Canadian software engineer living in Europe.
I think he meant that if the US had just taken the entire continent rather than having to share it with Canada, they would have been even more ruthless in their genocide than we were.
He’s probably right, but saying it that way betrays how truly broken his worldview is.
FUCK YEAH! LET’S DO SOME MOTHERFUCKING SPACE STUFF!*
*To be clear, I say this unironically.
Lemme guess: still no assistance for purchasing e-bikes or cargo bikes?
I keep seeing Zulip tossed around as an alternative, but I don’t know what’s up with their licencing. There’s also Framateam, but I think that might just be Mattermost as a service.
Matrix would be great if it wasnt so user-hostile, but it is :-(
A rebate sounds like a positively insane idea. It’s just a corporate subsidy with extra steps.
If you want to lower prices, you can’t give people money to give to the oligopolies. You have to break up the oligopolies, regulate the hell out of them, and send some people to prison for price fixing.
No. It will not help. Maybe in a competitive market it might, but Canada has been nursing an oligopoly for decades now, and oligopolies set their own prices based on what the public will tolerate.
Lowering prices requires either (a) breaking up the giants, or (b) offering a publicly-run alternative that somehow bypasses the vertically integrated supply chain.
Emily Lowan has a great hashtag she’s running called the #FightTheOligarchs tour and it’s really well done. Never in a million years would I have expected a media game so smooth from the BC Greens.
Avi Lewis’s account is pretty new, but honestly from what I’m setting, he could learn a thing or two from Lowan’s feed.
Ooh! I wrote something for this… back in 2018:
This is sarcasm, right? It’s hard to tell sometimes.
This is the only correct answer here. You want drivers to slow down? Stop building big, wide, straight roads. You need to add curves with trees and barriers, narrow the lanes, and (gasp!) even remove some lanes. Everything else is theatre.

The headline is rather vague and seems to buy much of what’s said in the actual article: that the cops raided this dude’s home and charged him with obstruction when he got upset that they were raiding his home and stealing his shit.
Among the things they made off with as “evidence”: computers, t-shirts, a fridge magnet, and a keffiyeh (that scarf traditionally made in Palestine). There’s no mention in the article that this dude was anything other than a peaceful activist campaigning for a free Palestine.
Edit: I just read the arrest report and it’s pretty standard cop overreach stuff. They raided his home, took his computers, thumb drives, etc. and the worst thing they found were “Plans indicating how to cause property damage during the protest;” and smoke bombs.
Definitely a true danger to the public. Best we lock him up so we can get back to bombing children.
“Tension”
Motherfucker invaded a sovereign nation and kidnapped its leader.
If she’s “bleeding money” she can sell one of the seven units she owns.
Ooh! Has anyone managed to do this with Majel Barrett’s (the Enterprise computer) voice yet?
Basically the IP stops responding to any traffic. At one point I set up a constant ping, and every once in a while I got something like “destination host unreachable”. It doesn’t happen often enough for me to move the service onto a physical device though. That’s work and I’m tired like, a lot.
I installed a Pi-Hole largely to serve as a local DNS, but enabled the ad-blocking 'cause it seemed silly not to. My wife got very upset. Apparently she likes the ads.
With that aside though, it seems to work quite well. Just make sure to (a) use a reasonably-powered device (my Pi Zero appears to be taxed by it) and you should probably use an Ethernet connection 'cause my Pi Zero regularly flakes out so DNS requests fail due to the IP being “unreachable” for a half second.
What about “aluminium”?
From a read of that issue, it looks like it never was.
