamu Alaikum, fellow halal food enthusiasts! Have you ever struggled to find halal restaurants in your city or while traveling? I believe we can make this easier for everyone by mapping halal restaurants on OpenStreetMap (OSM) – a free and open-source platform that allows anyone to contribute and access geographic information. What is OpenStreetMap (OSM)? OSM is like the Wikipedia of maps. It’s created and maintained by a global community of contributors. You can add restaurants, cafes, and even grocery stores that serve halal food so that Muslims everywhere can benefit! Why Map Halal Restaurants? 1⃣ Help Muslims easily find halal food options. 2Create a centralized, global database accessible to everyone. How You Can Contribute: Visit OpenStreetMap and create an account. Add restaurants in your area that serve halal food (make sure to confirm their halal status). Use the tag halal to mark them as halal on the map. Need Help? If you're new to mapping or need assistance, feel free to ask in this thread! There are plenty of tutorials available, and the OSM community is always happy to help. If you're new to osm, let's try these resources: https://ift.tt/lfyaWFc https://learnosm.org Communities: https://ift.tt/XBnMD4t Let’s work together to build a global map of halal food options and make it easier for Muslims around the world to enjoy their meals with peace of mind. JazakAllahu Khair! #HalalFood #OpenStreetMap #HalalRestaurants #MuslimCommunity

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns

Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns 4 by PopAlongKid | 0 comments on Hacker News. For years, I have been obtaining free annual credit reports (annualcreditreport.com) which must be provided by law. Recently, for the first time, when I tried to obtain my Equifax report, I was prompted for an email address and a mobile phone number, a new requirement that apparently cannot be bypassed. The other two bureaus, and Equifax previously, confirmed identity by asking knowledge based questions. They do not need my phone or email for anything. Next, trying to obtain the report by phone instead of web site per instructions, I got to the point where I entered my ZIP code on the phone keypad, the voice menu system correctly repeated the number back to me, but every time I press 1 to indicate it is correct, the system acts like it got an invalid response and only gives me the option to enter further information by voice, not by the phone keypad. Just as with my phone number and email...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media?

Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media? 2 by rglullis | 2 comments on Hacker News. With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services? Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"? Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments. Maybe I am missin...
