Interesting to see that you choose to focus so much on the hurt and the pain. All I’m trying to say is that I don’t think the psychological aspect is beneficial for Ukraine, rather the opposite…

If that’s your view of the world, then sure, it makes sense to bomb everything and cause as much death and destruction. I prefer a more positive view of the future though, happier life and all that

Legitimate attacks or not, they will radicalize Russians more and provide fuel for Russia’s propaganda machine in the same way that Russian attacks on Ukrainian schools, apartment complexes, hospitals, etc have stengthened Ukrainian resolve.

Using such attacks to destroy infrastructure, supply lines, etc to reduce Russian effectiveness at the frontlines seems fair enough to me, but using it as a psychological tool to convince Russians that they’re on the wrong side is completely moronic imo and ignores a lot of historic evidence that terror just doesn’t work that way.

They show in the article that Wildberries sells body armor which is clearly in the category of military/dual use. That doesn’t address your point about proportionality though, nor do I think it can be addressed easily without proper data backing up the claims. It’s on Ukraine though to provide that data to make it clear to the world that they’re attacking legitimate targets and not committing war crimes, especially with the deaths of quite a few civilians.

In Organic Maps (or CoMaps) it’s easy to add or edit places (nodes) such as small things like trash cans or benches, or bussinesses. This is great to do, adding details helps the community.

But other things are not so easy such as roads and paths. You can always leave a note, so more experienced mappers can make the actual edit. Most of the time they’re limited by (lack of) local knowlegde, so providing that is definitely helpful.

Fyi, with apps like StreetComplete you can add pictures to your comments. This is even more useful for a remote mapper!

Especially awesome is that they don’t only show up in the renderer. With apps like CoMaps you can also search for things like ‘bench’, ‘water’ (or ‘water fountain’/‘water tap’) or ‘toilet’, then ‘View on map’ to see every result nearby. These details are why I love OpenStreetMap. It can be a bit annoying though that you need to know the exact term to search for since most interfaces don’t have some kind of smart interpretation of your search.
