And they can request location info and other things, and most people just click Allow.
Troy@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some trends/fads that you are glad the world has moved on from?4·15 days agoSaw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They’re still here, but at least it isn’t a stadium full.
Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended ;)
Troy@lemmy.cato Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Man arrested after driving child-size pink Barbie Jeep through Prince George, B.C.English11·15 days agoTechnically, if the bicycle is motor assisted, then yes that would also illegal in Canada and on rare occasion. There was a recent case here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/amherst-man-charged-with-impaired-driving-while-riding-e-bike-1.7576394
However, the original story and this one share a common theme – attempts to circumvent a driving ban by using a motorized vehicle that straddles a grey area of the definition. And both involved them playing in traffic.
As far as I know, no recent cases have involve true non-motorized vehicles. Legal precedent suggests that bikes, skateboards, horses, etc., are allowed to be operated over limit. However, you can still be charged with all sorts of secondary things depending on how you’re operating.
Or the opposite – you wake up with the cat sleeping on your chest, nose three inches from yours, and you’re like: “I just want to roll over and now I can’t!”
Our cat will slink to the farthest corner of the house. It will be hours before she emerges. The vacuum ran for 8 seconds.
Duck typing is my favourite. Pry it from my cold dead (object that appears to be hands, and probably is, but maybe isn’t).
Nice perspective.
What would you consider to be a contribution of value? Posting? Comments? Moderating? Installing a server rack in your closer for nightly backups? What would you suggest a minimum contribution for continued use should be?

Getting rid of organized religion just kicks the can down the road. Education is paramount.

Our city made it illegal for scrap dealers to accept catalytic converters, and suddenly theft vanished entirely. Weird.
Capitalism is a funnel. Money goes from those without capital to those with capital. Simple as.
It has always been like this. For a lot of people this is a feature and not a bug.
It’s also the most productive economic system ever tried.
Everyone talks about regulation, or semi-socialism, or various other bandaids to make it work. But if you don’t remove the funnel action, it’ll eventually get to this state.
More likely, capitalism needs periods of major collapse and rebuild as major wealth redistribution events. French-style.
Troy@lemmy.cato Fedigrow@lemmy.zip•Weekly thread - how is everyone doing with their communities?English7·30 days agoThe city-oriented community I mod !Winnipeg@lemmy.ca is doing well – better that nothing anyway. The rest are kind of quiet unless I post. I’m okay with this. Rome wasn’t built in a day ;)
Me too! Our cat is the perfect child, most of the time. Except when she pukes on the bed.
Just imagine lugging the groceries up those steps
