Libertarianism is a traditionally left wing philosophy that started in the 1800s. They're also typically pretty big on human rights and equality.

The more modern America-centric "tea party" libertarians fit what you're saying, but they didn't create the term.

I never thought about it before, but that might actually be the case eh? You don't talk to Canadian border security on your way out.

Oh I see, so these are the same ads you'd see on the official broadcast too?

That's crazy, it sounds like a whole business! I guess there are probably more costs and risks associated with live streaming that warrant the income stream, compared to uploading a movie to some torrent tracker.

Where are you seeing ads in pirated content?

"Name one person that died of cancer who never received a vaccine for anything. That's what I thought!"

CBC's ideas: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas

It isn't always about politics, and when it is it's usually wider reaching things in retrospect or debates with intelligent people, but it's quintessentially Canadian and always interesting and educational.

I use GrapheneOS without Google services and the only issue I have to work around is Slack notifications. Everything else is fantastic.

A bit too late to vote (pixelfed.ca would have been mine anyway), but I love how something like this can happen on the fediverse. Other types of services (eg: x.com) are all about competition and screwing over the other guy, and then here you have one instance handing over a perfect domain to another so they can have a better presence.

Huge props to Dan for giving up his domain, as well as to the lemmy.ca team for expanding the fediverse.

I have an old phone with microg, slack, tasker and termux running on it. When slack receives a push notification, tasker pulls it out and sends it to a script in termux that forwards it to my gotify server, which my main phone is listening for notifications on.

I've emailed Slack a bunch of times asking for unified push or even just an API route I can listen on, but so far I've had no luck.

KDE let's you do that first one, though it's ctrl+super. It's one of my favourite lesser known features.

Steam Deck compatibility has a much higher standard since it requires the performance being good, gamepad support, etc, and even that's at 40%. General Linux can't be less than 95% for games that don't require kernel level anticheat. Try checking a random sampling on https://www.protondb.com/.
