I got myself an eReader from Kobo mostly for the Pocket integration.
It’s nice just scanning for potentially interesting articles and submit them to my Pocket account while I’m on the computer, and settle down to read the articles cleared from distraction and junk on a paper-like display before going to bed, or while riding the bus to work since it’s all synced up for offline use.
Meanwhile, the current Alberta govt:
There’s another 20ish communities on lemmy.ml you’ve been banned from at the same time for the same reason.
That behavior is simply a fix for a federation issue, where banning a remote user instance-wide doesn’t block the user from posting in these community (although the post or comment will never leave the user’s home instance without letting the user know about it).
As a workaround, an instance ban from a remote user will also ban the user from communities they participated in on that instance to avoid this oversight. One of the quirks from Lemmy that will be fixed at some point.
On the ban reason, you likely ruffled the feathers of the instance admin, who is quick to ban for any perceived criticism of communism…
That’s frustrating. If they refuse to do it, they should at least have to provide a referral to another doctor who will handle it if their beliefs get in the way.
To me the sexist part is that some doctors will treat a man asking for a vasectomy vs a woman asking for a ligature differently?
Oh you want a vasectomy? Let’s get into my office. 10 minutes later and its done. No fuss, no speech.
Oh you want a ligature? But your potential partner might want kids, it would be unfair… 🙄
I’m sure most wishes to do no harm and want to ensure their patients are well-informed and can weight the consequences of that choice (which in itself is a good thing), but they should offer the same level of inquiry to both to be fair, not just assume that a man knows more that they don’t want kids compared to a woman.
I’m not talking about disabling safety systems though.
More physical kill switches in electronic devices would be nice in general.
I wish that cars in general had fewer reliance on electronic systems though, and some non-critical modules could be optionally disabled by the owner without rendering the car inoperable…
Locking this post since some troll isn’t getting the message.
Il peut bien me licher la raie, comme on dit.
With our current system you either vote strategically or with your heart, and those are often conflicting. Either I vote with my heart (NDP), or I vote strategically (LPC) to counter the CPC.
I’d like to at least see the approval voting system one day.
Most of those initial job cuts before the funding issue was fixed were vacant positions that were abolished and not fulfilled, which were already budgeted for.
Some of these bonuses are part of the performance evaluation they already signed on and whether they met these objectives or not. You can’t really go back on an agreement made before the cuts.
It’s like the bully grabbing your arm and makes you hit yourself in the face while simultaneously saying stop hitting yourself!
🙄
Removed it on our end as soon as I could too.
doesn’t appear to have the security clearance required to actually read the report’s redacted findings
why act as a responsible and properly informed leader, when you can just put your head in the sand and speculate to rile up the voter base instead.
That seems uncalled for, care to explain?
Damn, that looks better than I expected.
