Bandcamp was sold off without the unionized employees. If you're doing this to be pro-labour, you can't really support Bandcamp right now.

Edit: I forgot unions and labour protection in immediate impact.
"This is my favourite Indian restaurant." It has always been my favourite too. I think of John every time I go there. He was old, but passed away suddenly.
It's weird how the strangest things like this stick with you.
If they did that, Reddit would just be an aggregator app of the Fediverse with different communities acting as a new subreddit. The difference would be that they'd have ads and algorithms.
On the Fediverse side, it'd be like having a lemmy.ml with 1000x the traffic and activity. We probably have to defederate to keep up with the traffic and the trolling.
On the plus side, 3rd party apps will be back baybee!
I'm sure Ronnie would be proud of the person you are today. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a link to this pattern? I like the heel here and I don't love the one I currently use.
When we start talking to each other again without paid influence.
The troubles facing us all, middle class and below, are the same troubles. We need to practice working together locally to build something bigger before major movements are likely to work out. How do we rebuild community nonprofit hubs?
Yep! The person said that they are starting with salmon because it's a lower barrier to entry. Food manufacturing is a harder thing to start up from scratch with new tech.
I love aquafit -- guided aerobics in the pool. Easy to modify for whatever physical issues you have. It's social, low pressure, and a great instructor makes it surprisingly fun. It looks really easy, and then the 80 year old ladies kick your ass at the exercises.
Kinda cool, but heavy strobe warning for any light sensitive people out there.
You need one of those toddler leash backpacks.
The Toronto horse cops carried around trading cards for their horses as a part of a PR campaign. Ask a cop for one!
Just another way for you to be disappointed by the police. Can't even do PR right.
Reminds me of the Boston Tea Party. It was in solidarity with the Great Bengali Famine caused by the East India Company.

Thanks for taking the time to educate me (and any passing readers.)
I'm in Canada, where the tech giants just blocked all Canadian media outlets due to new media profit sharing legislation.
I get my news from:
I haven't been as invested in news lately, but this looks a little promising: https://dailycanada.ca/ It's an rss feed from all media outlets in Canada.
Thank you so much for the name of it! I'm a beginner and only knit the same socks over and over again. I have been experimenting with different sock patterns without a guide, but not the heel construction.
It's unfortunate that this has to be a bad thing.
I don't care for the softening any more. Softeners also wreck your towels' absorbancy. Never going back.
I sent several friends the Bezos rowing boat video and the consensus is "what the fuck did I just watch?"

Mastodon is 70%+ of all activitypub posting. It's got a lot more content due to its format. It's just a different experience? Sometimes overwhelming, but then you just look at #mosstodon or #catsofmastodon or #fungiverse and life is better.
YouTube has more than 1 video for every human alive on this planet. I can't help but wonder: what is the value of all this?
A ton of competition and local universities are freaking out over the loss of international students money with the federal changes.
Have you tried looking at various operations/analyst type roles in Toronto outside your usual search? You'd probably do decently well in those roles. Even project management.
I'd rather leave it to the experts who study this stuff.
The only one I've heard of is called the "triple bottom line". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line
Ladle. Big soup scoopy thing. Never remember this word. Terribly specific.
This is how a friend of mine got into ice climbing. They went to work as a glacier guide and got a avalanche training for free. They work to find their ice climbing hobby.
Have you tried it with Sichuan peppercorns? I hear it's really different.
Don't they have partnership agreements and secondary products that repackages their data as insights? (I'm thinking Cambridge Analytica.) It's not a direct sale, per se.
Repackaged data in the form of other products is one way to do it.
Say you can justify each piece of data collected via a UX element. Someone said in the comments: low battery, charger ad. Where do you draw the line between data for the product vs data for profit? You don't. It's all embedded in the idea of "the product".
This is a company that sells ads AND data. They collect everything. Consumers don't seem to care. Tiktok is still popular. People see this post and will still download Threads.
It's important for people to understand the industry justification behind data collection and why it's so widespread across the industry so we can have this conversation about what "too much data" actually means. Serving me relevant ads like places near me for food? I guess that's a feature. A face aging app that we train to feed a military database of faces to track down deserters? Not so much.
Okay I'll bite. I work in product management for capitalist software companies. Every single software product you use has trackers built in unless if you're hardcore FOSS.
Even if the company has no interest in selling your data, it's still really hard to learn about user behaviours in the real world in order to figure out what to build next. Many of these trackers are UX tools, much more than selling your data tools. My previous employer fully anonymized and aggregated usage data, but we can't necessarily say the same for other companies.
These trackers are the industry default and honestly, I don't know where we'd be without them. We use them to measure the success of what we build and to look for surprises/opportunities.
On that note, for products and websites that I like, I sometimes intentionally turn off my ad and privacy blockers for them (as long as it's not intrusive). It's hard to do our work without that data.
I haven't tried it yet, but I met one of the food scientists who work here.
The big thing about what they're doing here is that they're not extruding the product, so you can actually have customized textures in your food that mimick structures and textures in animal protein. Think a slab of steak with marbling vs a hot dog or a hamburger patty.
It's a huge next step towards great meat alternatives. It might not be perfect yet, but that's only a matter of time.
