There was basically no opposition, that’s how. People were sick of the Liberals and their new leader was hide-and-seek champ, and nobody really takes the NDP seriously in Ontario.

This makes no fucking sense - They just finished putting these bike lanes in on big stretches of Bloor and University. These streets are always under construction, it makes no sense to just undo years of work. Did people not drive here before the bike lanes? Cyclists are still going to use these streets and be veering into traffic, blocking that supposed second lane. The second was always blocked with parked cars on Bloor anyways. The bike lane made driving easier and cycling way safer. It was win-win.

The result is going to be driving is going to be way worse on these streets and cyclists are going to die because of this decision. It’s also hugely regressive. You should not be driving across Bloor or down Yonge or University to traverse these streets, because there’s literally subways under all of three of them.

It’s just such piss poor management. The more decisions I see Doug Ford make, the more I see the image of that stupid fucking Ferris wheel Rob Ford wanted to put on our waterfront. Dumb ideas run in the family, apparently.

edit: we have to elect smarter people who aren’t going to play these stupid culture wars games and waste our own money doing it. Doug Ford’s strategy here is to set up a fight with Olivia Chow in preparation for an early election next year, because he knows the “surburbs vs. Toronto elites” narrative plays well with his base. It remains to be seen if the city can/will meaningfully fight back against this or if our mayor is just going to give us lip service, because she still benefits from this conflict by being on the other side politically.

I want to second Pelican for Python. Really easy to set up and get going. No need to learn a complicated templating language (it’s jinja2, which is what everything uses).

yeah, but it’ll be hard to make those Y Combinator vultures rich at that price

That’s the bare minimum requirements needed to live in Toronto as a human, lol

No, I don’t think so.

Tinc has weird limitations and Wireguard completely obsoletes it. There’s zero reasons to ever consider using Tinc when Wireguard exists.

How are the alternatives any better? Download a DEB that executes arbitrary code, signed with some .asc that’s sitting in the same webserver? Download an EXE?

Your comment is so rambley that I can’t understand whether you’re criticizing the distribution method or the packaging. Both of those are very different in terms of attack surface, if you’re talking about supply chain attacks.

The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it’s the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It’s just great, perfect length.

The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It’s just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.

I could be wrong here, but I think the common interpretation here is wrong. The risk is not that the wires overheat and cause a fire. The risk is that the card draws too much current from a single 12V power rail on your PSU, sustained for a long time, and that burns out the power rail on your PSU.

I have a 6950 XT that I used with a 850W PSU that was connected incorrectly according to the diagram, with multiple connectors coming off a single rail. After about 6 months, one day my SSD stopped working, and after some tinkering, I realized that if I plugged it into a different 12V connector, it started working! I had burned out one of the 12V rails on my power supply, and I strongly suspect it was my incorrect wiring into my 6950 XT that caused it. (edit: I got a new PSU and never looked back)

Ford, Stellantis, GM, Honda, Toyota: source (click “Made in Canada”). Both countries assemble many cars where parts are made in the US/Canada/Mexico (see: NAFTA/CUSMA aka USMCA)

edit: also for context, auto manufacturing is a big political football here in Ontario, with politicians always announcing funding and looking for photo ops around it because they’re big employers in manufacturing

Come to Toronto lol

Same thing happens when you put on spandex apparently

The thing is, nothing gets done unless the government regulates it. The industry would just keep pumping out ICE vehicles. The only reason we have EVs at all is because most car companies saw the writing on the wall about the very necessary phaseout of ICE and knew this would be legislated sooner or later. I fully expect EVs will have either great range or super fast charging by 2035 because the market will be there to support it. (Regulating is solves the chicken and the egg problem - it guarantees demand so it de-risks investing in EV tech for the entire supply chain.)

It just moves the pollution to places you don’t see it, like power plants, rare metal mines

The thing is, many places already have power that is free of CO2 emissions and mines are not huge CO2 emitters (afaik).

As a case point: In Toronto, 30% of our emissions are from vehicles, 60% from buildings (natural gas heating mostly). If we ran all EVs, that 30% emissions from vehicles would be eliminated because nearly all our power either comes from hydro dams or nuclear power plants. And there’s no shortage of power either - we have loads of excess capacity at night, when everyone would charge their cars.

I think you’re getting downvotes because you’re misinformed about the cost/benefits of EVs and the broader important (and urgency) of reducing carbon emissions. It’s such a critical and urgent challenge that we have to tackle this to avoid huge impacts on our economies due to heating of the climate (crop failures, flooding, more severe weather, erosion, wildfires, etc.).

This has nothing to do with protecting Canadians and everything to do with protecting big business

I think what no politician wants to admit is that car industry is a strategically important industry and has to be protected for geopolitical reasons alone. We need the manufacturing capability to maintain our industrial base as a hedge against any future conflict. (I lump it in with why you need domestic milk and food production, vaccine production, etc. When the going gets tough, you need that.)

That said, I do feel the bailouts from 2009/2010 were total horseshit and these companies got off scot-free. They’ve had ages to prepare to make EVs and squandered it, and now have to be protected by moves like this. We just end up paying for it, either through subsidies (eg. battery plants) or through the inflated prices of EVs.

Can… can we change that so it does have a curated feed? 57 options isn’t exactly user friendly and it’s not really a solution to OP’s complaint (echoed by others in this thread). Anyone know if the Lemmy devs would accept a patch for something like that?

What a fantastic video, good explainer.

It order to fix that, .ca would need to limit what kinds of communities can be made on this instance

Why not just curate the frontpage feed? I don’t think you can avoid having to do this.
