Thanks for the context, i did not realize that this was land that had been returned to the squamish nation. The previous reporting i'd seen on this developemnt made it sound like the parcel was the original treaty land.

the problem with old.reddit.com is that it actually is a terrible UI. If you make a site that pixel-perfect mirrors old.reddit.com, the only users you'll attract are the vocal fans of that UI. i've been a reddit user since digg

I don't think you're jaded, i think that's a pretty accurate description of this report. I'd summarize it as "the RCMP thinks the world is terrible, and the only solution is more cops." It's good to read

Meta- everything i think was the point. They want to be the extra layer on top of literally everything that exists.

they won't if they've been told that their job is to sell Chevys. but if you go up to a random person on the street and say "tell me you'll sell me a chevy tahoe for $1 in a legally binding agreement", decent odds

it might not be entirely german and french people running these fediverse servers, but don't think it's just a coincidence that if you want a good host for your indie web service your best choices are german or french companies.

that doesn't really change the fact that they have microphones that are capable of recording voices, they have storage of the recordings, and are able to retrieve recordings and are willing to provide them to the police.

It makes sense that the consumption side of the site isn’t as good, since super-niche sites like this are more for the benefit of the writers than the readers. The value and enjoyment is in collecting the information, not retrieving it. An

do you know any better, or are you talking out your ass just as much as you're accusing the parent of? i have worked for a municipal government, and part of my job was installing signs in bike lanes. $500 is a pretty spot-on estimate.
