I see Canadians in the 4th panel lol

Kobo is where it’s at! It’s Canadian and not owned by Amazon.

Local libraries rock.

The US have always been the bad guys. Even independence was about being able to do more genocide and land stealing without the British getting in the way.

Canada also has a brutal history of both slavery and genocide.

Accepting that is the first step to overcoming systemic racism and building communities that we can all thrive in.

Spoiler: mostly EVs. EVs are clearly on track to replace ICE vehicles globally. You could replace every gas car with an EV and we’d still be fucked. The solution is not more of the same, but electric cars. It’s investing in public transit, bicycle infrastructure in cities, and walkable streets in cities that aren’t sprawling concrete hellholes.

But we all know he only cares about protecting the USA automotive industry from China’s rapidly growing EV industry. It’s easy to greenwash it.

People smugly say that for every petition. There’s no benefit in defeatism.

So so good!

• Behing The Bastards - informing, well researched bits of history with hilarious hosts
• The War On Cars - The name is a bit of a joke. Interesting discussions around how our cities are designed.

And patreon/liberapay for creators and journalists I enjoy.

The word for this is fundamentalism. When people believe it’s their way or the highway and all others must conform.

However, in the case of trans folk, I think it’s a bit different. They’re not forcing pronouns on others, just asking that they be shown basic human respect. If you were a straight man, I’m sure you’d get pretty annoyed if someone insisted on calling you a woman nonstop. Sometimes, people need to be louder when they’re facing an existential crisis as they are in the USA among other places.

Not seeing many downvotes. I think people understand nuance more than you expected. :)

I’m surprised by this decision, since Ubuntu’s strength is stability and by extension, friendliness to new users. Imo, a better move would be to ship a separate “unstable” release with non-LTS kernels.

The headline is an understatement.

Here’s one:

Thanks for the link! These are fun.

Worth a look at Coros. I find their battery life and product support to be much better than the garmin watches I’ve owned. They even added maps as an update for existing watches when they could have forced people to buy a new watch for that feature. Not FOSS though.

If there was an open source GPS watch that could last long enough with enough accuracy for my workouts, I’d be all over it!

A concern of mine is the increasing prevalence of natural disastors as global warming worsens. Our plant and storage location may be safe now but natural disasters will be way worse and in unexpected locations as we’re already seeing.

Worth considering a PWA too.

To add onto this, a good starting point is to clone the repo of an app you like from GitHub, Codeberg, GitLab, etc, then work on open issues.
