Disaster Response Imagery Open Satellite Imagery from Maxar, Capella, Umbra, and Wyvern.

lots of images coming in from Vantor and Capella for the #melissa #hurricane #disaster #disasterreposnse

It's like I'll have to rework the back end infrastructure for mapping disasters... Maybe a good excuse to test out #duckdb

first images coming out from Maxar -

empty map showing no open data satellite bounding boxes over jamaica

where is the open commercial satellite data for #melissa #Jamaica ? I mean maybe my script is broken 🤷 - we can only hope that's it #gis #opendata #disasters #disasterresponse

Maxar did release before imagery but nothing new yet...

wow - are these from maxar/vantor tech? Not seeing them in their open data STAC catalog...

web map print export

Is it possible to have high quality printed maps from mapbox/maplibre...of course it is! If you want to get inspired for your next open source project, come check out my talk on Wednesday at #FOSS4GNA on one city's ongoing transition to an open source GIS solution.

It's almost time for #foss4gna and I have yet to promote my talk. Need inspiration for that next conversation from proprietary to open source GIS, come check me out on Wednesday! #postgres #mapbox #maplibre #docker

#duckdb and #deckgl have come a long way, amazing what can be done directly in the browser @developmentseed.org developmentseed.org/spatial-acce...

this is how easily facts can be spun - using the term "deeply divided" when the percentages are 60/40 is a complete joke - "Americans are deeply divided on Donald Trump. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that only 40% approved of his performance as president, while 58% disapproved." from the #bbc

this scene will become a classic and surprised it's not used more in this context - "Which America?"

Ever since X became a dumpster fire and moving to bsky I still have not found that awesome feed that once scrolled across my phone in the prime days of twitter, beautiful maps and trending news...maybe I'm just not following the right people or social media or people's use of it has just changed 🤷

I mean I wish I had the spare time to put together a clean social media ready, interactive or image of a map every day for a month, yes it's a cool idea but something about has always felt out of touch to me.

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

It's quotes like this that the right loves - "Progressive" idols preaching the lie about left-wing extremism, when "...right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for [...] approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001."

It's not about free speech - it was never about free speech.

cool - nice to see domain verification via handles @bsky.app

Curious if companies that index data in STAC are also (only) exporting to stac geoparquet or if this is something you would first generate as an end user.

got it working on my old Android SMT-320 tablet!

monotone radar weather map

added lines for the medium-level precipitation, and black for the red heavy precipitation levels -

Hard part is distinguishing between dark green, dark blue and dark red...still working on ideas here, though where the dark areas are inside the radar image sort of hint at which type they are. The simple all grayscale version should be online soon.

testing out my weather radar map-to-image for use in the TRMNL Image plugin - coming along nicely! @usetrmnl.com #nws #gis #maplibre
