I used to do social media for a small theatre company. I would have adored this rather than constantly fighting with the atrocity that is Meta Business Suite.

Que de courage et de résilience de la part de cette personne!

Je souhaite que ses agresseurs souffrent.

hoping to eventually switch to searxng

Do it! Easily the best search engine I’ve ever used. I do recommend going through all the settings beforehand, though.

I knew that on Lemmy someone would have commented this before me.

I use https://search.bus-hit.me/ but honestly searxng is best used with personalised settings.

I’m not saying supply & demand doesn’t count, I’m questioning why you’re so focused on the demand incurred by immigration and not landlords are the wealthy artificially limiting supply for their bottom line. Immigrants are not to blame for our woes, it’s always the ruling class.

Definitely must be frustrating to try and (wrongly) attack someone objectively left leaning and anti establishment for being right wing

I’m not attacking you, I don’t know you, I’m just trying to respond to what you said in your comment. I’m not sure where you read a personal attack in my comments (if I recall, you’re the one who called me a “dummy”) but sincerely sorry if anything I said bothered you.

I don’t care (in the context of this conversation, anyway) whether you’re a right-winger trying to stir anger against immigrants or a left-winger who’s been submerged in so much right-wing rhetoric from the mainstream media that it’s infecting your worldview (which, hey, it happens to the best of us).

You’re parroting right-wing framing that immigrants are at the root of the issue when in reality they’re victims suffering just as much (and often more!) than the rest of us. That’s what I’m addressing. You’ll just have to trust me when I say that I haven’t formed a negative opinion of you as a person based off of one interaction on Lemmy.

Also, what was your portrait of Canada growing up? Exclusively hockey, Donuts, bad coffee, and free healthcare? That’s all the national pride/identity you’ve ever had?

I’ve never been really into nationalism. Even then, I’m francophone so my relationship to Canadian identity is complicated to say the least, and I’d much earlier identify as Acadian than Canadian. At least as an Acadian I can be proud that we’ve maintained our culture throughout centuries of attempts to assimilate us. Most “proud Canadians” I know are just kinda xenophobic. Either that or they’re immigrants who worked hard for their citizenship, in which case I feel that’s more pride in themselves than pride in the country.

Well first off, it seems my first comment came off as more aggressive than I intended, based on your name-calling, so sorry about that, I didn’t mean to upset you in anyway.

I did read your entire comment (both of them, actually!)

I’m just frustrated by your take, because immigration is ultimately irrelevant to the shitty job market, the housing crisis, or whatever else the right likes to blame on immigrants these days. Immigrants are a scapegoat to avoid general frustration being directed towards the ruling class responsable for the conditions we live in.

If your issue is with companies exploiting workers, why does your comment do nothing but talk about immigration policy?

growing up I always felt Canada was a peacekeeping nation that helped people out and gave people struggling from war/oppression a safe place to live and become a part of the Canadian tapestry.

That’s honestly quite an idealized portrait of Canada.

In Canada we used to have a serious immigration policy that was part of the Canadian identity

This sentence is insane, care to explain how immigration policy has ever been a part of Canadian identity? As far as I know, “Canadian identity” consists and has consisted mostly of hockey, crappy coffee, and a false sense of superiority over the USA.

I love how you seem to be focusing on immigration as the issue rather than capitalists exploiting desperate people, even though you seem aware of the abuse the wealthy inflict on the rest of us. Yes, companies abusing immigrants in desperate situations is common and a huge issue. The solution is not curbing immigration, it’s regulating corporations.

I want this as a pronoun pin

I use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on mobile. I have a few extensions on both, which could definitely contribute to issues. When I have issues (usually government sites or financial stuff, sometimes DRM-related stuff for media) it’s easier to just use a Chromium-based browser with no extensions than try to troubleshoot specifically what’s causing the issues. I keep Falkon (desktop) and Vanadium (mobile) installed for this purpose.

I get the feeling a lot of issues people are having in Firefox might be due to extensions or settings, which gets “fixed” by using another browser (which happens to be Chromium-based because most browsers are) and they blame the issue on Firefox itself.

I currently work as a barista, but I’ve also previously been a pharmacy assistant in a methadone clinic for recovering opioid addicts.

Honestly apart from the paperwork and the stakes involved if one messes up, the jobs are pretty similar.

Personally, I think refraining from distributing genocidal propaganda is pretty functionally dissimilar to being a bigot.

I don’t want to come off as abrasive and I don’t want to assume any ill-intent on your part, but it’s fucking frustrating hearing takes like this as a trans person. Equating the refusal to participate in a hateful disinformation campaign to refusing to marry a gay couple is deifying the liberal concepts of law & order at the expense of human decency. It is not hypocrisy to support anti-fascist actions whilst denouncing fascist actions, even if they express those actions in a similar fashion. For example, I largely support Just Stop Oil’s disruptive protests, whereas I would be disgusted if fascists defaced artworks by spray-painting swastikas all over. Is that hypocritical?

Again, sorry if I come on strongly in this comment, my frustrations are definitely from society at large rather than your comment, but having your right to exist being framed as a “political belief” is frankly exhausting.

Using the name of a place to refer to its residents is super common and widely-understood. It’s a form of metonym.

Another example of metonymy would be “White House cracks down on crime”, obviously the White House is a building and cannot enforce laws. “White House” in this situation is a metonym for the President and/or their administration.

Hope this helps clear up your confusion! 😊

What happens to chicks is an intrinsic part of egg farming, though.

You don’t need even near the amount of male hatchlings that get produced for reproductive purposes. The vast majority of male chicks on egg farms get ground up.

Also, from an animal rights standpoint, “hey we don’t kill all of them, we need some males in order to subjugate their offspring to cruel conditions!” is more of an argument against egg farming than for it.

Kubernetes can also be known as K8s

So many posts at /c/[email protected] make a lot more sense to me now, thanks!

(Also, as a footnote, Espresso shots die after 5-10 seconds; the crema just dissipates after then, making the shot taste acidic)

Espresso shots “dying” within 10 seconds is a myth, apparently started by Starbucks’ training funnily enough. The flavour of a shot definitely dies down as it gets cooler and the crema dissipates, but it’s a matter of minutes rather than seconds before a shot tastes bad.

Heck it takes more than 10 seconds to get the drink to the clients in every café I’ve worked in. If espresso dies after 10 seconds, I have never served a good espresso. I’ve also apparently never had good espresso at work, because I swear every damn time I pull a shot for myself a client comes right in before I can take a sip :P

There’s screenshots under both the Google Play and IzzyOnDroid download links which are both listed on the GitHub page.

I agree that devs should add screenshots of their apps to their GitHub readme! But I have to point out you spent more effort writing this comment than looking for screenshots :P

Birth control seems like a slightly less pressing issue than an ongoing genocide. You’re coming off as extremely callous here.
