Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

Despite decades of advocacy and grieving, Canada has not done enough to protect Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people. The roadmap is there.

How to get started in postmarketOS?

The main website suggests "getting a second-hand SDM845 or MSM8916 device".

While I am fine with getting a second hand phone for this (as long as it doesn't cost as much as a new one) I see many devices with those chipsets that only partially work.

I am fully expecting this, but due to having been in the Android modding community in the past I know it is extremely common to abandon devices completely at random times. Since for this project I am willing to spend money on a dedicated device, I don't want to make a purchase I'll regret because they decided to move on to a newer device (or disappear from the internet completely).

I am not looking for a device with "perfect" support, as I feel like that would be useless. I want a device that works already well enough but that I can actually contribute with.

My own Poco X3 NFC seems good for this, but I don't think I want to commit my main smartphone yet. My older smartphone, the ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser, is completely unmentioned (but the base model is). Maybe I should simply use the latter and contribute by adding this extra device, or is it better to get something like a Google Pixel 3 or Motorola Moto G4 first?

Should I try to update the name of my cousin? The marks are about 20 years old. I think it will be obvious that it has been edited and draw more attention to the change.

This is ridiculous. How can we, as Canadians, let this happen? Let a whole nation starve to death like this?

Let's all flood our MP's phone lines and let them know that what is happening is immoral, and definitely is a Genocide, and that we must pressure the Israeli government to cease fire and let the humanitarian aid through, or face severe sanctions.

Just a five minute call you guys. If we all do it, it might actually have a real impact. And tell your family members, your relatives and your friends to do it too. Share the message!

Let's try to save the Gazans from starving to death.

It’s been two decades since the government of Canada passed the Civil Marriage Act — an official nod to approve same-sex marriage in the country.

The act passed July 20, 2005, following the Supreme Court of Canada upholding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 2003.

Not too many news outlets carrying this story. I can't say I'd heard of Simcoe.com before - but good on them for covering it. Given the surging rise in bigotry around the globe these days, Canada becoming the 4th country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage 20 years ago yesterday is something I'm proud of

The driver didn't wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.

I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I'm out.
