I was a bit surprised rent wasn't higher, but I wonder how many of the respondents haven't moved and have rent control, so they aren't affected by rent hikes.

That's a quote from Malaysia's commodities minister, so I don't know if you can trust it. The article also says

The Asian nation is the world's second-largest producer of the widely used commodity, whose production is blamed by environmentalists for fuelling the destruction of the great ape's habitats in both Malaysia and Indonesia.

Can’t speak for other folks, but I always look for a proper bike rack. Seems like good etiquette.

Sure, but when one doesn't exist, I'd prefer to park my bike "improperly" than park at another businesses. Personally I think it's bad etiquette to park at a business I am not going to patronize.

I'm a pretty junior contributor (I spent a couple years completing quests on StreetComplete and only have been adding new buildings, etc for a few weeks). I don't know a ton about how the organization is run, so I can only talk from my experiences. I've been able to upload changes which will be live before they will be reviewed. I know there are reviewers who go through areas regularly, but they definitely don't cover everywhere. I'm not sure if OSM has the ability to lockdown areas with frequent vandalism.

I know this seems like Niantic is free-loading, but this is intentionally-allowed by the ODbL license and honestly, might be a good business decision even without considering the licensing fees. OSM is almost 20 years old and as a community led project, is probably more predictable and stable than a Google license which could change drastically from one contract to the next.

As a OSM contributor, I'm more than happy to see my work used this way, and as @QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world pointed out, OSM has seen a lot of benefit too.

There are similar posts on other subs, but this is from 3 days ago on the same sub.

The Worm is in the Hall of Fame and a unique talent in all of basketball history. His personality is...also unique...so I'm not saying I want to meet him. However, comparing someone so significant to the history of a major sport to someone who will probably be a footnote in US political history is just insulting!

What does this have to do with FOSS?

I experienced this yesterday, maybe 12 hours ago? So not just in the last few hours.

I too want HSR, but it's unfair to compare the time of an express train to one making multiple stops.
