In 1872, a group of Toronto printers went on strike, fighting for a nine-hour work day. (The standard work day was 10 to 12 hours at the time.) The workers’ demand to reduce their hours had been refused by print shop owners, and in particular, George Brown, a respected father of Confederation and founder of The Globe, a predecessor to The Globe and Mail.

…

Ten thousand people marched in support of the workers to Queen’s Park.

…

Many of the printers lost their jobs, but the incident led then prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald, a rival of Brown’s who was keen to gain worker support, to legalize union activities. In the years that followed, unions across North America pushed for shorter work days, and the eight-hour day eventually became standard.

…

There’s some dispute around the origins of America’s Labor Day, but some historians believe U.S. labour leader Peter J. McGuire, inspired after visiting a Toronto labour gathering, organized the first American Labor Day parade in 1882.

He said many parents are used to driving and that “asking them to change that culture … is always difficult.”

For nuclear power plants to be reliable, they need operating conditions to be stable. With climate change intensifying by the year, one cannot expect predictability, control, and stability.

This is true for our entire society. It’s why climate change is going to hurt.

At this point, we should be building the fuck out of low-carbon power sources. With high cost, relatively risky technologies like nuclear, we need to build with the expectation that conditions are going to get much worse.

So many new feats!

Seems weird that NATO/5 Eyes would go through that effort for Zhang only to publicly arrest and charge her when she makes minor moves in Brussels.

As Canadians, we know that our bureaucracy often fails to communicate between silos.

It seems likely that Zhang got shitlisted by a couple of departments who don’t share their info. NATO is higher security than Statscan and CSA, so she thought she could get away with the same shit, without realizing she was in the big leagues.

I would love to believe that our security agencies were playing 5d chess with her, but it seems unlikely. Of course, that’s exactly what a CSIS bot would say. 🤷‍♂️

People trying to avoid automated duplicate detection. Some dupe detector bots use ocr on images with similar layout. Subtle changes to where text lands in the image, plus changes in the text itself, might be enough to fool automod tools and prevent a post from being taken down.

Do pixels still have battery issues? I had lots of problems with a P4, but my P8 makes it through the day with lots to spare.

I agree with that too.

I’ve seen upvote-only communities work elsewhere. I’d be happy to see the downvote button dropped.

That’s $345k/each. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. It’s definitely less than buying a house.
