  • I can't say the Liberals have failed yet... but they are taking a very big risk here.

    If this shoehorning in of legislation comes to bite them in the ass, and lawsuits (due to the government not living up to their obligations to First Nations as they said they would) cause the Liberals to fail on their fast-track promise, they're going to be punished in the next election(s). The electorate in general are giving them some runway for a year to see results though.

  • I'm just going to assume Left Wing Orthodoxy means not being a bigot, i.e. paying a minimum respect to minority groups and showing a little bit of empathy. Voat used to be a thing where shitheads flocked, that's been gone for a while. The Fediverse edgelord troll habitats were Wolfballs and ExplodingHeads, those died years ago after being widely defederated there was no one left for them to troll.

    !conservative@lemm.ee used to be a lite version of Conservative echochamber news, but it turned into a satirical version of itself eventually and the instance is shutting down next week.

    So no, there's currently no place for shitheads and trolls on the connected Fediverse, but we do have a growing selection of niche hobby communities, still small but they're up and coming.

  • Yeah it happens a lot (well with at least 10 mins more). At my job people are given 40 hours (or more, without overtime) of work to be done, and then call meetings that eat up into those hours, so ending early gives people back the time the meeting took away from them.

  • Good labour laws can foster a work culture that can make people feel dedicated to their line of work, and give them room to wind down projects rather than be cut off inmediately.

    He admits he made some bad decisions:

    One of those decisions was working my butt off for years. Nobody told me to spend 20 hours on weekends or to work as hard as I did, but I did it because it felt like the right thing to do.

  • For one, servers running Amazon's ECS/EKS can switch to self-managed Kubernetes.

    Even if Trump is bluffing as usual, European governments and local councils should get the hint that the tech hegemony Google Amazon Apple and Microsoft is going to be used as an arm of the US government.

    Time to switch! Wololo

  • I mean as a Canadian, I knew that was coming since early last year if Trump would win. I couldn't know where we would land on the spectrum between nothing changed and Armageddon. What I did know was that, without fail, I would hear what stupid thing Trump did just about every day in the news, and it would be overwhelmingly exhausting.

    I have three pieces of advice. First, connect with the people around you offline, reinforce your ground truth. Second is keep your eyes on the ball of what you want to be better in the world so that you can keep going after it. Lastly, don't let right or left wing online propaganda, or the despair from crises the US, Israel, Russia, China or North Korea stir up paralyze you from taking action on those two things.

  • I mean I think its fine if people "know" the places they have to slow down for the cameras, if those places pose a greater risk of damage/injury from speeding than others.

    Sometimes I see police cruisers on the side of the road flashing their lights on which seems like a similar principle: they aren't trying to catch anyone but they are trying to slow them down through the area and it's effective.
