World News@lemmy.world•The verdict is in: Canadians hate America thanks to TrumpEnglish
6·9 days agoAnd maybe most importantly, they’re too distracted to be politically motivated at all. They have ephemeral anger and reactions that fizzle out as soon as they form. The next scandal, the next season on Netflix, the next meme. They aren’t given time to think enough to care. By design.

World News@lemmy.world•Andrew Tate charged with possessing child abuse imagesEnglish
2·14 days agoI think it’s important to note they weren’t even men when YouTube and Social media started throwing their content at them. The early twenties misogynists were single digit boys when Tate, Rogan, and the rest of the manosphere was thrown on them.

World News@lemmy.world•Canada’s boycott of U.S. wines ‘causing devastating harm,’ California senator saysEnglish
22·26 days agoIs it really that simple when the technology companies that have enabled all of this the most have been most supported by and enabled by California. I agree that the average persons worldview is much healthier in California but none of this is likely to have happened without the dominant social platforms and data collection of American tech.
Don’t buy things from scumbags.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of releaseEnglish
2·1 month agoYeah that’s a good point, I guess our current social app structure isn’t designed at all to filter signal and noise. The art world has galleries which kind of do that at the expense of barrier to entry. Maybe things like Flathub and repos end up seen that way.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Rogers shutters radio stations in Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax and Kitchener
41·1 month agoThis. 3B produces way more than enough money a year to pay these 230 people $100,000 a year perpetually. But billionaire vanity is more important. The Leafs don’t need Rogers.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of releaseEnglish
2·1 month agoPeople can code publicly for themselves for sure but there is clearly a subset of people who feel like their slop is worthy of community attention and resources in the same way as traditional projects that have been proven over time. It’s the same as the Ai art slop paddlers thinking their work is as valuable when they don’t even know what’s it in. To be frank, largely parasitic people using largely parasitic tools. A lot of that community doesn’t hold those values you eloquently stated.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney’s vision of Canada’s sovereignty is quickly blurring
5·1 month agoPP entire career is just being contrarian to whatever liberal candidate he’s running against. Dudes never delivered anything in his life besides liberal party wins, lol. Stay delusional.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Microsoft is lobbying every government department against Linux and LibreOffice
14·1 month agoArguably worse. Google does all kinds of sneaky things. Kids end up learning software without file management skills (like at all). This makes it very difficult to leave their apps and if they do it’ll be to to 365, maybe iCloud, not libreoffice.

Technology@lemmy.world•75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are WhyEnglish
41·1 month agoWhether rightly or wrongly, without a body on frame construction they were never really trying to sell that to traditional truck consumers.

Technology@lemmy.world•75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are WhyEnglish
1·1 month agoHow do you get to that conclusion? I clearly state I believe it to be a major factor. I just don’t get why this place is so vehemently against confounding variables. It reads the same as US propaganda but opposite. Yeah, trucks bad, US bad. It’s just clearly not so simple. The US is huge and a rural town and major city have little in common. The trend is everywhere.
You can believe what you want but data from the ETSC (European Transport Safety Council) and ERSO (European Road Safety Observatory) is pretty clear. Reducing it to little cars is really slighting what Europe has accomplished. Car size is important but there has been so much more done. Little things like moving money from heavy vehicle corridors to raised sidewalks have both immediate (like visibility of pedestrians) and emergent effects (like driving culture changes).
This place is getting worse than Reddit.

Technology@lemmy.world•75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are WhyEnglish
1·1 month agoRoad speed has definitely increased since then. Cars are more powerful than ever and easier to drive blindly.
Road conditions have also changed. Europe has invested heavily in well designed infrastructure with a clearly stated goal of reducing road deaths.
Large vehicles in North America are clearly a major part of the problem but trying to be this reductionist seems pretty weird.

Technology@lemmy.world•75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are WhyEnglish
31·1 month agoSo many other variables though. European cities are designed so much better for pedestrians and cyclists. I’d argue that the driving standards are also higher in a lot of areas. Speeds often slower too since infrastructure is designed for mixed use. In North America the actual design of most roads is almost hostile to pedestrians. It’s clearly a mix a factors.

71·1 month agoIt’s super frustrating because if you talk to anyone in a blue collar or rural area they all tell you they wish they still made small trucks. The manufacturers keep upping the size and cost adding shit nobody even asked for.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What do you think KDE should focus on for the next two years? - Call For Submissions
4·1 month agoYeah the panel editing could use some work. Lots of weird size and space issues still too. I rather like how Cosmic is developing their panel. Still customizable but so much easier to understand. With the great changes recently to application themes the panel sort of seems the least polished part now.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google preps Pixel ‘Audio Memory’ that ambiently tracks your ‘important conversations,’ like AI notetaker pinsEnglish
2·1 month agoYep, not just audio either. There is a reason the tech companies are pushing into glasses with cameras and it isn’t to make people’s lives better.

CBC covers climate change almost every day. And reasonably well.
