Happy after-Labour-Day Tuesday!

Lemmy 0.12 was released last week, and there's already been a couple of bugfix releases (part of why it's so good to have patience when a new software release that has major new features or rewrites come along).

So we've jumped to 0.12.2:

Enjoy!

Somebody please tell me if anyone involved in writing this thing has any understanding of how any online services work?

Fulll embedding looks good

There's only like 50,000,000 sq km or so available, this is terrible.

Here's a thing to get out and do/see/enjoy (or stay home and do, too).

I've found the same with butter over the past few years. I hope this gets backed up by other sources, but if true, it sounds like high time for better regulation of this industry - if they can't make profit from selling a pound of butter for $5 (which most seem to be priced higher than that now), then something is disastrously wrong.

It destroys me that in the middle of this pandemic, a year in, our government bodies think that they need to control messaging like this to the point of breeding distrust.

I really don't want to be distrustful of Interior Health, but when people are reaching out to the media anonymously to try to shed some real light on things - 'whistleblow', if you will - it's a little distressing.

I have heard directly from a hospital worker about them having their jobs threatened if they speak publicly. That's not how things should work, and our government bodies need to be held much more accountable for being secretive. I also believe that it should be illegal to fire someone for whistleblowing or speaking to media. If the media gets multiple people complaining about exactly the same thing, they should be able to dig for answers.

What an effective and useful by-law!

Ever seen by-law in any of the shopping area parking lots? This would be an easy cash cow for them if they even tried.

I'm not sure what kind of peer pressure Sinclair figures will work - See all those other cars in the parking lot that are shut off? They're not having any peer pressure effect on those idlers who can't stand to be uncomfortable for 60 seconds.

Hmm, I'm posting this as it only came up after I was looking for more on the crap the CPC had on their website yesterday.

I think it may be time to reach out to my local (conservative) MP and demand better. I don't know about you, but we're going to have to do something to push out the blatant Trumpism that's occurring here. We're going to have to be completely intolerant of it, and demand better.

Thoughts?
