We have to assume it: most of the potential sponsors for #GDAL are not in Mastodon, but in LinkedIn
@gdal is there as well: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gdalorg

Hey masto, I am looking to purchase a rugged tablet for #GIS applications ( #QGIS, #QField) in #archaeology (mainly to work in caves, where humidity can reach 90%). I am looking for a model that can run Ubuntu (not Windows or Android). Ruggtek seems to sell what I'm looking for (https://www.ruggtek.com/en/product/rtl613/). Do you have any other recommendations? All feedback is welcome! #gischat

Where are #GIS people downloading files for country administrative boundaries these days? I used to use https://gadm.org, but it seems like the downloads are not working anymore. I also tried https://geoboundaries.org, but the files that they have don't align very well at different admin levels for the country I'm looking at (Pakistan).

Ok 4am to 5am is the ranting hour 🤣
...what is it with geospatial engineers and software people and utterly missing the point of rock climbing?
It's not meant to be "made easy by software tools"
Climbing cliffs is a privilege, And extremely hard on multiple levels. Especially unbolted cliffs. Especially new cliffs.
That is the entirety of the point. it is supposed to be hard. Safe outcomes are supposed to arise out of a mentoring driven evolution of multiple skills.
