They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

A lot of it was updated with both OSM (imagery via Mapillary) and Google Maps.
While I love the “don’t make Google stronger” stance, the goal wasn’t to help Google but instead to help the people who needed the imagery. And (at the time, at least) most people planned their routes using Google Maps so it was important to meet them where they were.
Whoa I had no idea this happened. I used to be a part of a group that would go in and add street view for places like public transit stations so people could gauge accessibility. It’s such a shame that Google killed that ability…
There’s nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you’re working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.
“Living the dream” is also in the US but it’s usually more sarcastic like “Just another shitty day at this job, just living the dream!”
All of those are widespread in the northeast US if not across the entire US.
Something something “at will employement”? Gotta love most US states…
The smoking absolutely kills me, as someone with asthma who has gotten very used to the fact that most things in the US are non-smoking now. It felt like there was a cloud of smoke basically everywhere I went in France and, to a lesser extent, England.
German cars can’t be locked with the driver’s door open
This is becoming increasingly common is cars produced around the world. I’m a huge fan of it, personally.
German apartments can’t be unlocked if the door is closed
I have no idea what this means. Wouldn’t the door always be closed if it’s locked?
Yup, there are a few towns and cities in MA that do this. Walking diagonally across and all-walk intersection isn’t quite the same as jaywalking, since in those cases you’re allowed to cross (as long as the walk sign is on).
It’s also way safer to have an all-walk intersection so cars stop hitting people on right turns.
I appreciate the law in Massachusetts, USA where jaywalking is so common that the fine was reduced to $1 for the first three times in a year and a whopping $2 for each time after that.
You can’t remove the law, but you can make it silly enough that it’s never enforced.
It’s useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn’t necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it’s potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).
