It's 2026, there's no longer an excuse for phone companies being unable to figure out who's paying for the phone line. Make them liable if they can't figure out where the call came from.

As much as it would hurt charities, removing the tax deduction for donations of any kind feels necessary at this point.

Annoyed at slow release processes since I want this but I also hate the risk of crapping up my system by adding a new source. It'll be a dog's age before I can get it on a stable version of Ubuntu, but I've had so much trouble installing big corpo programs I need on anything but Ubuntu stable that I'm afraid to leave it.

Reintroduces, really. Iirc it was originally made for plasma 5 and and was broken by changes in Plasma 6. This is "we fixed the stuff we broke".

While this community is very low-traffic and I don't want to start blocking willy-nilly, I want to quote the sidebar:

World News for Canadians, with preference for articles that provide Canadian perspectives and sources.

This is https://lemmy/ dot ca /c/WorldNews. The intent was always that this would be about providing a Canadian perspective to the world's happenings. People who are primarily just crossposting sites that have no Canadian connection are invited to do so on other World News communities throughout the Lemmy fediverse. There are very many of them, but AFAIK this is the only "World News For Canadians" community.

Normally I'd agree but google had a real problem with "everything is a simple red-yellow-blue-green outline" for a while so it's been a long walk to get them to have actually distinct appearances.

These ones are good. Now just don't change them.

I mean they actually look different from each other so that's good

I'm on team Occam's Razor on this. We don't need complicated conspiracy theories to explain why people keep shooting at the most unpopular and destructive man on Earth.

Honestly, this should be every government-funded industry where they have power over members of the public. Teachers, police, prison guards, physicians, etc. Too much important info gets trapped in provincial or even municipal databases.

Compromise: mandatory service for young people, wealth taxes on older people who never had to face mandatory service.

I just included that because I was already crediting other people and rule of threes, it wasn't meant to be serious.

This should not be considered an accident. This is the expected outcome of the US cuts to FAA. This was social murder.
