It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case

Unless it's at the bottom of a bag you haven't used in months.
Might be good still, but it's likely smushed
I was looking for it myself, it's in the works!

It looks like my area/city has GTFS support, so it should work once implemented. You could check the list for your location too
Why doesn’t a defibrillator work?
In movies (and mostly cartoons), it's often used as a solution to any 'death', so it's more just misleading
- For the heart to pump blood, the muscles need to contract in a specific pattern. This is coordinated by a part of the heart using a form of electricity.
- When these contractions get out of sync and blood stops being pumped (ex. certain types of heart attacks), we can use a defibrillator/AED to get everything in sync again.
- If that is not the cause of the cause of the problem, the defibrillator wont' work.
If you are still experiencing issues, consider using Organic Maps ~~in the meantime~~. It works just as well as Google Maps for a lot of tasks, and it uses OSM data
If you want to help update the data, see this other app StreetComplete
Thanks! Saved :)
1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.
Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of "content" that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn't a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.
I've mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.
Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don't have an incentive to stop it.
2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.
Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.
Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.
It'll be an arm's race, but it wouldn't be impossible.

Educational apps for children: What parents and educators should look for and ignore

The article doesn't make any recommendations, but rather what to look for /avoid.

Relevant sections:
What to ignore
- User ratings & reviews:
Popular EduApps in Apple’s and Google’s app stores typically have very positive ratings (above four stars). Yet, experts still raise concerns about their quality and expert-approved apps do not necessarily receive the highest star ratings. Written reviews are rarely more informative. Research shows most reviews simply praise apps rather than explaining specific features. [...]
- Apple or Google rankings
Educators and parents may visit an app store’s “top charts” lists to find EduApps. Yet, how Apple’s and Google’s algorithms determine which apps “top the charts” is unclear. [...]
- Recommendations from app review websites
Educators and parents might look to external app review websites like Common Sense Media for recommendations. But research shows many of the apps recommended by these websites still need substantial improvement [...]
What to look for
- Curriculum: What apps teach
At the bare minimum, EduApps must include content that is covered in an established learning program. Yet, many EduApps are what researchers call “educational misfits” because they are only weakly related to education, if at all. Look for apps that clearly state which curriculum their content is based on (for example, a particular provincial curriculum, a supplemental curriculum for learning an Indigenous language) or detail the content (suitable for grades 1–3 math). Don’t bother with an app that doesn’t tell you what it covers.
- Learning theory: How apps teach
[...] Look for apps that describe how they teach. Choose ones using approaches that align with your needs.
- Scaffolding: How apps support learning
EduApps should include supports that help children build their understanding and accomplish learning goals. These supports (called scaffolding) can include hints or instructions when children get stuck and breaking down complex tasks into smaller chunks or adapting difficulty to match children’s abilities. [...]
- Feedback: How apps correct learning
If we want children to learn from their mistakes, feedback is essential. Look for apps that give children informative feedback so they know where they went wrong and why.
- Educational expertise: Who made the app
Many app developers are not education experts, and their priorities may not align with those of educators and parents. [...]

I think the description makes it even better lol

What is something Linux related that you've learned recently?
As a meta question, could this work as an additional (or alternate) recurring discussion question? It felt similar in intent, to encourage people to keep learning / asking questions and chances are that if someone learned something then others will benefit from the information (or correct them)
