Alberta just kicked Coal years ahead of schedule. Yes, they’re also keeping the rest of the country using and producing oil, but clearly that province is working hard to reduce emissions.

Something is working

When does the government step in, shut down the company, and sell the assets to another firm?

Clearly, this company is irresponsible and cannot follow the law. You don’t have to shut down the operation and have people lose their jobs, but don’t let the company keep operating

It wasn’t even by Google though, right? This looks like it was by Extinction Rebellion. I can’t imagine the legal team at Google ever approving something like this.

Not Vancouver or Toronto. I’ve never seen anything against bicycling on that stretch and, to the contrary, see a few hardcore road folks most times I use it.

Bike lanes, yes, but this past weekend I saw the aftermath of a cyclist hit on a highway. There have to be long distance routes for folks that want to commute, to train. It has to be separated from cars and safe.

What’s the benefit of this? I don’t understand how that benefits parents or children. Who cares if the kid is a boy or a girl? What if their parents are abusive? School is part of where identity develops, to rob kids of that seems messed up

FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.

To that end, some ideas

• Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
• Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
• Canada online
• Some backronym for CANUCK
• Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)

I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.

Is it capitalism to blame or the lack of controls on who can own how many rental properties?

I agree, some proposed solutions would be good, but it’s also an excerpt from a longer work that could include some.

Isn’t the goal to remove public hearings? Why should a neighbour get to decide what you do with your property. That’s what OCPs are for.

For what’s it worth, I’m replying to you from Lemmy. It’s all federated so you can easily respond to Kbin posts from the Memmy app for Lemmy

I’ve got a few on my phone:

• one for playing a sound when my phone is charged
• another for starting my Streaks timer when certain reading apps are opened, so that I can track how long I read every day across apps automatically
• when my Sleep schedule begins (when I’m going to bed), I automatically change the screen colour to grey to help prevent being distracted. When I wake up, it turns that off.
• I have one HomePod, and I don’t use it much, but it has a temperature sensor and when that goes over 25C I get a notification so I know to turn on the AC

They’re dumb, but in a fun way. I created my own preroll video with some music and a silly title card. For me it’s a fun way of celebrating the work I put into my setup (again – I use a very dumb video), but also Plex’s preroll logic alludes me. It doesn’t run all the time.

Mostly, however, I have trailers play ahead of my movie. It’s a good way of remembering what else is on my server.

edit: also why, for the love of god, does Plex not pre-buffer the movie during either pre-roll or trailers? It makes no sense!
