I think it's such a boomer-y perspective to treat phones as toys. For a lot of people, smartphones are their main computer. People do their homework, do research, learn languages, fill out forms, and lots of other productive activities.
Even communication is not frivolous. What if someone wants to talk to their father working in a factory in distant Guangdong for their birthday?
Historically, past housing crises have been resolved with massive input from the federal government. I hope this government acts with urgency, people are suffering out there, but given that the last housing minister was literally a housing investor I'm not very hopeful. I think only the NDP has the right alignment of interest and values.
I’ve been extremely impressed with Memmy. Clean, stable and easy to use.
The main feature that’s missing is fast account switching, which IMO is even more important on a federated service.
edit: nm, long press on your account on the bottom to switch. The app is great!
Can someone explain this to me?
Edit: haha of course BotW. Didn’t make the connection. Thanks.
Yes donating. This is a good cause.
Yes I use iCloud, but I think you can use any cloud service. Works great. Never had a sync issue. They also have a paid service they provide for clouding syncing.
I can’t live without Obsidian. There are other similar linked note taking apps but Obsidian is the best in my opinion, not least because it just uses your folder structure and plain text markdown. I can’t imagine doing research, or just organizing my life and thoughts, without it.
I’m not against EVs, but let’s not forget that they are still expensive and inefficient car infrastructure. EVs won’t do anything about congestion on the 401, or suburban sprawl causing the housing crisis.
Cars will always exist, but what we really need is more public transportation. It’s a no brainer to have a high speed train from London to Quebec City. And electric bikes — yes biking in winter is fine, people all over the world do it, Canadians used to do it before cars took over. You just need good bike infrastructure and dedicated snow removal for bikes.
I can’t believe anyone supports Poilievre. His cartoon libertarianism is so far right, not even Republicans in the US go that far anymore. No serious economist, anywhere on the spectrum, is a libertarian.
I’ve never had a problem with wake from sleep on Mac in years. I’ve never even heard of anyone else having a problem. Is this widespread?
Basic macroeconomics: The budget of a sovereign government with control over monetary policy is fundamentally not like a family budget.
