I wonder what would happen if he announced tomorrow that he had a really good acid trip the other day and came to the conclusion that what the government must do is abandon the F-35 jet fighter deal, stop subsidizing oil companies, stop subsidizing car companies, stop pretending that rapid population growth is good for us, nationalize most of the telecom sector, get serious about fighting back the power of the other oligopolies that run most of the country, double the carbon tax, cut the income tax, eliminate most of the deductions that make it so complex, tax capital gains at the same rate as other income, consult with economic experts willing to design an effective regime for preventing businesses from growing too large, renew efforts for electoral reform, cancel all the bad Internet bills, fund electrified passenger rail transport, and run all government systems with 100% free software.

I have no data on that. Cheaper and easier to get tlds like .world might be the most dangerous of all.

Ah, so chimps are monkeys in the same way that whales are fish.

Mark Carney, apparently. I thought he was still Governor of the Bank of England, but he went on to work for Brookfield and Bloomberg and is now being talked about as a likely successor to Trudeau. Perhaps Canada will follow a few years behind the UK. Some seemingly endless years of thorough mismanagement by the increasingly delusional Conservatives, followed by a nominally left-wing party lurching to the right to occupy the conservative but slightly less-insane position the Tories once held.

Can someone explain for the non-biologists? I never heard of chimps being classified as monkeys.

If it’s that bad, could you maybe give people a hint as to why we’d want to watch it and what it has to do with linux?

They’re probably just as dangerous as .com sites.

The problem remains: Who else have they got?

If we’re including television I’m disappointed that nobody mentioned Blackadder.

If not, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Anachronism means something else, especially with respect to movies.

Guess I should’ve gone with “Academic? It doesn’t even cover ancient Greece.”

Academic? History of the World Part I? I guess you could say it has about as much academic rigour as the average Mel Brooks movie.

… rather than advocating for a two-state solution comprised of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Oh, so those are the two states everyone keeps talking about. Thanks for explaining, National Post!

The contrast illustrated here between the reporting on the least salubrious of the groups angry about Israel committing genocide and the reporting on Canada First, which gets a very brief mention, is certainly interesting.

That may be a consideration, but what’s important in the words of one mozilla employee in that thread is:

the future of the web. We work to push the industry forward and to push for decisions that enable people to shape their own online experience and that help consumers feel empowered and safe online.

Climate change is a narrow view that looks only at one part of the whole.

I would not call that honest. Climate change is a big deal and is not a religion which demands that one acknowledge no other gods. It deserves a spot in that top-level list of big problems, whether or not “it’s delusional” to think we’ll do anything about it.

I’d not yet call it failed, but it’s not yet fully succeeded either. To my mind, one impediment is something that lemmy.world shares with today’s reddit: If you look at the front page it’s 99% memes and images. That’s the first impression people get, and it probably drives away a lot of people who might want anything else. We need those people to make more text-based communities come alive, if it’s to evolve into anything like the old reddit.

I mean obviously there are lots of people who do mostly want to see memes and that’s fine, but I think it’s getting to the point where it might be useful to have an option that filters out all posts that are just a title and an image.

Sure, the project is already bloated with so much complexity that what’s the harm in adding a little more? If you’re genuinely confused about it, see the entire rest of the Internet for details.

It has some advantages. It can be configured with simple text files and normal filesystem permissions. The sshd code is mature and has a proven record of good security. It doesn’t add yet another thing to systemd that has no business being part of systemd.
