By why did Canada briefly regress to an electoral democracy from a liberal democracy in 2020?

What is sipstea?

IRC: it’s open source, it’s free, its retro

Spicy potato water

Actually she can’t be presidents can only pardon federal offenses and her sentence is due to state offenses so only the Colorado governed can pardon her I think— not that I think they would or should

I don’t pretend to know the complexities of your adult relationship; but from the two paragraphs I’ve read I’d say it might be time to get out of dodge if you can/want to.

Do they exude a certain positive attitude highlighting the good things from civilization or do you mean that putting them in contrast to the world of today things are good?

What is hexbear and .ml?

Yes, microplastics are bad, but the comparison between electric and ICE cars is just not true at all. Mineral mining can be bad, but it’s mostly bad because bad is cheap, and they can get away with it in third-world countries with lax environmental protections; however, even given this, when a battery wears out, all it is is a change of configuration of the materials that make it up, which you can reclaim, and we’re getting better at reclaiming those disordered elements in used batteries. So the percentage of reused minerals in batteries will continue to climb. ICE cars combust fuels which are used up and turned into water and CO2, which is bad and requires more fuel. Also, yes, e-bikes are good.

Do yoy know how they work generally? Can you get your own little space for stuff?

I can’t imagine this is true right? I mean there are some people like the guy with the Swiss accent that do things albeit most of them are more micro electronics which you might not need a large space for but…

But Linux is open source? So if hypothetically so distro adopted spying al la windows couldn’t people just change distros? tbh I also think the question is slightly confusing as I don’t understand why OP thinks Mac OS is not standardized but I digress.

I think one advantage lemmy might have is the possibility of expanding the number of sorting metrics allowing users to sort things the way they choose rather than a few monolithic sort options.

Has anyone been able to find the actual audio? I suspect given the participants it’s probably a cringe-fest but it’s disturbing to me that the news is jumping all over it to the point where it’s difficult to actually find the source and listen and do you own analysis.

This seems to be an ongoing problem not just for this story; I’m constantly having to dig to actually find the thing that every news channels talking heads is doing their own half-baked analysis on.

Why? I have to imagine it would be nice if I lived in a walkable city to wake up in the mornings by going for a walk with a coffee to wake up— I mean I might just go to coffee shop so I don’t have to lug it about but it doesn’t seem especially egregious

Careful that’s how we got the floods that one time…

The good thing is that we’ve had these types of corporations before in the guilded age and eventually we passed laws to break them up and instilled labor laws, while these protections have atrophied we can build them up again.

I think it will be better. I think trump will lose. I’ll graduate in December, I just got married, and we’re going to move out of my in-laws house sometime in the spring trading suburbia for a coastal urban city. I’m going to make new friends and have kids and ask them questions which will prepare them to be good and thoughtful citizens and whatever else they choose to become.

At this point you may, and rightly so, assume that mine are rose tinted glasses. However as a hobbiest student of history I’ve come to the conclusion that the world is always on fire. Humanity tends to have a bias towards bad news, and there is plenty of bad news around, but cynicism only incentivizes inaction. If we want to give the world the best chance for happiness in our time, to honor the legacy of those forebears who strove to build the better world of today, then we have to acknowledge the good.

This doesn’t mean ignoring the bad, or giving up on the better, but we have to immerse ourselves in the electrifying notion that civilization has moved over the past 200+ years gradually, with new and terrible acts of inhumanity along the way, toward better lives for the average human. We have a duty to fight for that trend so that we in our old age can scoff at the perceived slights of our progeny as our parents and elders do now. The disconnect between the generations in some ways can stand as a testament to the progress that has been achieved.

They don’t make cardboard like they used to so I’m going to get off my soap box before it sloughs into a pile of microplastics.

Per the National Park Service Website. You are allowed to carry a gun in national parks; but notably you’re not allowed to take it into government facilities: “government offices, visitor centers, ranger stations, fee collection buildings, and maintenance”. Additionally, it is not allowed to discharge the weapon unless you have specific hunting licenses.

I don’t know what bearing this has on this tragedy, if any, but to facilitate civil discussion it’s best to have a shared understanding of the law.

I’ve never modded before but I’d be happy to try if you all still need help
