Hey @Reshirams_Rad_Slam@mastodo.neoliber.al, not sure how this thread shows up in Mastadon but its a Lemmy thread https://lemmy.ml/post/38672854

And 82 Canadian flags 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

the US killing itself has made me weirdly more patriotic

rage bait?

She’s the best little menace

Yeah I’ve been living that way more than ever since work stopped allowing us to use email clients other than gmail’s web app. I used to get email notifications with thunderbird but now I check my email like once a week when I remember

The only emails I ever get really are Jira and Github updates along with meeting invites. The updates are fine but I’m already on top of those and then the meeting invites just show up in my calendar so I don’t really need the actual email for them

I got up to 10,102 unread a while back before my friend begged me to mark them all as read

edit: to be fair Github spams me and my department doesn’t really email each other

edit 2: apparently I’m getting back up there with 494

I would sort of do that in a “well yeah I do that too” sort of way but just recently found out I actually have ADHD lol

Really? I have two 4k monitors, one being 160hz and I find they’re handled way better by Wayland over X11. Even fractional scaling is perfect now

…have you actually used Wayland? If you’re using Plasma or GNOME, its indistinguishable from X11 except it actually has a slightly more (inexplicable tbh) polished feel to it.

This comment is incredibly misinformed

I’m sure glad RFK Jr is trying to make sure that happens here in Canada too

Purely anecdotal but they’re the only news site that I’ve ever given my email to and I actually enjoy seeing their emails. They send entire (interesting) articles that can be read with no CSS/tracking images enabled and their monetisation is a small text ad that breaks a single couple of paragraphs.

I’ve never gotten an email from them that was begging for money or anything like that, just basically an RSS feed of interesting articles

Haha, luckily I don’t have that problem because I live in a house pressed right up to a busy arterial city street

… Is this from 2006? It seems like a forward from grandma

Ahh okay that makes sense. If only there was some sort of checkmark (maybe blue?) that could indicate that an account is official or not

What does “Fan Account” mean in this case (under Newsome’s name)?

Aw man this person lol. I remember them from the old world subreddit

Take for example a situation where there are three parties. One is far left, one is center left, one is right. If 25% vote for far left, 35% vote for center left and 40% vote for right, it’s clear that the majority would favour a left candidate, but the right one will win.

Yeah, we have the exact same problem in Canada with our FPTP system :(. Canada is basically a two party state as well at the federal level. We do have additional parties like the Green Party and the NDP though and I wouldn’t want to refer to them as third parties. I guess where it works a bit better in Canada is that our smaller parties can create coalitions and/or have supply and confidence agreements that let them negotiate things in return for supporting the ruling party’s goals

If you are looking for an image, it was probably deleted

Absolutely diabolical 😠
