Miller and this guy. Two confirmed Nazis… this is going to end up great. /s

Brilliant! That worked!

If we do, this virus will make covid look like child’s play, apparently.

This was one of the rare times I installed a firmware update without waiting. They even sent an email telling me how urgent it was to get my NAS patched.

To that note, anyone have any idea how to get Hyper Backup to stop telling me that my backups are “partial” because Video Station is no longer found? It’s not even on the list of apps, but tells me that it’s been disabled as an option to back up because it’s not available. Annoying!

I can vouch for Mailbox, too.

It’s also easy to get it set up on third part email clients.

Yeah, because google is vague.

Not sure what “100” means, but that’s what it peaked at.

Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing “choose your country”, cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

Compared to something like the FF extension “SingleFile”, I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

I think it’s fair to say that there are a lot of cases that can be expedited without the need to drag them along.

The problem with our current justice system (at least in its current state) is that it HIGHLY favours criminals.

Rapists walking free, drunk drivers getting their fourth or fifth “warning”, people being arrested for crimes while breaching a previous court order, people murdering cyclists and getting off with a minor traffic ticket, etc.

With more judges, a more efficient process, and more Crown prosecutors, hopefully things will move along more quickly. That won’t happen unless our government gets their priorities straight.

Either way, victims should always come first; society second; criminals last.

It has more about the courts not having enough judges or enough rooms to process every trial than the police.

Maybe we should get rid of court buildings and do everything virtually. If you’ve even been to a court, 90% of the time is basically wasted for everyone involved, simply due to how slow things are when you are in a physical building.

If we don’t modernize our justice system, we’ll never have enough judges or rooms to prosecute every criminal.

Maybe Dougie wants to explain why he’s able to find money to rip out existing bike lanes, or to build a FUCKING TUNNEL UNDER THE 401, but not have enough to make sure that our justice system moves as the speed of crime.

Kind of sucks that they have to do it indoors in November.

The one in Toronto is done outdoors while it’s still warm, and the atmosphere is way more festive than an indoor venue.

The majority of criminal cases in the province have ended with charges being withdrawn, stayed, dismissed or discharged before a decision at trial since 2020.

Meanwhile, 30% of my property taxes go to police services, and doesn’t matter in the end whether a criminal is caught or not.

Concerning, to say the least.

Consider this.

Trump is…a life-long conartist, a convicted felon, adulterer, rapist, womanizer, misogynist, racist, a twice impeached President, a guy who somehow had nearly a dozen close associates found to be guilty of crimes … Breathes

Someone who “gets along” with some of the most brutal dictators alive like they’re buddies, has been caught on tape describing sexually assaulting women, who has lied over 30,000 times in a span of 4 years, who has made threats against journalists, who has publicly mocked a disabled person, who has publicly shat on veterans, who criticised a POW for getting caught… Breathes

A guy who denied COVID, who promoted unproven treatments while condemning those who wanted to safeguard public health, who rambles incoherently about topics he has little to no grasp on, who thinks everything he does is “perfect” and "nobody has done a “better job”, is in obvious mental decline, has never admitted to being wrong or apologized for anything…

And so on!

Now, would you invite someone like that to dinner? Or have him work in your small business?

Probably not. Nobody would, not even if they were related to such a person.

Why then, would over half the voting public stake the future of their country on giving him a second term as President?

You don’t have to like Harris, or even agree with most of her policies, but she is not a trainwreak of a human being and would most certainly be a better person for the job. Any job.

As a Canadian, to know that a garbage heap of a person like Trump could be freely given excessive power by the voting public only tells me that it could happen in Canada, even if the alternative candidate was 1000x better in every way.

North America, and democracy as a whole, seems doomed. And with rich idiots, podcast morons, and domestic terrorists actively supporting a candidate like that, I worry about the future stability of our global community. And we aren’t even close to being prepared for what malicious use of AI could do during an election.

It takes far more effort and time to build a peaceful, balanced society. And less than four years to completely dismantle that progress.

Didn’t Democrats raise a record amount of money this election cycle? And they were supposed to use it to get out the vote?

Harris only had months of campaigning, while Trump had over a year. That alone put her at a massive disadvantage, since much of the vote is often decided (in people’s minds) well before the elections.

But the reality is, as long as 50%+ are OK being in a cult run by an incoherent madman, they’ll ignore the self-harm and keep voting the same way.

I guess we can only hope that the leopards absolutely massacre those who gave him this power. Democracy will fall all over the world because of this, and his groupies won’t have a pot to piss in once his “concepts” are put into action.

And honeybees even often outcompete native pollinators, which is bad for biodiversity.

Of course, Texas has to incentivize this type of destruction:

"In Texas, the law qualifies people who own between five and 20 acres of land for tax breaks if they rear bees for five years. "

This is actually not a good thing.

For one, Honeybees disrupt the structure and functionality of plant-pollinator networks, and they are nowhere near the type of pollinator we actually need (i.e. native, wild pollinators that thrive outside artificial colonies created to benefit humans).

There’s no balance if we only increase populations of honeybees. “Raising nonnatives does not “save the bees”—and may harm them.”

The article (the Yahoo one linked in the OP) does cover the detriments of these domestic bee colonies, but right at the end of the article…

The David Suzuki Foundation has a write-up on this topic, if anyone’s interested.

I’ve been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.

You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/

You’ll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.

edit: holy hell. Grammar.

It doesn’t matter what he says.

It really doesn’t. Just watch a rally, in full, and try to summarise one topic he addressed. Just one.

You can’t, because he babbles incoherently. He knows nothing about any of the topics that he stumbles into.

The only time his words can be understood, provided he doesn’t go off script, is when he’s reading what someone else wrote for him!
