The exemptions would be retroactive
Makes me think that they must have got wind of a FOI request that requests some info that they really don’t want to get out
Sounds like a great idea to me!
And this is exactly why we need to break our dependance with US tech
In essence, where -- if anywhere -- do people interact with people online?
This is it mate. We’re interacting right now
That’s fair enough. It would be nice if on all the other mediums the filmmaker could say “hey the best way to watch me is on Peertube.” But unfortunately it looks like the only way to monetize on Peertube would be through crowd contribution platforms, such as Patreon, which might cause issues for some people who want to put their videos up there. The upside to this tho is that there’s no ads and no paywalls, so I think its a tradeoff is worth making
Case study: almost every other wealthy democracy in the world besides the US and how they deal with insulin. Living in a wealthy democracy and not being able to afford insulin is a uniquely American problem.
I guess it tracks that they must be satisfied with them, for them to want to make the change citywide
Yeah. Especially since the current council has been dragging their feet on other urbanist priorities (like the Wellington Crescent bike lane, which has recently been delayed yet again). And I think these speed reductions are actually pretty popular. People generally don’t like cars speeding down their residential streets.
There’s an interesting blog post on this issue from the Dear Winnipeg blog, if anyone is interested. Fun fact: the guy who wrote this is married to Emma Durand-Wood, the most recent member of council who was elected for Elmwood East-Kildonan in a by-election, only a few months ago. This was one of the issues she campaigned on. So I don’t think it’s a coincidence that speed reductions on residential streets has become an issue shortly after she was elected.
To your point, in the UK and Australia you can now literally get jail time for saying some pro-Palestinian slogans. So certainly there has a cultural and sometimes legal shift towards not tolerating opposing viewpoints and it is not healthy. That said this behaviour is not limited the right. The left is not very tolerant of opposing viewpoints either
These property restrictions should have never existed in the first place. I’m glad the NDP got rid of them and is pushing back against Sobeys on this.
If they still refuse to comply I’m curious to see what enforcement powers municipal board actually has, should things come to that. Because from what I’ve board the municipal board doesn't actually have a lot of teeth. For example, the municipal board sided with the Granite Curling Club when the the City of Winnipeg wanted to build affordable housing on the lot they lease, but the city just decided to ignore the municipal board, and this was perfectly legal of them.
OS age verification would effectively make some, if not most, linux distributions (or other less-popular operating systems) illegal. Because many linux distributions are made by small team of volunteers. In some cases a linux distribution might be maintained by literally one person. So these people likely do not have the time or money to include something like age verification into the operating system.
That said, there are some technically possible ways where this could be done to reduce the load on developers (perhaps with access codes, and a government maintained database) but the way age verification had is being done right now (face scanning, etc) would be a real headache to implement and quite possibly cost or time prohibitive.
It would be a shame if age verification laws effectively made open source operating systems illegal. It would suck if these laws inadvertently made it legally required that we need to support big tech companies like Apple or Microsoft in order to use a computer.
Yeah. The DSM isn’t the final word here. Obviously any superstimulus will have extreme addictive potential. There’s no reason why pornography would be any different than, say, junk food in this regard.
Yeah. Must be something real juicy in those call logs
