If Reddit users are Redditors, are Lemmy users Lemurs?
  • I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.

    Citizens’ assemblies: Pioneered in B.C. 20 years ago, they’re a growing pro-democracy tool
  • So, sortition? I'm not opposed to giving that a larger role in policy making. It would give voice to a wider range of life experiences than the lawyers and business owners who tend to dominate elected positions.

    Tabasco on pizza: Yay or Nay?
  • Tabasco or some other hot sauce in the pizza sauce would be a lot more ideal, but on top is acceptable if that's what's available.

    "The Newspaper of Record"
  • Remember that time the NYT published Judith Miller's stenography for the Bush Administration's lies leading up to the war in Iraq? I'm sure they learned their lesson from that debacle, though.

  • I don't bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.

  • One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.

    Are they a thief of focus or simply very efficient entertainment?
  • I generally do that waiting in a beautiful place chilling with friends. It's the journey not the destination, etc. Although actually catching fish is great as well.

    Conservative Party Experiences Largest Decline Since Pierre Poilievre Assumed Leadership
  • People have been treating a Conservative majority as basically foretold for the last while, but the election is still over a year out. Personally, I've been much more reserved with my feelings about our current political trajectory. Recent events from south of the border should make it very clear that even a few months is forever in politics. We're not in what I would consider an ideal position, but it's much too early to assume the sky is going to fall.

    Pierre Poilievre has a housing plan ready for Ottawa’s bureaucrats. Documents reveal some don’t believe it’s ‘grounded in reality’
  • I've said this before, but coming up with no ideas of your own except to crack your whip at other people until they do something is bad McDonald's manager level of leadership. Housing is an issue country wide, expecting municipalities to each individually come up with solutions for you instead of developing a country wide strategy is going to lead to extremely uneven results at best. Most likely it's going to be a disaster everywhere because municipalities don't have the power to deal with root causes like land speculation the way the federal and provincial governments do.

    I also would bet money that if municipalities start getting homes built in ways the Conservatives don't like, like public housing, they will be punished for that as well.
