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.

"Less foreign students and more residential units in the local marketplace means Windsor area renters are getting cost-of-living relief. Article content

“There’s just an overwhelming inventory. It’s almost a renters’ market,” said Goldmar Property Management owner Patrice Surette.

“What we’re seeing is tons of listings and they’re not moving as quickly,” adds Dan Gemus, co-owner of Dan Gemus Real Estate Team."

"Surette describes the past year not so much as a price decline as a market adjustment.

“Maybe the market was overly inflated, but the market is coming back to where the rents should be,” Surette told the Star. “It’s great for tenants."


Looks promising! Lower rents is better for everyone.

Vilain Pingouin -- meaning Ugly Penguin in English, is a Quebecois rock band that has been active ever since 1986. Originally playing in English rock bands, the singer/guitarist Rudy Caya and the drummer Michel Vaillancourt wish to expand into more franophone music, originally forming a band called "Les Taches", until they expanded the band more and called themselves Vilain Pingouin.

Information sourced from the bands wikipedia page. Further information from the band itself it available on their website, including oncoming tour dates and merch!

As someone learning french, I must say this band is quite nice. The music is quite nice, and the lyrics are clearly pronounced well enough that I can follow along without much difficulty.

We’ve spoken with one of the co-founders of British game developer legends Sensible Software.

Sensible Software remains one of the most iconic names in gaming history, celebrated for its innovative designs, sharp humor, and a catalogue of unforgettable titles. From Sensible Soccer to Cannon Fodder and Wizball, the studio helped define an era with games that were as diverse in concept as they were groundbreaking in execution.

A sign points the way to the  emergency room at the hospital in Kitimat, B.C. The hospital’s ER crisis peaked in January, 2024, when it was shuttered for almost 250 hours.

Don Glasgow is lucky he had a heart attack on April 24.

Had his organ faltered after 7 p.m. a day earlier or a day later, he would have found the doors locked at his nearest emergency department in Lillooet, a mountain town about two hours from Kamloops.

I'm trying to add a word to my filter. Let's say it's "orange". I type "o", it collapses my keyboard, says saved settings. I type "r", same thing. I takes forever to type in a word. Can it update after I type more or hit enter or save settings?
