some candidates and volunteers “faced intimidation” from constituents

This is sad to hear. I hope they are OK.

Another reason why FPTP needs to end.

Not really sure what is bold about it, pretty similar to the other parties but missing how they would measure their goals.

Another thing that bothers me is that they do not mention multi-unit homes, city density or collective work(unless they used terms I am not familiar).

Same vibes as the guy that "fought" a Lion with Toilet paper.

TIL Ground News is the new Raid.

Thanks for the video, very informative and entertaining.

This looks more like a tool for people working with "sentiment analysis" than to get the properly informed.


Not a trustworthy methodology.

They are based on the average rating of three independent news monitoring organizations: All Sides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check. ...

...the analysis is done in the context of the U.S. political system.

I am not sure if you replied to the wrong thread, good for you that it works for your needs, but

My point is that GOG did not drop Linux support and instead partnered with another company. Not about the quality of the software.

  1. Gog waning Linux support is completely unrelated to Heroic
  2. Gog did not seek partnership
  3. Heroic devs just applied to a program that anyone can apply to.

That said, it is shady to inject links and not notify it on the release note or change log. I think there was a message on their mastodon at some point, and the implementation crashed for some people with more restrictive firewall on their network, there were some discussions on the issues page of their code repository.

Ah, the bambieshart's brocade quest. The video really sells the voice acting!

Gog stopped their own linux launcher and instead unofficially partnered

Stop spreading this nonsense.

Heroic added affiliated links to their software that anyone can apply for (without notifying the users at first).

I like ceramic tiles in places that will be wet a lot, like washrooms and kitchens.

The previous place I lived had vinyl tiles, I liked the feel, but they lost colour in high traffic areas quite fast, like in the living room, or under office chairs with casters.

Parquet floor might be my favourite, I remember when I was a child, we moved to a place and my parents removed the old carpet just to reveal this beautiful pattern underneath.

Sadly, here, I lifted a corner of the carpet, and it seems to be some sort of concrete slab underneath.

Remove the carpet, yeah, I was reading and a bunch of things they add to textiles contain PFAS, from flame retardant to water/stain proofing.

It seems hardwood is the best option for health and environment, but also one of the most expensive

Thank you for organizing it. I loved learning about so many songs.

I see, thanks for the heads-up, that did not cross my mind.

By the age of the carpet here, I don't think it is PFAS-free. I think it will be best if I use the money to remove it.
