It should be pretty simple: real news that affect people’s lives should always be free, since that’s a journalist’s duty to society.

Entertainment, sports, and the other stuff can be behind a paywall because people do pay for stuff like that. Plus, sensationalized stories about celebrities to get views would be far less damaging to society than sensationalized (often fake) stories about politicians to get the same views.

Just got the update. Good timing, because over the last week, I’ve had DOZENS upon DOZENS of IP addresses auto-blocked.

Before that, the last blocked IP address was like in September, so someone/something is probing.

The bike lanes were installed two years ago as part of a $1.5 million, in response to serious crashes in the area.

These MOFOs don’t value the lives of cyclists, so why should cyclists value the windows or mirrors of these future parked cars? 🤫

I bought two “Eightree” brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare.

Did you need a Zigbee hub to get them working? I was gifted an Eighttree Zigbee plug with energy monitoring, but it seems to require using a hardware hub :(

As long as individuals are allowed to hoard hundreds of billions (soon, trillions) of dollars that they couldn’t possibly use in 1000 years, then this will never end.

We need to cap personal wealth, and it needs to be a number so low that any one person can’t take over a country like Nazi Musk is doing at this very moment.

There is absolutely no reason why we have homeless people, people who can’t afford medication, kids who are hungry, and students who have to choose between education and a roof over their head.

These problems exist because there are literal trillionsof dollars being hoarded by a few people, when it should have been distributed to everyone who actually earned it.

My thoughts, exactly.

This move was simple intelligence gathering. Now he knows how the world will respond to this threat. He’s far more prepared to do it for real the next time.

Canada should hold their ground and call his bluff. Make him suffer for just the idea of threatening us.

Not even Hitler would buy one. He’s got too much self-respect than to associate with Elon.

Suing companies for not advertising on a platform For Nazis, By Nazis™. 🤡

For sure, if the need calls for it, that works well.

But looking for random things to install and maintain without an actual need creates so many issues.

100%. When it comes to self-hosting, or anything really, be a minimalist. For your sake, and for the sake of whoever might need to maintain things when you’ve leave this earth.

How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

I’m in Canada, and my municipality has one protected bike lane that is buffered by bollards and a curb.

Yet, I can’t tell you how many times some douchebag with an oversized pickup truck will bypass those protections so that they can fit into the parking spot that runs beside this bike lane (while blocking the bike lane in doing so).

If laws and enforcement aren’t working to deter this kind of behaviour, give pedestrians and cyclists a legally protected right to bump, scratch and/or smash the side of these vehicles in passing. And I’ll leave this for your entertainment.

Made entirely of fool’s gold.

Whoa, what the actual fuck. They are 100% doing that by choice.

For example, this comes up on duckduckgo search:

And clicking on that link suddenly gives this, as if it never existed:

To make sure this wasn’t just old search data, I went to the internet archive.

As of Jan 20th (the last archived copy), that About page was still up. So, it got taken down in the last few days.

You can say that’s a coincidence, but good luck trying to explain that among 100 other things that Nazis did these past few days.

Oh man, I’ve had their online cart show me a total amount “saved” that makes absolutely no sense.

It’s crazy that one of the largest retailers on the planet is so incapable of having a working online ordering system.

Well, I can say that if I dare use YouTube without an account, things spiral to the extreme right very quickly! It’s as if these companies are either purposely pushing this agenda, or they are being paid to from outside influences.

I get an ad for a crypto app! (Canada).

I do have my privacy settings locked down, so they are listing non-targeted ads.

I think you missed the point. If they were both the same size jar (2kg or 1kg, it doesn’t matter), then there may be a difference in price between regular and lite.

But the 1k jar is listed as being less expensive per 100g, and that’s flat out wrong when you do the math.

OK, I’m going to give this another look!

If it’s a “bug” that they are actively profiting from, likely for years, it’s probably a feature! LOL
