"Mark Carney" is the perfect name to demonstrate the Canadian "car" vowel. I am going to enjoy saying his name as Canadianly as possible.
Build a fucking electric high speed train from Windsor through Toronto to Montreal. Obviously. Until this happens, Canada is simply not taking climate change seriously.
Just gonna leave this here...
That’s cute. Do you have any idea how auto regulations work in Japan?
Stop performing for likes to an audience that already agrees with you, and be civil. This is why I left reddit. You're doing a great job proving to me that the reddit model is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed. Prove me wrong.
Yet.
Weaponisation of venture capital?
Why not?
I find this minimalism strangely appealing. Unfortunately, I do not live on a farm. I hope this thing is useful to those who do, though.
The 401, specifically, is a big reason I moved to Europe. This is the first time in half a year I heard the words "four oh one", and it's been the least stressful six months of my life.
Lol, all-hands-on-dick
Democracy is about more than just voting, especially in the US, where the vote is so weak and pathetic. The end of segregation wasn't decided by any vote.
Yep. It's no longer about which candidate you like the most. It's about which candidate will make the people you hate the most furious.
Yeah, there would be war crimes.
I read this and thought something didn't add up. If all Tate ever did was disrespect women and treat them like property, nobody would care about him. Unsurprisingly, the truth is more complicated. See this for example.
The manosphere appeals to its audience because it speaks to the very real lives of young men [. . .] romantic rejection, alienation, economic failure, loneliness, and a dim vision of the future.
The major problem lies in its diagnosis of the cause of male disenfranchisement, which fixates on the impacts of feminism. Here it contrasts the growing challenges faced by men with the increasing social, economic and political success experienced by women. This zero-sum claim posits that female empowerment must necessarily equate to male disempowerment, and is evidenced through simplified and pseudoscientific theories of biology and socioeconomics.
If Tate's appeal is not addressed, things will get worse.
Just use a manometer.
Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.
The CCP has the right idea this time. Do not negotiate with economic arsonists.
Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It's the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.
EU whacks Apple and Meta with $800 million in antitrust fines. Meta calls its penalty a ‘tariff’
More of a flick than a whack.
France's Aix-Marseille University offered a program for scientists "threatened in their research" in America. Europe is sensing an opportunity to attract talent as the Trump administration cuts funding to colleges.
Astrophysics team say observation of chemical compounds may be ‘tipping point’ in search for extraterrestrial life
From 2027, all ships are required to use less CO2 emitting fuels, or face penalties. It is aimed at forcing the industry to lower its carbon footprint and not everyone is happy with the deal.
Sparked by a video with millions of views, authorities in Taiwan have kicked off an investigation into how many Taiwanese secretly possess a Chinese ID card that could hold business benefits.
Organizers said they expected more than 10,000 people to attend demonstrations in eastern Saxony state. The far-right Alternative for Germany party is polling in second place ahead of February's federal election.
The social media giant is instead introducing community notes similar to those on Elon Musk's X. The move comes as Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg aims to reconcile with US President-elect Trump.
Disinformation campaigns could push Syria back to civil war – DW – 01/03/2025
A deluge of false or misleading information about Syria has flooded social media. Local and international actors are exploiting preexisting divisions to advance their own aims, experts say.
South Korea: Thousands protest for and against Yoon's arrest – DW – 01/05/2025
Pro and anti-Yoon protesters are demonstrating meters apart, in severe cold, as the impeached president's arrest warrant is set to expire at midnight local time on Monday.
Sharaa says it could take three years to write a constitution and longer to establish voting integrity.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov was the head of Russia's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops. Authorities said the explosion was caused by a bomb hidden inside an electric scooter.
NBC Meet the Press - May 12 - Sec. Blinken, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham

Firefox "tabs" in a tiling WM
In the image, these are not tabs. These are firefox windows, being rendered as tabs (and as stacks) by sway.
I just switched to sway, and found that browser tabs no longer make sense. They were designed in the UI dark ages to make up for how terrible Windows XP's WM was. Now, though, sway can do tabs just as well as firefox can, and sometimes, even better. It is better to unify the management of all windows under a single WM, rather than this ad hoc mixture of the real, global WM, and a fake firefox-only (or terminal-only) WM. That way, all windows are managed with a single set of keyboard shortcuts.
I also found firefox's toolbar to be way too thick.
So, I used userChrome.css to hide the tab bar and adjust the toolbar's height:
undefined
/* Hide the tab bar. */
#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
/* Adjust the toolbar height. */
#urlbar-container {
--urlbar-container-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
#urlbar {
--urlbar-toolbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
This is (another!!) one of Drew Devault's projects. Like harelang, it would be a gigantic simplification of existing software. And yes, it is written in harelang.
It was originally a test to see whether harelang could be used for OS development. (It can.)

The full investigation can be found here https://palace.navalny.com/ This video was recorded by Navalny before his return to Russia, but we decided to publish it afterward: Alexei didn’t want the main character of this investigation — Vladimir Putin — to think that we are afraid of him and that we ...
Navalnyi's finest hour.
May he rise again in three days.
Russia's opposition leader and most prominent Putin critic Alexei Navalny "lost consciousness" and died, Russian officials have said. Navalny was serving a prison sentence in a remote Arctic penal colony.
This one isn't in plaintext this time. I learned from last time that there are issues displaying plaintext on a phone, where there isn't any guarantee of 80 available columns. I thought that wasn't a tall order, but it turns out, it is.
Also, I really wanted links.
And I'm sorry I was so late in posting this. I have trouble finishing things...
