Say what you will about the country, I have my fair share of criticism regarding Canada and would agree that we are, on the whole, cringe. But our flag? It’s a good flag. I don’t care what you think.

You’re mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn’t take that many for you to be identifiable.

You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.

I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

This just made me imagine a modded Civic but with rockets.

Honestly, knowing people who mod Civics, I wouldn’t be surprised of this has already been done somewhere in the world.

It’s a complete guide for beginners, they never claim to be a complete list of display managers.

The Canadian flag is not a “bog standard three stripes” design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.

I don’t understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a “Canada” to speak of, is “cringe”.

The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn’t bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It’s instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.

You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

I used to be pretty active in my city and province’s subreddits, and while there were occasional assholes everyone was mostly reasonable.

I went and checked my city’s subreddit the other day and it has gotten substantially worse since I’ve left Reddit two years ago. It’s all people posting the same trashy racist rhetoric about immigrants. We used to post screenshots of those same takes from the local FB groups to make fun of those idiots, now the subreddit is those idiots.

Your comments would have been fine in answer to someone seeking support for porn addiction/dependency, but it’s completely irrelevant in a tech community on a post about people circumventing silly restrictions.

You clearly came into the thread with a specific agenda which was irrelevant to the thread’s topic, and spammed the same comment in multiple replies. What did you expect? I don’t even entirely disagree with your opinions about pornography but do you seriously think this was the best way to communicate your point?

I don’t have any specific recommendations for a stacking WM, but I doubt trying to force Hyprland into stacking would be your best option.

Based on your wants and a very quick search, I’d maybe check out Wayfire.

I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn’t use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using “gay” in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.

“That’s how they do it on 4chan” is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one’s behaviour.

Just waiting for the web to become unbearably enshittified so I can finally be free.

Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

I wasn’t talking about people on group rides, I’m talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.

Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it’s honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.

You should know that it doesn’t take “motor vehicle speeds” to cause a (serious) accident.

That’s not what I said. I was pointing out how your “swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light” is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.

Cyclists on the whole break traffic laws a lot less than motorists.

Also, I love how your only example of “the dangers of cyclists” involves someone in a car having to react to a cyclist. If everyone is cycling, speeds are low enough to react and typically avoid collisions even if a potential conflict arises. The “forces someone to swerve” phenomenon mostly happens at the speed of motor vehicles.

Bicycle insurance and plates? Why? That makes zero sense. We have these for cars because cars are dangerous, not just for funsies. Bicycles don’t pose the same danger.

Walking… if you have time and physical ability, but who cares about that, right? It’s so cool and eco-friendly to say “just walk 20 minutes”.

Yeah it is cool and eco-friendly to walk 20 minutes (assuming one is able-bodied, as you mention.)

“Gay student allowed to graduate” being news in 2025 is really good and fun and fine.

Stay safe, American queers (and PoC, and women, and honestly at this point everyone in the US… maybe except Trump supporters.)

More trains, trams, bicycle and/or e-scooter rentals, walking (a mile is what, 20 minutes walk at most?)

He said that in 2007. Things have changed a lot since then, Debian is as easy to install as any other big distro (most of them, including Debian, use the Calamares installer nowadays)

OP linked to an image in the article rather than the article itself, lol

Here’s the article!

Hey OP, you can edit posts on Lemmy if you want to fix it!
