  • If they're well-received, I would say see if the students/staff naturally come to explore or suggest other options

    Some projects still need time to mature and overplaying your hand can reverse some of that goodwill (which is more FOSS acceptance than I ever saw in my school days)

  • YSK: You can continue to access most subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle
  • Any specific service you've seen doing this?

    I've not experimented as much with cloud providers or non-American companies so not yet sure if this is a byproduct of industry practice, market pressures on public companies or legal requirements and counter examples could help

    I should also point out the good: many of them (like Netflix) are very open about how cancelation works once one goes to that section of their site

  • YSK: You can continue to access most subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle

    Amazon Prime is particularly heinous about using dark patterns to confound users into risking forgetting but ultimately you've already paid for the month, year

    I can confirm this to also be the case with most streaming giants plus the less-giant Shutter

    Edit: comments have pointed out some notable exceptions such as services through Apple and HP Instant Ink

    Minimum and award wages to rise 3.5 per cent from July
  • Once again, I am asking any random Aussie for help: What is an "awards wage"?

    I thought it'd be akin to a tipped minimum wage but it sounds more like an alternate floor for various industries but I can't find anything explaining it plainly

  • [SOLVED] Any luck/experience contributing more bike-friendly roads to Google Maps

    I thought this would be dead simple but trying to label a road as "bike-friendly" isn't as intuitive as one would hope (am I "adding" a road even though it's technically there or reporting "wrong info" piece by piece?)

    Made this PRAW script to ensure my Reddit data is cleared before deactivating. I sure hope a bunch of people don't run it during the last few days of free API access...

    Made this PRAW script to ensure my Reddit data is cleared before deactivating. I sure hope a bunch of people don't run it during the last few days of free API access...

    You'll need to update the praw.Reddit() parameters and set booleans to True based on what you want to have cleared.

    This also overwrites your comments with nonsense content seeing as Reddit doesn't really delete your comments if nobody forces them

    Sorry about the amateurish Python, this isn't my go-to language

    ``` import praw

    #Update all values set to XXXXXX and set boolean values to True for whatever you'd like to clear

    reddit = praw.Reddit( client_id="XXXXXX", client_secret="XXXXXX", user_agent="script running locally", #required for PRAW but not sure content matters username="XXXXXX", password="XXXXXX" )

    #booleans delete_posts = False delete_comments = False delete_saved = False clear_votes = False unsubscribe = False

    def get_posts(): return reddit.user.me().submissions.new(limit=100)

    def get_comments(): return reddit.user.me().comments.new(limit=100)

    def get_subscriptions(): return reddit.user.subreddits()

    def get_saved_items(): return reddit.user.me().saved(limit=100)

    def get_upvoted(): return reddit.user.me().upvoted(limit=100)

    def get_downvoted(): return reddit.user.me().downvoted(limit=100)

    while(clear_votes): count = 0 upvotes = get_upvoted() downvotes = get_downvoted() for vote in upvotes: try: vote.clear_vote() count += 1 print('Clearing vote for: ', vote) except Exception as e: print('Could not clear vote due to: ', e, '(this is normal for archived posts)') continue for vote in downvotes: try: vote.clear_vote() count += 1 print('Clearing vote for: ', vote) except Exception as e: print('Could not clear vote due to: ', e, '(this is normal for archived posts)') continue if(count == 0): clear_votes = False

    while(delete_saved): count = 0 saved_items = get_saved_items() for item in saved_items: item.unsave() count += 1 print('Unsaved item ID: ', item) if(count == 0): delete_saved = False

    while(delete_posts): count = 0 posts = get_posts() for post in posts: print("Deleting submission: ", post) post.delete() count += 1 if(count == 0): delete_posts = False

    #Replace comments with nonsense data first as Reddit only "marks comments as" deleted while(delete_comments): count = 0 comments = reddit.user.me().comments.new(limit=1000) print("Replacing comments with nonsense data") for comment in comments: comment.edit('So long and thanks for all the fish') print("Deleting comments") for comment in comments: comment.delete() count+=1 if (count == 0): delete_comments = False

    while(unsubscribe): count = 0 subscriptions = get_subscriptions() for subreddit in subscriptions: subreddit.unsubscribe() count += 1 print('Unsubscribed from: ', subreddit.display_name) if (count == 0): unsubscribe = False

    print('--finished--') ```
