How is Gander financed?
Right now we’re a bootstrapped company, supported by our own time investment, and the early investment from friends and family. We expect to raise impact funding after our Beta launch, and to seek support from Government programs where possible.
As for monetization, we’re exploring a number of avenues including subscriptions for additional features, shared revenue models with creators, and ethical forms of advertising.
I get hung up on i.e. vs e.g. I’m not sure this counts as grammar though… I also understand the meaning is not very known so many people confuse the two but I wish it was overall well understood so that the message is very clear.
E.g. is used when enumerating examples, it doesn’t have to include all possibilities. Like saying “for example…”
I.e. is to demonstrate exactly what we are talking about. It’s like saying “by that I mean this”.

k_rol@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Tories poised to help feds push major projects bill through Parliament6·1 month agoNo regrets yet. Even seeing he is much more conservative than I thought. What I think is important right now is to at least not be socially conservative to regress on social issues we’ve already discussed. I still have hopes that he really knows how to fix our economy with a future with less USA in our life.
He just sucks at being a politician for now. He can probably still learn, we can see a good progression in his French already at least.
As for PP, I saw him as a danger and I would choose so many people over him. I don’t think he reflects how most Canadians think by being such an asshole to people.
For the NDP, well that truly sucked. Singh did a great job in bringing forward the new health coverage. He sacrificed himself for a good/great move.

Firefox was late to use multiple threads for the UI so it was horribly slow and hanging every time a page was loading. I think It took them around 2 years to get this done while Chrome was running great.
Even I being a hardcore Firefox user, I went to Chrome for 1 year or so as it was intolerable.

Just to add a note to your comment, only a china building in construction collapsed in Thailand, no other building did. There is now an investigation for corruption regarding that building.
That earthquake was really mostly strong in Myanmar.
