Problem connecting with my instance when using a laptop browser (lemmynsfw.com)
 

Hello. My instance is mindly.social. It used to work fine, but now, when I try to connect, I simply see a Mastodon logo. This is true on both Firefox and Chromium browsers. However, when I use Pachli on my phone, it does connect. I'm not sure what the issue is.

Tesla owners turn against Musk: ‘I’m embarrassed driving this car around’ in c/[email protected]

I myself use a bicycle for local travel, and public transit for longer commutes. Musk's overpriced EVs are not the solution to global warming, IMO.

KDE suggested I report this bug directly to postmarketOS (bugs.kde.org)

I'm using postmarketOS plasma edge on my Pinephone Pro. The KDE program Kasts (installed from a postmarketOS package) crashed when I tried to run it, so I filed a bug report with them. They suggested that I file this bug directly with postmarketOS. The rationale was:

These kinds of faults tend to happen when a library that Kasts depends on gets updated without Kasts itself getting recompiled. Then you can end up with an instruction that has changed in the underlying lib without Kasts knowing about this, leading to a crash. So, I would think it's simply a matter of recompiling the package.

I'm not sure where the correct place is to file a bug with postmarketOS. If there is another place where I should do so, then do let me know in the comments below. Thanks.

Here's some facts and tips about repayment plans with the landlord: https://www.acto.ca/production/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/PaymentPlan_Tipsheet_tenants.pdf (taken from this site).

The best thing to do is to pay off the rent and arrears. If it's possible to follow the "rosy" rent plan you put forward, then do it. But, if things don't go well and the landlord begins to pursue eviction, then best to contact a legal clinic: https://www.legalaid.on.ca/legal-clinics/ You may wish to do that anyway.

Hunka was invited by Speaker Anthony Rota, who introduced him as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.

Rota’s office did not immediately respond to questions.

I expect Rota will not be the Speaker for much longer.

Poilievre releases housing plan he says would 'build homes, not bureaucracy' in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Housing is a complex issue that requires action accross levels of government, but this would seem to shift the onus towards the municipal level, and then handicap said municipality’s ability to meet demand if they do not immediately succeed. [..] if implemented, would be anything but an excuse to cut funding.

Agreed. It just seems to be setting up obstacles rather than helping. Currently, builders prefer to build condos or office towers, rather than rental housing. I don't see these proposals as doing anything other than further frustrating the construction of rental housing.

Poilievre releases housing plan he says would 'build homes, not bureaucracy' in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The construction of rental housing has stalled for a while now. This is due to builders preferring to build either office space or condos. So, there is a need to boost the construction of rental housing.

Poilievre's ideas seem to be of the carrot and stick mentality, with an emphasis on the stick. I don't see that as being a solution to getting more rental housing built. Instead, it likely would end up further frustrating the construction of rental housing.

When asked about a perceived ignorance in computers, the judge proclaimed, "I'm not ignorant about computers! In fact, just last week I finished Space Quest, and I'm now getting through Leisure Suit Larry!" The judge's report, written using WordPerfect 5.1, is expected to be released soon.

Coletto said the Liberals' messaging focuses too much on what they've done in the past and not enough on what's next.

Thus, the Liberals need to realize they still have over two years left in their mandate, and start doing some positive stuff. Particularly on housing.
