  • Delivery drivers and emergency services have to park in no-parking zones to do their job

    I don’t have an issue with emergency vehicles, when they are responding to an emergency, being in areas that they would not otherwise be allowed to be. Delivery drivers are not comparable to something like an ambulance, and don’t have special privileges unless those privileges are otherwise explicitly outlined.

    A delivery driver using the bike lane should be viewed the same as if they parked on the sidewalk. If the delivery driver is going to be breaking the law anyway, they should just pop on their emergency lights and block the road, they would at least be blocking the correct mode of traffic.









  • If you’re not having a good time, stop. Life is too short.

    If you’re still interested in using linux, LinuxMint or PopOs! are what most people would recommend to a new user, not Arch.

    Arch can be perfect for users with the time, knowledge, and effort to perfectly tailor things to suit their needs. They can make it perfectly efficient, without any excess.
    I just want to use my computer whenever I want it to work. I am fine with it having a few extra packages/applications that I might never use. I’ve being using linux as main (or only) operating system on/off for about 20 years, and I currently use Mint.


  • Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

    Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.






  • You can only change it for yourself by changing it to subscribed, or changing it to all. https://lemmy.ca/settings

    Compared to other social media sites, lemmy doesn’t curate/manipulate in the “feed”. This is both good and bad. Because .ca isn’t just Canadians, but every instance we are linked to, whatever communities from here that get a little traction globally will poison the feed.

    It order to fix that, .ca would need to limit what kinds of communities can be made on this instance. They do this with the no porn/bigotry rule, but that’s still not very specific. There is also the issue of a small number of people on the platform creating 50+ communities, not doing anything with them, not even making a single post. This poisons looking for new communities.
    They could decide to change the rules and remove a bunch of communities, but I assume the admins discussed this, coming to the conclusion that it would drive a large amount of people away.
