More here and new law since 2025 looks to be tougher:

They do already don’t they? There are some caveats but broadly speaking it seems you can complain to them.
If curious:
-
Tap quickly twice anywhere on the map, but don’t lift up a finger after the 2nd tap.
-
Move your finger up or down to zoom out or zoom in.

The source article:

Archived:
Three distinct factors are at work here…
…a shared culture that values the privacy of one’s own home
…the planning regimes in all six anglophone countries are united in facilitating objections to individual applications
…Anglophone planning frameworks give huge weight to environmental conservation, yet the preference for low-density developments fuels car-dependent sprawl and eats up more of that cherished green and pleasant land.
The author’s conclusion:
Ultimately, whether the goal is tackling the housing crisis, protecting the environme or boosting productivity, the answer to so many woes in the English-speaking world is to unburden ourselves of our anti-apartment exceptionalism.

- live code music: make music with code in real time
- algorithmic composition: compose music using tidal’s unique approach to pattern manipulation

Interesting, some effort required to keep it on track:
Claude can be very persistent when it really wants to do something. I’ve seen Claude run the contents of a
makecommand whenmakeitself is blocked, or write a Python script to edit a file it’s been told it can’t edit. But hooks at least offer better enforcement than prompting alone.
The author assesses both Tidal and Spotify to be no longer under European influence:
To be clear from the beginning, Spotify was founded in Sweden but now operates within financial structures that place it firmly inside the global Big Tech ecosystem.
Similarly, Tidal was founded in Norway, but it now holds a marginal European market share of less than 1% and is controlled by American capital.
Both now operate within financial and corporate structures that place them outside the European sphere of influence. The cultural and economic centre of gravity is no longer European for these companies.
You’re not wrong to call them out, they have a plan to migrate:
Without meaning to, we would be contradicting the spirit of this newsletter. Something similar happened when we chose to host Choosing Europe on Substack. Regarding that subject we are still working on our own solution which is getting closer. It will likely be ready later in February or in early March.
There was a moment in time where maybe it was qmail:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qmail
Ten years after the launch of qmail 1.0, and at a time when more than a million of the Internet’s SMTP servers ran either qmail or netqmail, only four known bugs had been found in the qmail 1.0 releases, and no security issues.
More on how it was accomplished:

Wow that’s bad. The original idea of standing up, I understand, was to keep the meeting short through physical discomfort and only speak of blockers to progress or ask for help. It is not meant to report status, which can make people feel like they have to continually justify themselves and their work.

The contention is that Mattermost say it’s licensed under AGPL but then they add conditions which are incompatible with that license. So it seems they want to give appearance of AGPL but not give the actual rights that come with it. So therefore it’s not AGPL.

Errors in command substitution e.g. $(cat file) are ignored by ‘set -e’, one example of its confusing nature. It does not force you to all handle errors, just some errors and which ones depends on the code you write.
Have you tried comaps? Once you login to OSM via settings it’s not too bad to edit places directly.
