Hello. My instance is mindly.social. It used to work fine, but now, when I try to connect, I simply see a Mastodon logo. This is true on both Firefox and Chromium browsers. However, when I use Pachli on my phone, it does connect. I'm not sure what the issue is.
I myself use a bicycle for local travel, and public transit for longer commutes. Musk's overpriced EVs are not the solution to global warming, IMO.
In the past, Liberals (under Chretien and then Martin) voted in favour of this resolution. Stephen Harper's government voted against it, and Trudeau's government continues to vote against it.
So, Trudeau is continuing where Harper left off. Liberal Tory same old story.

I have a Google Pixel 4a. I have LineageOS on it (codename Sunfish). When I first installed it I got regular updates each week. But now I haven't received one since March 16. Have they stopped releasing these? Do I now have to try and build updates myself?
Housing is a complex issue that requires action accross levels of government, but this would seem to shift the onus towards the municipal level, and then handicap said municipality’s ability to meet demand if they do not immediately succeed. [..] if implemented, would be anything but an excuse to cut funding.
Agreed. It just seems to be setting up obstacles rather than helping. Currently, builders prefer to build condos or office towers, rather than rental housing. I don't see these proposals as doing anything other than further frustrating the construction of rental housing.
When asked about a perceived ignorance in computers, the judge proclaimed, "I'm not ignorant about computers! In fact, just last week I finished Space Quest, and I'm now getting through Leisure Suit Larry!" The judge's report, written using WordPerfect 5.1, is expected to be released soon.
I saw on the CBC last night a story of a restaurant worker who was fired because she wore a mask. That's how bonkers we in Canada have become lately.
Great move on the part of the BBC. Given all the issues on Twitter, hopefully the CBC will also make a move to Mastodon. I recall when Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada, closed comments on Twitter due to abusive garbage, that I wrote her office and suggested Mastodon. Alas, they did not follow through. But hopefully this move from the BBC will inspire some of our Canadian institutions (particularly the CBC) to reconsider and to make the move to the fediverse.
Despite knowing this province's rules, Toronto cycling advocate Alison Stewart says she regularly crosses early with the pedestrian signals.
"It's much safer. It keeps me in front of car traffic, and gives me the chance to be seen as I cross," said Stewart, director of advocacy and public policy for Cycle Toronto.
As a cyclist myself, I do agree with this. However, the article also mentioned the scramble intersection at Yonge and Dundas, and in that circumstance, I feel that cyclists should dismount and walk along with the other pedestrians. I feel that way because there are those crossing diagonally, and cyclists weaving in and out between walking pedestrians simply is not good. But, generally, if it's just a regular crossing (and not a scramble) then yes, cyclists should be able to go early along with the pedestrians.
Don Davies is raising some very important issues.
Attempt number two. These images came from the OpenClipArt gallery.
It's Lemmy from Motorhead, who was part of the inspiration for the name of the software:
Where does the name come from?
It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.
Here's a Lemmy themed logo which is indicative of where the instance is located (that being Canada).
The law makes sense to me. He says, regarding Google, that "Linking is what a search engine does." But Google, as we know, is gleaning information from users, who are its product, to sell to advertisers (for more targeted advertising.)
So, links are not its business. Links are props to attract the product (us, its users) to it, to prepare us to be sold. Like all other businesses (IE, pubs) that have props (IE, barstools), Google should pay for some of its props.
Supporters need to move away from viewing the NDP as a product that needs a better shine. It's all of us. We're a team. That's the only way the NDP wins.
