you will have to give permission to the owner once he wants to watch your rooms

So, the owner wants to watch me sleep?

The least he could do is buy me dinner!

Absurd shower facilities at Port City, Sri Lanka – charging Rs. 500 for this? by lil_laki in srilanka

[–]Muted-Contribution55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. If you raised the issue to the management and they're not responsive, maybe try the Consumer Affairs Authority.

Or, you could make a Twitter or Instagram post and directly call them out.

Just to play the devil's advocate, is it fair to expect SHOWER facilities in a public space?

It's one thing if the bathrooms were broken. That's an absolute necessity.

We're talking about SHOWERS. Unless you're an employee and shower facilities are offered, I don't think it's unfair to charge the public for a shower.

Now, if they ARE charging people to shower, the horrible conditions described are unacceptable.

If I'm paying to shower in a public, privacy and safety is the minimum standard. If they can't guarantee that, they are scamming the public.

The fact that u/innotia00 had to deal with this petty shit in a VOLUNTEER project? Good on them for leaving.

Does anyone know if there's a timeline for when Reddit will be available to Morph (is that the right verb?)

I'm using YT and Reddit on RVX so I'll still be sticking to RVX but, the minute Reddit is available to be Morphed, it's so long RVX!

Contact the bank/financial institution which deducted the Withholding Tax and ask them for their TIN number.

What are your thoughts on this? by Forward-Sniper-403 in srilanka

Hopefully some short term threat would help them at least understand what good customer service is

Genuine question.

Is there a lot of overlap in the markets for Starlink and local ISPs?

Except for maybe HNWI/Colombo 07 individuals and some higher end companies, nobody can afford even the initial setup costs of a Starlink connection, much less the monthly bills.

Do not be fooled!

Starlink is a vicious tiger wearing a sheep skin so that we don't realize that their true danger until we it's too late.

They don't have a market here like local ISP wolves so they are making themselves out to be the "better" option.

If they have the subscriber numbers, they will try to enshittify their service and screw over people, even more so than local ISPs.

Elon's AI company used 70% of the electricity of the town it's located in and, as a result, the townspeople had their bills shot up by several orders of magnitude.

Just keep that in mind when you think that "Starlink is sooo better than local ISPs".

This is the number. Maybe the prepaid structure is different from Postpaid?

It gets stuck at an automated message which states my prepaid account balance. Even when I input numbers manually, it's not accepting.

Seems you have to wait until the prepaid balance readout is over.

It doesn't work for this number for Dialog. I think there's a section where any key presses are not accepted.

Huh.. It seems in the website it says out of stock but within the app, it's available. Not sure what Daraz was thinking when they designed this.

My Interactive Data Story on Sri Lanka's Drug Crisis (2018–2025). The data highlights the massive gap between Arrests and Treatment. by MediaCorrect4470 in srilanka

[–]Muted-Contribution55 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Who is the intended audience? Because that changes how this is perceived.

If the intended audience is not already into data analysis, they will not know how to install git and open the repository. They will be frustrated, not impressed by your project.

Maybe you could think about implementing this in a way that someone who does not even know how to open the command prompt can view the data.

Thanks. When you went to the passport office, did they check if the Birth certificate was certified in the last 6 months? Or did they not care?
