Good adivce. Kamala does talk a lot about working class people already. Take a wild guess at what parts of Kamala's tens-of-minutes-long rally speeches are most covered by news headlines.
Hahaha I saw the parent commentor of that chain notorious for getting into back and forth arguments, sometimes reasonable sometimes not, and I thought to myself, this is going to be fun. Then I recognized the username of that other .ml user as a known troll and I was like, yep now this is going to go way off the rails.
We need a version of "What does the Fox Say" with every animal sound replaced with 'mu'.

The short jump from EviCore to EvilCore is really a bit on the nose, isn't it?
Anyways but middlemen and insurance companies cutting costs and raking in profits, with healthcare practitioners and patients suffering are the hallmarks of the American Healthcare system.
The bad firms are going to lay off most or all of their juniors, hire AI leash-holders or something and do fine to code everything their hearts dream of, but at some point (5-10 years my estimate) enough of the seniors have left and shit hits the fan in a way where AI models can't save the company from its own creations.
The thing that ChatGPT doesn't have (at least right now) is the ability to tell management to piss off. I assure everyone that this is what the recipe for disaster for many firms will be, if any.
The smarter firms will have a keep a sizable contingent of juniors, who will work with help from LLMs, but have seniors teach them to have a bullshit detector in their industry.
Or, we start up all the coal power plants to keep the ever-hungry AI chatbots alive so humanity is fucked in the end anyway.
Squish that day! It will feel more safe and secure.
Don't use my Reddit account anymore, and now I obsessively check and contribute to discussion on Lemmy instead of Reddit.
As a search result, sure I'd click on a Reddit link once in a while, but other than that I've stopped interacting with Reddit altogether.
Seems not bad, a lot of vegan and vegetarian food options with catering I've occasionaly sampled have gotten comparably tasty, too. I'm not a compulsive meat-eater but I'm not on any strictly plant based diets either. We've long known that water and energy inputs for plants are an order of magnitude less than meat for the same output.
"We simply wouldn’t do this if we didn’t believe that it was safe,” said Greg Webb, ADM’s vice president of state-government relation
That's bull-fucking-shit and you know it.
It's just sorted by the percentage of NDP vote descending from left to right. Greens in the conservative area mean that NDP doesn't have as significant of a vote share there, whereas near the centre it is a closer race between greens and NDP. Sorting by Conservative support will show Greens and NDP as one bloc.
Winning, losing, whatever, GO AND VOTE!
A Canadian provincial (state equivalent) election just happened and a number of races have a margin of difference under 200 votes. And though the polls were reasonably correct overall there were several upsets that were more than 10% off from polling like my riding. Campaigning makes a difference.
Get every eligible voter who is sick of Trump to go and cast their ballot. Get every man, woman and person you know out to protect American uteruses, American democracy, American freedom.
If you're feeling risky, dd can do everything you want to but it can also fuck everything up if you make a mistake (so can ignoring warnings on gui programs). So triple check everything (the if= and of= portions in particular) before you run any dd command. Launch a live distribution off a CD or USB to use a disk image maker or dd, don't make images of the operating system disk while it's being used for best results. A couple sample methods:
- make an image of the entire smaller disk, place it on a third storage disk
- restore the image from the third disk to the destination disk you want
- then resize the partitions or add new ones on the second disk using Gparted for the remaining storage space.
The quicker but riskier method is to directly clone the first disk to the second larger disk, then adjusting the second disk using Gparted to add or expand partitions.
Either way it will copy everything from the old disk including windows and root partitions.
Ukraine confirms that explosives produced at Russian explosives factory explode as designed. It's just a special quality testing operation.
A graph representing the frequency of something is called a histogram. That might be the word you are looking for?
Pearson Airport is still like that at the dropoffs and arrivals areas... luckily there is a cell phone waiting lot now where you can hang out until you know your buddy is at the pickup area.
I don't know how many last minute mail in ballots there are, but any mail ins received after Wednesday is still not counted. For some of these races it could possibly make a difference.
Just drinking at the NDP afterparty lmao...
The whole point of casinos is to get people to feel like they are one play away from winning big, in perpetuity.

Le gouvernement du Canada lance une consultation sur le droit à la réparation en vue de mieux répondre aux besoins des consommateurs
Les Canadiens s’attendent à juste titre à ce que leurs achats, qu’il s’agisse d’une laveuse, d’une sécheuse ou d’un téléphone, demeurent en état de fonctionnement pendant des années. C’est pourquoi le gouvernement du Canada s’est engagé à faciliter la réparation des électroménagers et appareils élec...

Government of Canada launches consultation on right to repair to better meet Canadian consumers’ needs
Canadians rightfully expect that their purchases, from phones to washers and dryers, work well and last for years, and that’s why the Government of Canada is committed to improving Canadians’ ability to repair home appliances and consumer electronics. Every generation should be able to repair their ...

Clipboard Copy Paste History Function I Accidentally Encountered with Fcitx
Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months. Edit: I found the post!
Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.
If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.

Vancouver City Council Bus Lane Motion - Passed with amendments
The motion was shared here earlier:
https://lemmy.ca/post/25243197
There were 35 speakers in support, 1 speaker in opposition. The amendment and motion were supported unanimously by councillors. There were hundreds of comments received, largely in support.
The 49th Avenue, 41st Avenue, 4th Avenue, Granville Street, and Hastings Street corridors were talked about most. The amendment added Granville Street to the list of corridors of focus, and inclusion of TransLink's report for city staff reference. Another important point was the request for automated buslane enforcement.

Chapter 19 of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 edition of Mandate for Leadership (Direct PDF link) is full of policies that would be terrible for the US.
Highlights:
- Replace national transportation infrastructure projects with a flat transportation subsidy formula to each state (most of whose DoTs don't know how to do anything with money other than build highways)
- Stop funding mass transit, give public funds to Rideshare companies like Uber/lyft instead.
- Preserve single family home zoning at all costs. Each state and city knows what is best for their people, better than the federal government, except when states and cities do something that conservatives don't like.
- Screw California in particular.
- Trying to reduce the number of traffic fatalities is bad if anyone dare suggests that we have to drive a little bit slower.
