Looks like Ryan is applying to be a registered charity. The gofundme should qualify for tax receipts after that.

I'm not aware of Canadian instances. /u/otter mentioned recently that Fedecan may setup a Pixelfed instance next: https://lemmy.ca/post/25251642/13926523
Thanks for staying on top of it. Glad to hear you're moving to a better situation!
Hey, have you actually read the article? I'd also highly suggest you watch the two videos included as well.
Realistically we need to do both. $7,500 in cash is not going to solve the affordable housing shortage. Give them a roof over their heads for shelter, warmth, hygiene, privacy, security, autonomy, electricity for charging a phone. The psychological benefits alone seem huge to me. It would allow some of them to climb one or two rungs out of their situation. As you've said even a rental may not be guaranteed with $7,500 in cash. A tiny home guarantees a lot immediately, and it is a sustained investment that will last the lifetime of the home. I 100% agree that a basic income is proven to be beneficial. It doesn't mean we stop doing everything else that we can. I'm sure you know the issue isn't a lack of means, it's a lack of will. If this helps in the short term, that's great. If you also want to fight for basic income in the long term I will also support you in that. It's not a zero sum game.
I'm using :Rg in the mapping, which calls ripgrep via fzf.vim, so it searches across all files in a project and gives me a preview of all the results.
I've had enough of the talking heads. I'm just going to check in on the AP News results map occasionally. Fortunately I have a few days off, so I'm going to distract myself otherwise.
I'm using :Rg here, which calls ripgrep to perform a search across all files in a directory. So it's not just a search within a single buffer.
Seems like a good time to remind people of this excellent (enraging) visualization:

Oof, I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the link. The sub-linked open letter about his behaviour towards others is particularly concerning: https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/appendix/#behaviour
I'm still a bit torn, because I think Pixelfed (the software) is still worth supporting, but we can let more of the community decide. Ultimately the Lemmy.ca/Fedecan representative would have to decide anyway.
