Canada@lemmy.ca•Employment Inequalities Will Persist Until More Industries Unionize
5·1 day agoIt’s also the only durable way to force the political system to represent workers instead of more moneyed interests that can dump lumper sums into political campaigns. Voting in elections alone is simply not enough, as demonstrated by various examples here and abroad, unfortunatrly.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada could face ‘worst kind’ of flu season as experts warn evolving strain may be mismatch for vaccine
61·2 days agoUnfortunately good N95 protection isn’t trivially cheap so it really sucks that people often on min wage have to supply their own or get coughed on.

111·2 days agoMask up with a reputable, well-fitting N95 in crowded places. I have survived many bus rides with actively secreting people next to me without getting sick since I learned to do it a few years ago. My fav is Moldex 2600 but there are many others.

5·3 days agoAnd electricity prices permeate thru a whole lot of other prices as oil does. So this is inflationary. How much, I don’t know.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Europe and Canada Are Finally Saying No to the U.S. F-35 Stealth Fighter, Motivated By a Desire For “Strategic Autonomy”
9·3 days agoI hope you’re right and I do think that’s likely what’s happening but I’m not certain.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why
11·3 days agoThat’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying that any diffetrnce in treatment must be clear and well signed. Not based on personal judgment and interpretation of one signage or another. And I do think we have to be separated from vehicle traffic in physical ways. Fuck vehicular cycling (just coming off of NJB’s video) 😄

Canada@lemmy.ca•Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why
11·3 days agoI know but I think this should happen for all vehicles. If we want lower speeds on back roads, we should speed limit or even better, narrow them instead of sprinkling stop signs that some people treat as yields.

23·3 days agoI think as of now RCAF still wants them and the deal isn’t off yet. I imagine it’s also a card that’s used in the negotiations with the US. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up staying with the F35s.

Technology@lemmy.world•Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI RaceEnglish
51·4 days agoThere’s research that shows the process of accumulating so much wealth both selects and creates sociopaths. This is why they’re very overrepresented in the upper class. Sure, not all of them are. Maybe you’d be the exception. I also think I’d be the exception but I’m not too confident. :D

Linux@lemmy.ml•Facing problems using Bazzite for software development
4·4 days agoDear sir/madam, NVIDIA 550 is available in the Debian stable repo itself so no need for third party repos and therefore no significant risk of breakage. If that driver works well enough you’re good. Ubuntu LTS has NVIDIA 580 in its official repo. I’m running in on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as I write. Then of course if you’re on Debian and NVIDIA 550 does not work for you, you could grab the official driver installer from NVIDIA which would very likely work fine on Debian stable, and it won’t break on its own via Debian updates since Debian stable doesn’t ship major version changes of its packages between releases. You’d likely have to uninstall, then reinstall every few years when you upgrade to the next stable Debian release, but that’s best practice for anything that was installed outside of Debian’s repo.
There’s always a possibility for unintended fuckups but these methods are fairly safe and stable. Using 3rd party repos is significantly more risky to break things one of those days as you innocently
apt upgrade.

And ONpoli if in Ontario. Actually Steve Paikin does a separate one too. He had Avi Lewis on.

Oh I’m not at all reacting to the usefulness. I’m reacting to the price of the item. Pockets on women’s clothes are a bit of a disaster.
