Ontario can end gridlock. But not with more highways

  • I'm guessing that's the 401? I know someone who used to commute on that and it sounded like fucking hell. Hours every day, in the car, driving, snacking, listening to the radio. You leave work and just get on a road in your car for hours.

    People talk shit about paying a lot of money for tiny places in the city but I'd rather live in a box than commute 3-4 hours a day for 30 years.

    • USB C vs USB A

    Jump

  • For charging and multi-port hubs C. For single device data ports I prefer A. For low power applications I prefer A. I actually prefer everything about A except all the things it can't do that C can.

  • The slim side of a USB-A is always 'up'. That's the convention. For monitors 'up' is usually the side not facing you.

  • I turned off my cellular. I'd suggest trying that first before jumping into another piece of tech.

    • Is driving a car this awful all the time?

    Jump

  • It gets easy, manual is better because I'm more focused on everything. It doesn't take that long to learn.

  • Do those really work though or do they take the edge off feeling absolute despair all the time?

  • Can someone TLDR this situation? Is this like 1/10th what Google does or is Firefox basically Chrome now?

  • One day I plan to enter the cologne phase of life but it hasn't happened yet. I like smells but I don't like mall shopping.

    • What's going on at Mozilla these days?

  • Yes. I actually shared it before I started reading, and ya it's bad.

    • The dilema of charging the users and a solution by integrating blockchain to fediverse

    Jump

  • Cryptocurrency is a nightmare space right now and I'm not sure how long or how it will recover. Particularly alt-coins. I don't have a problem with the other stuff.

    I'm not sold on decentralized infrastructure yet. I tried Presearch, and it's neat, but a lot of this things are like... when is it never going to be niche or a passing interest?

  • I think that until we get regulation it's better to avoid generating new tokens and asking people to buy into projects. There is an ungodly amount of scamming and financial nonsense right now and small cap tokens would get wrecked over and over and people would lose money. Even DAOs are too young to be used here.

    Also people hate cryptocurrency, as you can tell and I wouldn't taint the fediverse with potential a potential cryptocurrency scam. Nope. I think at best you could host an instance and accept donations from large/reputable tokens.
