I'm smelling Musk's typical brand of vaporware.

I kinda like RGB but not in the pulsating rainbow way how it seems to always be on marketing materials.

I like keeping it to one colour, with the intensity at half. It is nice to change it a few times a year for a fresh look.

The fonts and other stuff, I don't care that much as long as the components are good quality. Maybe subconsciously I would consider design if I had to choose between options that performed and cost relatively equally.

I watched it, there's no mention of donating to anyone in this video and no donation link in the description aside from her standard Patreon and social media info.

No, she is saying your power is in pressuring MPs and other politicians to push back against C-2, push back on Carney being an American suck-up, supporting sanctions on Israel, boycotting products and services that support the genocide and Trump's deportation scheme, push companies to drop Gardaworld for their involvement in constructing the concentration camp, and on. The point is that all this bad doesn't take away what options we have as individuals to resist it.

If you could please refrain from spreading misinformation based on unfounded hunches, I would appreciate it.

Deportation macht Frei

Effectively hand-me-downs the military has no active use for.

That conversation has to happen now as well. But the points I raised are related to despair of the Reconciliation bill passing and those climate setbacks.

Democrats' window of opportunity to change ahead of midterms is NOW until the primaries. (I've said my spiel about it before in this thread)

A survey with the takeaways really gussying up AI and how people that don't use AI haven't had their aha moment yet.

That's where the resistance has to last 16 to 40 months, slowing down and making people aware enough of these things:

  • how unserious about budgets Republicans are
  • how much they are trying to punish regular people (poor middle and moderately wealthy class),
  • while also looking to use the they are spending to subsidize companies, multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Because waste and recycling is a provincial matter (like many things)... saying Canada doesn't have a standardized federal framework is fine, but kind of a shallow take considering this article didn't bring up any provincial examples at all.

BC is on the ball with recycling, reporting and auditing composition.report

Ontario is trying to standardize their system and it puts cost and collection responsibilities on producers supposedly, but it could lead to lower recovery rates.

Alberta or Saskatchewan probably don't care that much, or will support it to the extent it helps oil and resource companies.

 

Concepts of a plan for a trade deal. No deal imminent or expected before the G7.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.

 

US road border crossings by Canadians down 35.2%

Canadian returns from the US by air down 19.9%

Both things can be true, but it's funny that two opposite sounding replies came to this one comment about US politics.
