A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Fun fact: Poland is also missing in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.

Poland actually is rendered in the internal resource file, but its color index was falsely mapped to water, not land. I actually made patches for Windows 2000, XP and 2003 by just changing Poland's internal resource color to the nearest neighboring countries under the same time zone.

Edit: Also, the screenshot looks like it's actually from Windows 2000, unless someone went with the classic theme on XP.

IIRC Windows XP uses the classic theme during setup, where it asks you to pick your timezone

Hmm, that actually does sound about right.

I wish windows would still look like this. It's a total mess and their dark patterns slowly bleed into their normal usage UI...

Like there are no more engineers... only MBA Idiots (what do they even learn during their "studies")
