Could be, for sure. I may try to post some things from Lemmy.ca to Kbin later. I was successful in posting from Kbin to Lemmy.ca a few hours ago, so I wonder if there's a problem in the other direction.

Interesting background to the facts of the deceased person, which leads me to suspect that the story of his death will also be of some interest.

I don't know. There seems to be some openness on Mastodon to bots that are properly labelled as such, in my experience. I'd say open a bot account here and use it to give the crossposting a shot. Anyone who doesn't like it can easily block the bot account and move on with their day.

Yeah yeah. My only point is that this is messy as hell, and not about to get any tidier.

Don't forget to hit the CTRL button when clicking on any external links so they open in a new tab. Basically pretend it's 2012 again.

This whole thing has become such a mess. It made sense to me to keep RCMP to begin with, but either way, at this point I'd just love for the whole mess to be over one way or the other.

Huffman said in an interview that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest, comparing them to a “landed gentry.”

There's a pretty good YouTube video from this guy out of Toronto (I think) who talked about these a week or so ago.

A good reminder not to let one's intrusive thoughts win

When Heidi Starr went to her daughter’s track and field meet in Kelowna last week, she thought she’d be cheering her child on—not shielding her from misdirected transphobia.

If Reddit were to back down from their API gamesmanship, I'd probably stick with Infinity, as it's a great app and easily my favorite 3P Reddit app.

I don't expect Reddit will back down, so in all likelihood I will miss both this service and this app. Damn shame.

Also, there used to be another UBC community on a different instance, but that seems to have closed.

"The new regulations are meant to cut the "carbon intensity" of automotive fuels sold on the Canadian market — how much they generate in emissions for a given amount of energy. Unlike the current rules, the new ones cover the entire life cycle of fuels, from production and transport to consumption.

The goal is to push companies that produce or import fuel to gradually reduce the emissions intensity of that process by setting a ceiling and dropping it each year. By 2030, the rules will require a 15 per cent cut in emissions intensity compared to 2016 levels."

I don't live in either, but I do enjoy biking through some parts of Ladner occasionally. The area seems too remote for me overall, and sprawled out enough that I'd probably need to drive more if I lived there.

Definitely Civ VI for me as well. I'm stressed out by some work obligations lately, and nothing relaxes me more than coming home and sending some giant death robots to obliterate a few cities now and again.

If you're looking at the older ones, I've got a soft spot for Civ IV. The smooth dulcet tones of Leonard Nimoy reading historical quotes every few turns are always a plus.
