One would argue almost anything is a privilege and not a right. Would you be okay with forcing someone to comply with searches if they had to maintain a WHMIS certification, or a smart-serve? I mean servers often under-report their tips, so we should allow the CRA to search their home for cash at any time.

It's crazy as the police will use the power to pull anyone over for any reason, to target minorities.

What's amazing to me is that society views carding as wrong, rightfully so in my opinion.

However our laws allow the police to stop anyone driving at any time for no reason and demand ID.. and a breath sample, upto and including two hours after you've driven.

I wish we didn't live in a "papers please" country.

Lando I feel like is going to be choking for a bit. His team mate is in his head.

I still think it's too early. If we look at 2024 it wasn't a a done deal by race 4. I still am living with Ferrari hopium.

Right now it's currently cutting American social media out. It confuses me all the buy Canadian stuff being on an American run website.

I was wondering if there was really a good reason for CloudFlare to be used? I understand Lemmy.ca has dedicated hardware in a datacenter. Seems odd to pipe all our data through a US company as we are in a trade war.

I was planning a trip to PA and Las Vegas in 2025.

Now those have been changed to France and Amsterdam. It'll cost me much more, however I'm not going to America for the foreseeable future.

This is very exciting! I have no idea why we keep buying California Reds in Ontario when we can be drinking either Canadian wines or even old world reds from Italy or France.

 

So as we're all trying to cut America out of our lives at this instance, one of my soft spots is YouTube. I spend likely too much time there following different creators.

I know there are some peertube instances that exist, however looking through them they all seem very very specific to their niche. Does anyone know of a PeerTube instance that is both Canadian and 'General' content?

They're colocation in a BC datacenter. So likely not what you're looking for unless you have hardware to use, and just are looking for rack space.

Despite the Doug hate, with this being done in conjunction with other provinces it will result in billions of dollars in lost trade with the states which is what we should be excited for.

Yeah, I'm curious at the scaling problems. 1000 active users isn't that many. Especially if this is touted as being the next reddit. There are many subreddits with orders of magnitude more active users.
