  • The Liberal Party of Canada can hardly be called progressive, and I never implied as such. I never even mentioned the Liberals in my comment, I'm just talking about Conservatives here.

  • Subscribed! I'll try and post some local artists when I have the time. Is music in French cool too, or do you want the focus to be more on English?

  • Conservatives don't give a fuck about the economy. Research shows time and time again that progressive ideas are positive for the economy (housing the homeless, socialized healthcare, public transit, education, just to name a few examples).

    They don't care. Don't listen to Conservatives when they tell you their beliefs. They're full of shit. It always eventually boils down to "I want my in-group to have advantages over the out-group". They're not the party of "fiscal responsibility", they're the party of social hierarchies.

  • I think you're overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P

  • Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play's Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I'll paste it here:

    4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

    I'd wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the "unverified sources" popup Android gives you if you try to install an app in another manner.

  • You almost never hear someone tell a good joke about steaks. It really is a rare medium well done.

    I knew a fortune teller, she was rather short but she told me a great joke about steak. Unfortunately, she went missing a while ago and no one knows where she is.

    She's just a small medium at large now.

  • I've seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here's a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.

  • If anyone wants an example of Québecois swearing, I recommend checking out Lorembarnak. It's lorem ipsum but tabarnak-ified.

  • They didn't list alternative platforms, all of those are alternative frontends or apps for YouTube.

  • I'm not an Apple user but I've heard good things about the Alfred launcher on MacOS.

  • I disagree, I think it definitely is a political statement.

    However, kicking someone out for "politics" at a sports game, where you need to stand for national anthems and 75% of the time they'll make you "honour" some random veteran is ironic and pretty disgusting.

    I don't think anyone should be bothered by political clothing at a baseball game unless said politics are actively hateful, which "Canada is not for sale" is quite obviously not.

  • That's a lot of nuts!

  • If I search for comments, I'll see stuff from whenever, but it works as it should when searching for posts.

  • I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

    Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

  • looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

    Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P

  • blind brothers and sisters

    No gender-neutral language for our non-binary siblings? For shame, comrade.

  • This comment reminded me, I have met some people who played in a French/German improv league (LIBER). They're based in Berlin and perform in both French and German. I'm not sure how they incorporate both languages, but I believe it's just a free-for-all, speak what you want, answer in whatever type situation.
