Tim Hortons Hasn't Been Canadian-Owned For A Long Time
  • BC has Waves, Serious Coffee, Island Grind, Blenz, JJ Bean, and more but thats what I can recall off the top of my head.

  • We Need to Switch to Canadian Services
  • Its nice, but Memories app as part of Nextcloud is better and Nextcloud completes the rest of the Google suite (Drive, Calendar, Notes, Reader, Podcasts, Hangouts)

    If you're going to put in the time, Nextcloud has more value.

  • Pierre Poilievre Signals Plan to Extend Government Subsidies to Right-Wing Media Websites
  • What happened to defunding the CBC there pal, wasn't part of your argument that the government shouldn't fund TV or News?

  • Amazon will remove your ability to download the books you bought
  • Was Canadian, its owned by a Japanese company since 2010

  • If you could rearrange the days in a week, what would your ideal month look like.
  • Holoscenic calendar. I get mine from Kurzgesagt every year.

  • Go to wikihow and press on "random article". That is what you die doing. How do you die?
  • https://www.wikihow.com/Grow-Dates-Indoors

    Guys I'm scared, my wife has been trying to grow dates indoors. Send for help, my time is near.

  • What is one video game cheat code that will you will always remember?
  • This is the one I was looking for. So famous its been used in numerous games.

    AKA the Konami Code

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami_Code

    Worked in most of the TMNT games too.

  • Parks Canada backtracks on directive to buy from Amazon
  • By missing the mark I think they meant it was glaringly out of touch and supporting the Bozos tech broligarchy.

  • Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?
  • The deb version is a pointer to the snap in their repos. Nothings being replaced, it no longer exists. The deb version of Firefox in Ubuntu repos is a wrapper that installs snap and has no binaries in it. Has been for 3 years or so.

  • Who needs newfangled stuff like forums? 🤢
  • I'll note that a number of groups and forums send mailing list like emails (google groups, django dev being a big one) and that notifications can be threaded from places like Github with the right client.

    Thunderbird has good threading.

    Roundcube webmail is also capable here. Though when I have had it working it didn't include sent messages... which is not great in my mind.

  • Who needs newfangled stuff like forums? 🤢
  • Thunderbird has good features for mailing lists and threads.

  • After many years on GNOME, I finally switched to Plasma.
  • You don't need special docks in KDE, its all configurable through the default desktop settings. You have enough knobs to make it look like anything.

  • Canadian alternatives to Big Tech
  • An interesting caveat I've found for self-hosting is that getting server hardware in Canada is harder now that several companies, most notably NewEgg, have decided that any equipment that might have a business use case requires a business account and license, meanwhile Americans can still buy things like rackmount hardware no issues.

    You can still get rackmount stuff on Amazon, but fuck Bezos. I'd like a better option. I've found some places like AVADirect that will ship to Canada, but not any Canadian businesses that sell that stuff to normal Canadians.

    That would be an interesting list.

  • Made a Tool – Need Your Feedback
  • I tried to recreate the emoticon you used, but this was the closest I could get with the available options.

  • 🤔 Black hole myth busted: they don't suck anything in
  • You fall into gravity wells, they don't suck you.

    Best way to understand is to get the mental image of spacetime as a 3d sheet like grid, where each object pushes down on it and creates a pit, or well. The bigger the object the deeper the well, and the more force you will need to stop yourself from sliding towards the object and propelling yourself back up the slope.

  • Boxing Day Status Update

    So much food.

    The Muppet Christmas Carol is still the best movie adaptation of the story because Michael Caine is a perfect Scrooge.

    Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

    Was the planet where "The 37's" were found ever given a name or revisited in STO or in Novels?

    As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

    My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

    www.theatlantic.com The Case for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    A candidate who has many interesting things to say about lots of stuff.

    The Case for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

    Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

    The Dad Trilogy

    Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

    About the "darkspace" Theme

    Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it's going but its in need of some love.. there's nothing to make the posts readable against the background.

    Complaints are not intended here, I could likely help if someone points me to a place where I can make PRs.
