Is the US withdrawing?

Energy == oil. We can still have an energy sector without oil.

What a surprise.

What is this? This looks fake. I can't tell. This is scary.

What you wrote is not new.

It was written and critiqued for a long time both in Western and Eastern philosophies of statecraft.

See Thomas Hobbes' Laviethan and the Chinese mandate of heaven:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_(Hobbes_book)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven

Vigilantism encompases all non state violence, both organised and anarchy. It includes (un)organised political terrorism (Luigi Mangione) and personal vendettas. You make no distinction between the two in your response.

This is why I agree with the first sentence. To say that all vigilante violence leads to poorer conditions for the poor is wrong. People can agree with a subset of non-state violence and disagree with another subset.

Lol.

I'll believe disinfowatch when they publish an exposé on @Scotty@scribe.disroot.org .

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I 100% agree with your first sentence. That is exactly the reason why I gave the answer of Luigi Mangioni.

Sure, it's all well and good when the vigilante kills someone you want dead.

That's what I want though. I would rather those who hold a monopoly of violence to go after people I want to be gone after. However, those who hold the monopoly of violence go after people they deem appropriate. If those who hold the monopoly of violence go after people I want I am against vigilantism but if they don't I will support any act of vigilantism that goes after people I want but not acts of vigilantism that don't.

Luigi Mangioni showed me an instance where I supported the ends (retribution against health insurance CEOs) over means (proper monopoly of violence). If you only follow means rather than ends exclusive than those who control the means and choose which means you follow will choose the ends you will arrive at. Why would I give away the ends prematurely and have someone else define it, probably for their own benefit?

I disagree. Two words:

Luigi Mangioni

I think you do yourself a disservice by using such incidents. A lot of incidents I see involving trans athletes are just illegal moves rather than advantages of men over women.

Statistics is a better measure as it is with statistics you can get a feel of performance instead of one off games.

Though I think the burden of proof falls on the trans athletes. Since the differences between the sexes has survived the null hypothesis, trans athletes need to prove their performance is not in line with their birth sex.

~~Canada~~ Carney looks the other way

Shhhhh! Rental houses will just trickle down. The real problem is the government and taxes.

 

A secret list of hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals welcomed by Canada after the Second World War, drawn up 40 years ago, should remain secret, the information watchdog ruled Friday.

The list of more than 700 suspected Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada has remained unpublished since it was drawn up as part of an official inquiry in 1986.

My Fairphone 4's USB port is broken and I'm looking for a replacement. Looking for Ottawa Fairphone users to either buy USB ports in bulk or to buy the USB ports from.

Thank you in advance.

I was able to literally 1 hour ago.

I changed my DNS from Next DNS to CIRA Canadian Shield (Protected) to test it out.

Then I was only able to connect to the internet through Mulvad VPN.

Then I changed back to Next DNS and I observe the same behaviour.

How do I determine what is causing the problem?

How do I solve it?

Same as above:

Can I create a CNAME record to point a subdomain to a webpage e.g. blog.example.com -> example.com/blog?

I would also like to know if I can do this to point subdomains to webpages on different websites.

e.g. bluesky.example.com -> bsky.app/profile/example.com

 

Trying to move away from FireFox.

I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.

What are the pros and cons for each?

I tried GNU IceCat and I don't know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?

I need the following extensions:

  • ublock origin
  • send to MPV player
  • privacy badger
  • Distraction free youtube
  • Unhook
  • LeechBlock NG
  • Privacy Badger
  • Tab Session Manager
  • KeePassXC-Browser
 

The login interface only allows login with mastodon servers.

My only account is this lemmy.ca account.

Will it be possible to add login options for lemmy and other activity pub server software (e.g. friendica, peertube, etc)?

Hello All!

Thank you for using the Ottawa sublemmy. There has been a significant growth in users recently and I would like to recruit some new moderators for the community.

I would also like to have a francophone be a member of the mod team.

Please reply if you're interested, will then reach out over DMs.

Edit:

What the role will be:

  • Minimal commitment
  • Be present on the forum
  • Remove content that doesn't abide be rules set for the sublemmy

So far, the community is running well without much intervention, I suspect more eyes will be needed as new people come in.

Also, having a francophone would allow the same policy be upheld for both official languages.

 

I am looking for a stainless steel insulated bottle. Preferred size is 500 mL.

The nearest store to me sells Hydro Flask.

I would like some other recommendations.

Some of my own research so far: Hydro Flask is owned by Helen of Troy (Nasdaq: HELE). I have come across Klean Kanteen, they seem like a good company but I'd have to ship in because it is not in store.

Ideally I'd like to support a company that is a co-operative or B-corp and not owned by a conglomerate traded on the Nasdaq/NYSE.

Obviously Canadian is preferred if possible.
