Ah see I didn't think of the flatpak aspect. But if you download a game from some shady source and want to run it via flatpak Steam, how would you go about it?
For Ed Wiebe, seeing prominent ads claiming that “B.C. LNG will reduce global emissions” while on his daily bike ride to work as a climate researcher was particularly galling....
I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today....
I'm not tech savvy and have noticed that many streaming sites are .ru, and as someone located in Finland, I want to make sure if they are dangerous to use.
Huh. I guess I didn't fully understand how DNS works.
My understanding was that DNS servers propagated their listing to other DNS servers and you just had to point your computer to the one you want and it would just query that one. And if a URL can't be found, then it's probably because
My 1998 Honda Civic SE hatchback was all manual. Manual windows with the canks, manual door locks, manual steering (no power steering), no braking assist, no assist of ANY kind in fact, and a manual transmission. It was basically an engine, four wheels and a steering wheel.
If EV manufacturers could make cars that are closer to my old Civic, with the only difference being the engine being swapped for an electric motor, I would switch in a heartbeat. For now I'll stick with my 2010 Mazda 3, which I barely use except for the occasional trip to my family or friends who are out of the city or to do my groceries once a week. Until cars start using manual controls for essentials like door handles and locks, audio systems and temperature control, I want none of it.
I'm already having trouble with touch screen tablets when I'm not driving, let alone when I need to focus on the damn road.
I'm going to university this September. Nearly everybody says "In university they don't try to understand what you've written it is unintelligible." My handwriting is incredibly ugly. I want to improve it by the time I go to uni....
C'est vrai. Mais notre français québécois et nos accents se perdent. Principalement à cause de combien on s'est moqué de nous au fil de l'histoire et aussi à cause de l'Internet.
Oui les français ont eu une grosse influence à Montréal aussi. Ils sont arrivés en grand nombre à Montréal et ils ont été assez rapides pour se moquer de notre accent ce qui en a laissé plusieurs assez complexés au point où ils ont changé leur parlure. C'est assez triste.
The thing is, in this case you can get infected from ingesting cow milk from a cow that was infected. Once it gets into our food supply it can cause something like a flu bomb that's going to kill a lot of people at once.
Vegans might have a better chance of surviving in this case.
Holy shit. This is extremely concerning. Project 2025 and Trump is Nazi level fascism. Like this is happening for real.
From a Canadian perspective, it's very scary because our conservative party is basically Republicans light. And right now they are very strong in the polls. The Canadian conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, is a suck up to other conservative leaders and willing to emulate whatever they do because he's got no real personality and no real plan.
So having a Nazi like situation down with with him as leader of Canada poses a real fucking threat.
No I deleted my Reddit account for a reason. I just go sneak sometimes to see what's happening in my old community. Sometimes steal some posts and put them up here.
It's just sometimes it feels a bit lonely in my main communities. I'm a francophone Quebecois and there isn't a lot of us on Lemmy. Most of them didn't seem to care about the whole API thing and don't seem to care about the bots and the AI either.
The Quebecois are creatures of habit and one they've settled down on something it's hard to make them change.
Given his political leanings, it probably shouldn't be surprising that Poilievre has chosen to oppose the Liberal tax changes. Back in 2004, the Conservative leader seems to have been in favour of eliminating capital gains taxes entirely (the Conservative party platform that year called for a "reduction")....
Glorification of the Confederates and the protagonists called "the good old boys" would be instantaneously shut down and called out today for the racist white supremacist idea that it is.
Among the controversial provisions are section 20 (1) “Every person commits an offence who, at the direction of, for the benefit of or in association with, a foreign entity or a terrorist group, induces or attempts to induce, by intimidation, threat or violence, any person to do anything or to cause anything to be done...
Imagine protesting against the Zionist genocide in Palestine and being considered violent and doing so to the benefit of Hamas, who are considered a terrorist organization.

I was able to acquire a Jabra Evolve2 85 through my last employer and it's absolute shit. The sound quality drops to telephone/ AM radio quality when the microphone turns on. Otherwise it's okay.
In late summer 2023, the RCMP made headlines with the arrests of two men in Ottawa and Kingsey Falls, Quebec, on terrorism and hate propaganda charges.

I don't know. I don't think they are. I'm still hearing about far-right neo-nazis conducting assemblies and doing military-style militia training in certain regions.
Loblaws, the name, isn't used in Quebec anymore, no. But their brand stores are very much here.
The whole point is not to just boycott stores that say "Loblaws" on the sign. But to boycott all the chains they own like Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix, Provigo, Maxi, T&T, as well as No Name, Life and PC brands, etc.
I'm living in a medium density condo building with 25% of it dedicated to social housing. In an area where I have everything I need within a 10-30 minute walk. Living right next to a subway line and several bus lines that can take me to all the key areas in my city, which I use everyday, in addition to biking. I recycle anything that's recyclable. Compost everything that's compostable. Buy my groceries from a local green grocer and buy everything I can buy in bulk using reusable containers. I repair my stuff as much as I can even if it costs more than a brand new one. Buy a lot of used products, such as electronics to minimize e-waste. Speaking of which, I bring any other waste to my borough's eco center.
I think there's better options. Like creating strict laws to control pollution and revoking companies their right to run their business if they don't comply and have the people in charge face potential jail time if it has adverse health on local residents or destroys the local ecology.
Your expectations are unrealistic and completely ridiculous.
How my domestic recycling waste and e-waste ends up in landfills is not my responsibility. My municipality put in place a recyling program and my responsibilities stop at sorting my waste accordingly so it can be recycled. Even if I do my best to minimize waste, there is still going to be some. After that, its the responsibilities of the government and the companies they hire behind the programs to do their job.
You want me to walk more?? I'm already walking everywhere except to work, which I go to by subway. I barely ever even use the bus becaue I rarely ever have to leave my neighborhood. My job's office is 2 hours away by foot. You think I'm going to lose 2 hours of sleep to walk to work with my heavy backpack with my work laptop and shit? Get real.
We're already growing food on our 1.5m x 3m balcomy. But the sunlight is too strong and it burns our plants and barely grow anything. And we're not going to survive on 5 green bean pods, 2 eggplants, 4 tomates and 3 strawberries and a handful of herbs. The neighborhood community garden is already full and we couldn't get a spot this year. And that still wouldn't be enough to feed ourselves over the summer. And what are we supposed to do in the winter? Turn our living room into a garden while we're at it? Fuck it. Turn our whole condo unit into a greenhouse and sleep in the dirt?
You know, when you walk into any kind of store, even grocery stores, you look at all the shit they sell and how much of it is wrapped in plastic for no reason, that's the company's responsibility to stop using plastics to wrap everyting. It ain't my fucking fault if the only available lettuce where I live is wrapped in plastic. It ain't my fault if the company that made my clothes use sysnthetic fibers that add microplastics to the environment. It ain't my fault if the pair of scissors I bought from a local brand was actually made in some manufacture in South Asia and was shipped here by container cargo boat.
I do my best to avoid all this shit, but in the end, companies have a fucking responsibility. I'm doing my fucking part. Now it's up to them to do theirs. Especially when they're the ones responsible for the vast majority of the world pollution and greenhouse gasses.
