Das schlimmste, was einem in Berlin passieren kann: eine Gruppe Neulinge in der Dönerbude.

This German meme was just brought to my attention and I feel obligated to reshare it here

Frohe Weihnachten

@icing @bagder fine, fine, but you have to admit it is a very strange licensing requirement

@bagder see, this is why I don't use curl, the weird terms and conditions - I have to give stickers to friends AND grandparents. What if I only want to give them to grandparents and NOT friends?

This month the final Friday of the month (when we traditionally play #fridaygeotrivia) falls on the 26th, which, due to family holiday commitments, is not convenient for geo trivia. So we will take a holiday break this month.

Meanwhile you can quiz yourself on past questions, which can all be found (with answers) over on the blog: https://blog.opencagedata.com/tagged/fridaygeotrivia

BTW - suggestions for geo trivia questions are gladly received (via DM)

Enjoy the holiday break, we will see you in 2026!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Here's the festive listening you've been calling out for.

Our four co-hosts, @freyfogle, @stevenfeldman, Denise McKenzie and @ajggeoger sit down for a retrospective on 2025, key advancements for the geospatial industry, community and more.

Enjoy:

@w_b high risk, no doubt. And yet for some I can’t help but feel it would be an improvement

Habe mich soeben als Organspender registriert, war super einfach, kann ich empfehlen: https://organspende-register.de

Ist auch eine schöne Chance (endlich!) die organrelevante Emojis einzusetzen🫀🫁🧠

Hoffentlich habe ich dadurch keine bösen Anreize geschafft für diejenigen unter euch die immer neidisch auf meine Organe geguckt haben. Bitte Geduld, meine Herrschaften!

@SK53 @amapanda @geomob @harry_wood @derickr I asked the owner of the Sutton Arms if it leads to confusion, and he said "all the time".

So then I asked if he every thought of changing the name, to which the response was "Why should I? He should change his name!"

So here we are.

@amapanda At a @geomob London a few years back @harry_wood and @derickr gave a great talk about pubs in London with the same name and near each other - kicked off by the fact that we often have drinks at the Sutton Arms which is about 300m from the other ... Sutton Arms

@ultrazool same with <marquee> unfortunately.

But there is a simple work around. I just haven't upgraded my browser in over a decade 😎

It's been too long since our last #geoweirdness thread, so today we turn our attention to Egypt 🇪🇬, a land known for its pyramids, pharaohs, and great civilizations.

A bit of geo-flavoured archeological digging turned up some good old-fashioned geographic oddities. Join us in our look at the land of the Nile.

Here's a mini guide on how to bring your website to up-to-date standards! You don't even need to have AI to be an AI company

The holiday season is a time for traditions, and one tradition we are very proud of is our annual (8th year in a row 💪) end of year donation to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

We are a small company, there are others who can give much more, but we are proud to do our part. Many thanks to our loyal customers for again making it possible 🙏
