The very idea of a user-generated content free-to-play MMO for children with whack-a-mole moderation is totally bananas. Even good whack-a-mole moderation would be a bananas design.

I’m okay with little kids online gaming, but it needs to be in content that has been approved by a responsible adult in a setting where either adults are actively supervising or the children are on a server where we know everybody who’s in there.

It’s almost like letting freaks take over your political movement can drive away normal people.

A pleasant reversal from the usual situation. Like, all the regulations that sandbag against housing are municipal, which can only be overridden by the provinces.

She’s been a public figure for more than her whole adult life. If she were a habitual liar it’d already have come up.

Various detectors you use when trying to debug a problem – ethernet testers, decibel meter, battery discharge tester, thermal camera, wifi and cellular signal analyzers, air quality testers, radon detectors (edit: hah of course this is what article is about), stud finders, etc.

Overly-specific tools – ethernet crimpers, obscure driver bits.

If you’re making a programming platform and the only debugging tool you provide to developers is console logging, you’re a monster.

yaml pipelines/actions I’m looking in your direction.

It was already public to anybody willing to put in the work and extract the data.

I like diverse opinions too, but like “lower taxes are good for the economy” not “climate change is fake” or “trans people are all pedos and should be put to death”.

Fuck their opinions.

There’s a local brewing supply co that does cannister swaps for SodaStream things and I’m trying to figure out how to diplomatically ask “so are you actually paying SodaStream for rights to do this or are you just DIYing it?”

Since, like, I assume Canadian Tire pays SS for like official vendor status for swapping the cannisters.

And I don’t wanna pay SodaStream. I mean I’m not gonna throw out my old stuff either, it still works, just needs fresh CO2.

I agree but the ability to have a public conversation with these organizations is excellent. It’s something I’ve really missed since I left Twitter. “Hey <company that puts you on hold for hours when you call for support> fix this crappy problem!”

Right? Especially now that BSky and Threads are bridging to the Fediverse, it should be reasonable to have gov’t run Mastodon instances.

Lol conservatives being conservatives “we want to be tough on law breakers except for the ones who break the laws that I break”.

If the speed limit is too low then it should be fixed. Non-enforcement is stupid.

Let the robot do the robot’s job instead of having expensive police officers arbitrarily pull over unlucky losers to sit on dangerous shoulders and hope that nobody will accidentally kill the cop or the speeder.

K but the V = trains.

This. I used to have a Moto Z which was regular 16:9 and you could actually type in landscape and actually see the textbox with that.

If a normal LRT is possible then it is the gadgetbahn.

They’re only useful in very specific scenarios, because they can have very few stops, aren’t very fast, and people don’t like them over their yards.

For GTHA where we don’t have a lot of mountains or islands and what we do have has established roads? Just. Build. A. Train.

While that’s awful that’s not really a municipal issue like housing and water treatment.

Sorry we’re too busy preventing you from having your own home, we can’t squeeze in not poisoning you.

So did did Visa and MasterCard ever stop payments to… like… Infowars? I know PayPal went after them but the credit card networks are a level even higher.
