Well that's weird... This is literally playing on my Spotify right now, part of a random playlist. The Matrix is glitching.
Ah, TFWs. If you go by the news, neither big farms nor Tim Horton's can survive without them. I'm glad you're treated well. It pains me to think about how much exploitation is in the industry.
It's a dream of mine (and a handful of friends) to start a commune / cooperative farming thing (closer to the hobby side of things) east of Toronto once we pool enough money, so insights into the industry are fascinating to me. And yeah, we know it's going to be more work and recurring failures than we can possibly imagine (especially to start) but we're determined and going to be diligent in research and preparation before we jump into it.
Oof! Hello, fellow Ontarian here. I had no idea this was the case for Ontario farm workers! Is it common for people to be paid less than minimum wage and not get breaks? Is it just for specific times of year (ie harvesting) or for the entire growing season?
This may sound weird, but: thanks for the work you do in agriculture and feeding us! 😛 I'm in / from Toronto, and try to buy local when I can.
Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.
Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!
Well that's going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck
I love that all of the responses in here are just forking jokes.
Bonjour! Bienvenue à Ontario!
English is an absurd language, and something like 30% of English words are from old (Norman?) French. English is my first language and it just seems like pure chaos to me.
100 gross of self sealing stem bolts!
We require more vespene gas
I initially thought "War Pigs" when I first saw the image, but I don't think that's it
Rex Murphy, the socially-malignant gas-pump-fellating pseudo-intellectual who claimed to love Canada but was really just perpetually daydreaming about a socially conservative Randian right-wing dystopia, has finally and permanently shut the fuck up at 77.
Fixed that for you, NatPo.
I was hoping the 'D' chain would end up being dihydrogen monoxide
Convert WEBP to JPEG when sharing?
(This is my first post sent from Sync, so hopefully I don't mess this up too badly...)
This might already exist, or might just generally be a stupid idea, but here we go:
I share images from Lemmy / Sync pretty frequently, primarily as direct images to Facebook Messenger. However, Messenger doesn't like WEBP files, and quite a few instances seem to be using WEBP instead of JPEG or PNG.
It'd be a time-saver (literally minutes a day!) and reduction of friction if there was an option to convert WEBP to JPEG on-the-fly when sharing. Right now I have to check the image format, and if it's a WEBP I need to download and edit / re-save before sharing.
I was going to say this would be a nice value-add for Ultra, but I'm already subscribed 🤷🏻♂️
I bet this issue doesn't actually affect that many users (stupid North America and its reliance on Facebook Messenger), but it does ever so slightly annoy me, so I figured might as well shoot my shot and make a feature request.
It's annoying enough that if Sync was OSS I would have submitted a PR already.
All that said: Sync is great and I'm so happy it was transposed from Reddit.
