I was active - and I mean ACTIVE - on reddit for well over a decade. When the API fiasco happened, I deleted my mobile apps, and stuck to desktop. When ‘opt out of selling your data’ became impossible, I logged out for good.

Lemmy is both better and worse than reddit ever was. It will likely never reach the same activity level, but will also not reach the same toxicity.

Sadly, Via Rail won’t get me to Brighton in time for my friend’s wedding.

I’m flying out later this week. First big trip since the start of COVID, and the focus of the trip is the wedding of a dear friend.

Timing and price led us to Air Canada over Westjet this time, but it’s a crapshoot; a day later and we might have booked Westjet, in which case we’d be royally fucked right now.

I still support the mechanics on this one. Companies will ALWAYS bargain in bad faith, if they have the opportunity; and getting government arbitration has become the latest version of bad faith bargaining.

This strike may be truly illegal. It will definitely inconvenience a lot of people. It may, over time, lead to the downfall of Westjet (I have cheap headphones here from Canada 3000, Canadian, and a few others - it can happen!).

I don’t fucking care.

The mechanics didn’t cause this shitshow, they only chose when to act against the shitshow created by the billionaires. This is the fault of Alexis van Hoensbroech and his board of directors. If you miss a flight or a trip of a lifetime because of the strike, remember that: Ten executives at Westjet who EACH make more annually than a mechanic will see in his lifetime have decided not to let those mechanics keep up with inflation.

There is zero incentive for businesses to negotiate in goods faith…

There. That is ALL that needs be said.

Good.

Bring it on! Let them sue, let them lose, and let them be forced to pay damages to the students.

I fucking hope the students can raise the money to make this a big case that destroys the University’s leadership.

Yeah, same thought here. Even more revealing (damning?) Is the fact that it was written by ‘staff.’

I see this style more and more, and they always serm to be written by generic ‘staff.’

Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture was that her son made her a crown, and she was proudly rockin’ it.

2 is for 2-spirit; I’ve seen both 2 and 2S, but either way it refers to Indigenous 3rd-gender folks.

Let’s cut to the chase.

This bill, and many like it, are created with a clear purpose: to subjugate women. Harming the LGBTQ2+ community is almost secondary, since they can do that just fine already.

They’re terrorists.

Not activists, terrorists.

Sorry, but a shithead losing support doesn’t qualify as news.

You don’t need an app for that, just replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the URL.

PfFt. Amateur level stuff!

And that’s not the limit, either.

Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.

I mean…no shit?

Nobody cares anymore.

As frustrating as this may be, it’s even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!

directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it’s not in their IDE, they really don’t understand it.

Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.

Really?

The PDF contains the information. The screenshot contains a picture of the information.

It’s a tree vs. a picture of a tree. A recording vs. a live performance.

OK, I thought that was funny.

Of course we’re not. The only person taking them seriously is Poilievre, and that’s strictly as voters to be conned.
