There's crazy of all kinds (I won't hesitate even for a minute to admit I'm crazy too), but gosh darn, public modlogs are great, as it is very easy to see which removals/bans are deserved, which are borderline and which are just power trips.

It would be just the same with Jill Stein or Chase Oliver as leader, Wall Street will benefit. There is obviously outsized influence of rich people in government, but big money makes money with money, doesn't matter what the politics are.

It's more important that A. The US doesn't put a leader who has real plans to become dictator and the Project2025 yes-men lined up behind it, and B. The US chooses a leader who better represents the national interests of common people, which will not happen if too many would-be Harris voters choose 3rd party or abstains.

I think it would be an interesting concerted effort to question every multinational company's legal team for every clause in their terms, conditions and privacy policies, when they do something like Disney and make you waive your rights to sue on someone's behalf for killing them, if you signed up for their streaming service.

One correction:

It would, not could...

The important thing is that the distinction between bikes and motorcycles are a little different in Japan than elsewhere.

Elsewhere, there's a speed or weight limit, where if the e-bike can travel at greater than that speed without pedaling, it's classed as a motorbike, otherwise it's a electrically assisted bicycle and follows bicycle rules.

In Japan, the distinction is if the bike can move at all on its own without human input (i.e. it has a throttle), then it is a moped and classed the same as a motorbike, requiring a licence (a <50cc motorbike or general automobile licence), registration plate, liability insurance, helmet, and a prohibition against drunk and distracted driving (note: now manual bicycles are subject to the same prohibitions as well). The law was clarified this year that for a moped-class e-bike, even if the motor is switched off, is still the same, it doesn't drop to a bicycle class.

He's from Papineau, Montréal so French only - Fuck Trudeau could mean people thinks he's sexy for all he knows.

But Trudeau ultimately fell back on the idea that the next election will be a choice — and on the belief that Canadians haven't started to think about that choice yet.

Well the time to act is short, the Conservatives have been making the decision for many people - by brainwashing them with endless amounts of fossil-fuel funded ads.

Congrats on finishing and publishing your game! Definitely is well-inspired from make-believe play that many of us have done as kids.

It's adorable!

This is such a confusing distraction from Trump, which I think is the point...

  • Is he saying that he should deliver himself and his supporters to the dump, based on what Biden said?
  • Is he tossing Puerto Rico in the trash, based on what Hitchcliffe said?
  • More likely it's just his idea of yet another attention-grabbing stunt.

In any case, it should be clear as hell to Puerto Ricans that he shows less than zero remorse for their homeland being called an island of garbage.

I don't really care for what, if you are requesting something from someone you don't know in a way that's intentionally stupid or roundabout, you need to be prepared to get exactly what you asked for.

Fast food doubly so, they give no shits. Ask for a burger but hold the burger? Expect an empty wrapper.

If you want a concise and accessible set of reasons on why a Trump/Republican presidency would be bad for the US, to help explain important issues to friends and family without sounding like a conspiracy theorist or a political savant, this resource may help.

Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign. Maybe we can get some clarity from our government on what our rights as consumers are when buying access to video games.

Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.

 

I figured that right to repair is a topic many of us are interested in. The survey below by ISED Canada, a department of the Government of Canada, is open until September 26, 2024.

Canadians can provide their input at the following link: https://ised-isde.survey-sondage.ca/f/s/RTR

 

Video shared from a Mastodon user.

 

Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: I found the post!

Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.

If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.
