Say what you will about the country, I have my fair share of criticism regarding Canada and would agree that we are, on the whole, cringe. But our flag? It’s a good flag. I don’t care what you think.

You’re mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn’t take that many for you to be identifiable.

Seconding bike co-ops, especially for people who don’t know much or are intimidated by bike maintenance. The people who work at these places are always super eager to help you get on a good bicycle for cheap!

You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.

I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

It’s a complete guide for beginners, they never claim to be a complete list of display managers.

The Canadian flag is not a “bog standard three stripes” design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.

I don’t understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a “Canada” to speak of, is “cringe”.

The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn’t bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It’s instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.

You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

I used to be pretty active in my city and province’s subreddits, and while there were occasional assholes everyone was mostly reasonable.

I went and checked my city’s subreddit the other day and it has gotten substantially worse since I’ve left Reddit two years ago. It’s all people posting the same trashy racist rhetoric about immigrants. We used to post screenshots of those same takes from the local FB groups to make fun of those idiots, now the subreddit is those idiots.

Your comments would have been fine in answer to someone seeking support for porn addiction/dependency, but it’s completely irrelevant in a tech community on a post about people circumventing silly restrictions.

You clearly came into the thread with a specific agenda which was irrelevant to the thread’s topic, and spammed the same comment in multiple replies. What did you expect? I don’t even entirely disagree with your opinions about pornography but do you seriously think this was the best way to communicate your point?

I don’t have any specific recommendations for a stacking WM, but I doubt trying to force Hyprland into stacking would be your best option.

Based on your wants and a very quick search, I’d maybe check out Wayfire.

Yeah, shitpost, that’s what I said!

Gone into the wilderness to escape from the woes of modern capitalistic society, yet unable to escape the coping mechanisms used to survive the rat race. Trapped inside the addiction, a smoke and a coffee to wake up, a toke and a drink to pass out, in an endless cycle, just to blur the daily toil into a barely-tolerable disassociative carousel. Even the moments of leisure have become a task to accomplish; have your pittance of a vacation, stressing about how tightly scheduled you are, stressing about how much everything costs, stressing about the mounting responsibilities pilling up awaiting your arrival.

I dunno man, I think it’s just a shitpost.

I won’t lie though, judging from how much of the litter where I live is cigarettes butts and packs, there seems to be a rather large overlap.

Add people who drink Tim Horton’s coffee and that’s a solid 80% of the litter I see.

(Am smoker, will carry smelly butts rather than throw them on the street)

Great take, we should take all the humans out of cities to make them even more car-friendly!

It worked for Radiator Springs!

I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn’t use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using “gay” in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.

“That’s how they do it on 4chan” is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one’s behaviour.

Just waiting for the web to become unbearably enshittified so I can finally be free.

Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

I wasn’t talking about people on group rides, I’m talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.

Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it’s honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.

You should know that it doesn’t take “motor vehicle speeds” to cause a (serious) accident.

That’s not what I said. I was pointing out how your “swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light” is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.

The “being part of traffic” part is fair. Even as an avid cyclist, I recognize how nice pedestrian-only areas can be. The park in the video wouldn’t be improved by middle-aged-men-in-lycra chasing Strava scores (like I see too often on my city’s riverside trail).

However, the painted bicycle lanes next to heavy traffic are a travesty, and Seoul could definitely do better.

Some sensors in my city detect my bike, some only detect it if I tilt it almost right against the ground, and some don’t detect it at all.

You bet I’ll gladly run a red light if it won’t ever turn green for me.
