Canada seriously needs to make a big show of offering the same thing. It's now or never.

They already tried it. It's called Threads. It exists. People use it. And other instances have the choice to simply not federate with them.

To me (as unpopular as this sounds) that's the beautiful thing about FOSS and about Federation in particular. No one is stopping anyone from creating their own instance. Even Corporations.

It's the ultimate expression of "Anyone can do what they want, say what they want, believe what they want...but no one else is in any way obligated to listen to them/federate with them"

I know of companies that host small mastodon instances for their staff to communicate back and forth. I know of similar setups with lemmy instances. Anyone can use the technology for anything they wish to.

Conservatives are for the most part still deluded into thinking that his goal is to "balance the trade deficit."

It's horseshit. That's not his goal, it's his pretense; the idiot reason he gives his idiot followers so that they don't see him for the Russian asset he is.

Sadly, your father was absolutely correct. I like to think things have improved.

People need to wake up and realise that there isn't going to BE a "next election". At least not a fair one. Trump will win it the same way Putin and Orlov "win".

The sooner American's wake the fuck up to this and deal with it in the inevitable way, the sooner the planet can be done with this nightmare.

Now if you add a sliver of curiosity toward learning rudimentary French from the ROC

Technically we (rest of Canada) should already have rudimentary French since (at least when I was highschool) it was a core curriculum until the 9th grade, after which we had the choice to drop it or keep taking it as an elective. I stupidly chose not to continue, but still have the ability to understand about half of what I read or hear.

The problem in the ROC is the same problem that I have with my Portuguese; we simply don't speak it enough after highschool to maintain that base level of knowledge. It's something that I think most of us can dig up with some effort, but it doesn't flow off the tongue unless you're using it on a regular basis.

Took me a second to realise it's not "Theme at Bridge" and think "What the 'eff does that mean??!!"

Self Explanatory actually.

It’s basically self funded by me for now. I’m pondering at some point maybe doing a membership at like a dollar a month for hosting expenses.

Have you thought about applying for a CIRA grant? mstdn.ca did something similar with them back in 2022.

Dear Europe;

We have all of those things. Let's chat.

Sincerely Canada

It's still a long way to go. But it feels like we're doing a decent job of preventing destabilization from happening.

If Trump's hope is that hurting the economy somehow makes people switch to the Conservatives who will lick his mushroom and eventually hand over the keys, he's not aware of how much of a laughingstock P.P. Poppinfresh has become the moment Trudeau announced his resignation.

We have our share of Maple Maga to be sure, but they are both fewer in number, and mostly confined to two inbred provinces that constantly share their populations back and forth like kissing cousins.

I think Trump was not expecting the reaction he got when he hit us.

Does Jerboa's search function only work for communities or am I don't something wrong?

On the web, as well as other apps, a search brings up the choice between communities, users, comments and posts.

Haven't been able to make that work on Jerboa.

When is a level of detail considered "obsessive"? Asking for a friend.

Airspeed, Vertical speed, manifold pressure, RPM and fuel flow are all working as expected. Night lighting on the GPS and audio panel is working fabulously. There is night lighting on the center stack, but it's too subtle and will need some adjustments.

Manipulators are going to take a bit longer because I built a lot before really understanding how manipulators worked, so I have to go back and correct some things.

 
 
 

Congrats to him on getting his cup. Was always my favorite Senator. I've always believed that rather than building around a single superstar, teams should build around a trio of hardworking regular stars.

Trading EK...I was fine with it. But the team should have been built at that point around Captain Stone, Chabot and a promising young goalie.

 

Been taking advantage of a longer-than-expected stretch of under-employment to get some work done on a pet project.
