This is an interesting comment, because on the one hand, you're saying that Carney's plan is not likely to be very effective, but on the other hand you're saying he sounds smart and that's reassuring.

To me that sounds like the definition of an emotional response ... no?

Without knowing how serious your relationship is, it's hard to say.

I would advise not doing this if the main reason is to save money, especially with one person being the sole owner. The power dynamic is too unbalanced.

But if you're both pretty sure this is a long-term, perhaps lifelong, relationship, then no one here can give you the correct answer. Set aside some time, sit down with your partner, discuss things from both a practical and emotional perspective, do this again in another week or two, and find an arrangement you both feel good about.

“Independent media should be allowed on the precinct, there’s no reason why it should be a small cabal of government approved mouthpieces,” Poilievre said.

Hmm ok yeah that's a fair point I guess

“I would love to see a scenario where every different kind of journalist from all backgrounds, of all opinions, is given a chance to report on what happens on the hill.”

Interesting, sure, go on

Poilievre’s spokesperson, Sebastian Skamski, did not respond to multiple requests from PressProgress seeking clarification ...

Ahhhhhh there it is

Oh wow - did not know that!

Bit of a weird choice, given that routers usually allow limiting connections to specific MAC addresses as a security feature. Everything's a trade-off, I guess...

Dunno, I found it pretty easy to set up different rules for different devices.

"Some people are going to get their heads cut off. "

Funny he should say that

Yeah out of many changes that distorted or outright altered meaning, one of the worst bits was that the second version eliminated the crucial first few words - which acknowledged the original post and therefore set a particular tone.

Communication is way more complex than statistical relationships between words, and I sincerely doubt that any of these systems will ever be able to fully mimic that complexity

"Zuckerberg’s interaction with the page was first noticed by Gazpacho Machine, a man who posts reviews of food he eats while taking showers."

the internet was a mistake

Glad this says 'photo-op' and not that they 'met with' Trump, because it really looks like they just got a handshake and this weak thumbs-up picture

I have no idea what the views of the person in the article are, but the Idea of a supposedly federated platform like blusky banning people is a bit ridiculous

This take is ridiculous, more like.

The whole point of federation is that each provider is responsible for moderation on their own service. Bluesky is indeed running a service, not just writing the AT Protocol specification. It shouldn't be controversial to boot people who have explicitly said they're there to promote bigotry.

And, because federation, then those bigots can make their own instance, right? Sure, and the Bluesky instance and everyone else should then defederate that instance due to harassment.

That's how federation works.

After having recently restored some stuff from an aging external hdd, i'm seriously considering getting a few dvdr discs and burning the important things every now and then.

I know they don't last forever either, but - just as a random example that has definitely never happened to me hahaha - you can drop them from a height of 3 feet and still get files off them!

 

Relative newcomer to Bitwig, making music as a hobby. Mostly in-the-box synths & samples stuff, but sometimes I'll record instruments or vocals too.

The last DAW I was using was Cubase v5 (lol), so I've been checking out some tutorials on Bitwig's workflow and functionality. I really like the ease of adding subtle expression variations, and the modulation options are an absolute game-changer.

But I feel like I've only scratched the surface - what are some features that are not quite so obvious that you like to use?

Interesting essay looking at the role of friction in human development, and how a particular vision of technology's function in society - one that seeks to eliminate friction - paradoxically reduces our autonomy, rather than enhancing it.

This post was reported as spam on technology @ lemmy.world, and was removed, then eventually reinstated, by the mods. The original reason for removal was "it's not really technology-related." I suspect it's being brigaded due to my cryptocurrency criticism, but I have no way to know for sure.

(Edit - update: I have now been banned from technology @ lemmy.world for ... I guess asking the mods how this isn't tech-related? LOL)
