I get a paywall. I tried a few paywall removers but to no avail. Anybody else got any luck?



You’re absolutely right. I don’t know why conservatives are so obsessed with her. Even in Québec city, their radio hosts and conservative talking heads are talking more about her than their own mayor. It’s crazy.


It’s pretty sad when a whole community has to sue the government for their inaction for something as basic as drinking water.



I agree.

Unfortunately, from experience, nobody seems to have time for that. They just learn git pull, push, add, commit and merge and that’s about it.

Sometimes they’ll use checkout and end up in detached head and have a panic attack. That’s when I come in. lol


Yeah that’s what I did as a workaround. Reset (soft) to the first parent commit and do a single commit with all the changes.


What I do locally on my branch is my own business.

Honestly, when doing a merge/pull request into the parent branch, that’s when you squash. You don’t need the entire history of a development branch in main.


Yeah I saw someone else’s answer and I totally learned something new today.


Holy shit! I never took the time to read about it rerere. But it all makes sense now.

However, it’s still a lot of extra steps for what could otherwise be really simple with a regular merge.

Is there really a big advantage in using rebase vs merge other than trying to keep a single line of progress in the history? It’s it really worth all the hassle? Especially if you’re using a squash merge in a pull request…


All it can take is one commit in the parent branch. If your branch has many commits because you’re a commit freak then your fucked.



I consider myself above average in terms of Git know how. But I’ve come across situations using rebase where you’re stuck resolving the same conflicts over several commits.

I still don’t understand that part quite well.

This doesn’t happen when you do a normal merge though. Making it easier to manage


You’re right.

Besides, following the elections process, their whole process is based on a cult of personality. Not just Trump, but every candidate. Kamala, her VP candidate, etc. You see them in these big conventions with huge crowds of people holding up signs and spokespeople cheering them on. It’s like they’re celebrities. It’s fucking wild. You don’t see this in any other country. (Thankfully)

It’s honestly scary. Politicians shouldn’t get this kind of celebrity status. Politics should be something that regular people can get involved in to improve society through collaboration. Not something reserved for nepo babies who rise to fame because of their name or heritage. It should be something accessible to the average Joe.


You need to merge more often.

Rebase. That’s where the real trauma is.







At this point the real problem is we ain’t getting paid well enough.

Most of the revenue that people/businesses made this year has been from capital gains. Not actual profit from selling products or services.

Canada needs to tax the fuck out of these and provide a universal basic income to allow the population to have the means to pay for shelter and food.


Interesting.

I wonder if it’s possible to report these to the RCMP. I know they work on cracking down on these fraudulent groups with the Indian authorities.



Oh that’s interesting. I’m going to ask my service provider if that’s an option.


Fraudulent calls for telecom promotions
I've been receiving 3-4 phonecalls per week from call centers where the caller is always Indian and they're all calling about a special promotion from one of the big three telecom companies. I actually registered my phone on the no call list from the federal government. I'm not even a customer of the big three. (Videotron in Quebec ftw) So I shouldn't be receiving these calls. I've also asked multiple times not to be called again. But they still call. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you deal with it?

That’s what I came here to say. Those are typical signs of a psychopatic killer.


Right???

What the fuck?

If you invest in something you gotta assume the risk.


Utter contempt for the people. Especially those who are suffering from medical problems.

Fucking shitbag.




What’s the point of having rules of nobody plays by them?


I don’t know if the TFW program was used that way back in the 80’s. I was too young to remember.

This abuse of the TFW program seems to have started with Harper. It’s the first time I heard about this problem, but I could be wrong.


Holy shit.

What a country we’ve become.

Would it be right to say this started under Harper but continued under Trudeau?


It seems pretty easy in Canada.

Big oil, big grocery, big telecom, etc.

Canada is three lobbies in a trench coat.



In Quebec, Canada.

Not discouraged, but it used to be a lot more popular. We have a situation in Canada where two or three big chains control the entire grocery market across the country.

They gave the government in their pocket.




What do you consider “not terribly long ago” is now 30 years. I was around 12 then and wasn’t really into politics, so forgive me for not remembering.




Do We Really Want a Food Cartel?
Even though this article is about the U.S. there is a clear parallel with the Canadian food industry.

I know this isn't a very popular topic across Canada, but its still an interesting video.

I got permabanned from /r/canada on Reddit for promiting Lemmy and the fediverse.
I posted this yesterday: ![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/12a54c8e-9faa-4722-9427-b79253cca98c.png) And apparently this warrants a instant permaban. ![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/6736a6c8-7e93-44bd-94a3-0be2db2b5a2a.png) They don't even tell you what rule it breaks. Which one do you think it might break? ![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/d65b2791-f294-499a-9c53-794b871624af.png) In any case, every time I visit Reddit and look at my local subs (Montréal, Québec or Canada) I look at the comments and they're absolutely vile. The community has become so fucking toxic it's unbearable. And I also realized how my mental health actually improved since I left that community. They can keep the permaban. I don't give a shit anymore. I'm so over that god forsaken place. Peace out. **Quick update:** I contancted the mods and apparently I was permabanned for spamming and they immediately muted me so I wouldn't be able to message the mods any further. I can understand that it can be considered spamming, but I feel they're being extremely harsh over this. They really have no chill.

Canadian bank notes polymer composite
Here's an interesting question. What is the polymer compound used to make our bank notes and why does it smell like maple syrup?

If only our government had any guts…

Do you believe in UFOs and intelligent extraterrestrial life? Yes/No, why?
I just watched the congressional hearing today with witnesses of UFOs (UAPs) and potentially intelligent extraterrestrial lifeforms. This is really exciting. Do you believe in any of it? Yes/No? Please explain why you do or don't. I'd like to hear your opinion.

Bill C-18 and the Fediverse
Are instances of fediverse platforms going to be affected by this law? Does it apply at all to the fediverse?
