Pirate Software, a former Blizzard and Amazon Games dev, did a YouTube video on this recently with some fair criticisms of the initiative. It’s worth a watch.

This is why I use an email aliasing service now. Every new site gets a different email address but they all get forwarded to the same account. If one ever misbehaves, their associated email address alias gets deactivated. It’s great to keep track of who’s selling addresses too.

Sometimes unsubscribe just isn’t good enough.

They weren’t social liberals but they were still liberals nonetheless, and their position on the spectrum was closer to where most liberals are internationally, the centre-right. Take a look at Australia and Britain’s liberals for example. Only in the US are liberals considered to be the left wing because there’s only 2 viable options and actual leftists in the US who vote have to settle with being in the same party as liberals rather than having their own party, which the fptp voting system would ensure would fail. US media has not helped by misrepresenting the definition for decades.

The federal party is run by social liberals, which are centrist.

I’ve been hiking most weekends in northeastern Ontario. There’s been a lot of rain but I haven’t let that stop me from enjoying the forests and lakes

 

Hey Lemmy! Now that summer’s in full swing, how are you enjoying the warm weather? Have you made plans to get outdoors and explore our massive and beautiful country?

 

Interesting insights into how controlled the narrative is in /r/canada on Reddit. One of the things that struck me was that there’s no self posts in /r/canada unlike many other countries’ and provinces’ subreddits. It would be nice if we differentiated ourselves here on Lemmy with more self posts

The province doesn’t permit them to institute congestion charges.
