I think he means Steam’s refund policy is not available to anyone outside the US because they only implemented it to comply with a US law, so like if you are in a country without similar consumer protection laws they don’t offer the refund policy. (its not just the US btw, places like Canada and the EU also have the Steam refund policy)

So in other words just lying? You really answered a question you had no idea the answer to with “yes.”
Middle density housing is severely lacking in most of Canada. Montréal is one of the few cities that does have a bit of mid-density housing and its housing costs are lower than most other similar sized cities. Obviously there’s many more factors but I definitely think mid density is important for reducing this crisis.
It was a just a regular duel, the point isn’t to kill but basically “touch” the other guy like in a fencing match. The other guy got hit twice and survived but had to go to his wedding the next day.
The reason this is interesting is because it’s the reverse of gas cars. Typically the best efficiency of a gas vehicle is on the highway but for EVs you get much more efficiency in local streets
If you were wondering, the mayor won the duel
Honestly I just hope this backfires and less Canadians end up using Facebook, we’d definitely be much better off
I think what the problem is is that it doesn’t take the relative popularity of posts into account, the news community has 800 members so those posts typically get close to 100 upvotes compared to some smaller communities where you’ll only get 7-8 upvotes, even though that community is only 16 members, so technically that second post is doing BETTER than the news post, but I think the algorithm relies too heavily on absolute score instead
Personally I disagree, I use small card view and for short posts I can read all the information on it without having to open it. Especially for posts with low engagement like for example a new ‘asklemmy’ post, the question might be interesting but no comments, so I’ll upvote hoping to increase the visibility and hopefully have someone answer the post. Hiding the vote buttons would reduce engagement overall which at this point in time with a low population engagement needs to be made as fast and as easy as possible to encourage it
“Let us use your land for free in exchange for ‘protection’” sounds a lot like a mafia extortion. Then again I guess the US is used to taking land that isn’t their’s for free.
When I was in highschool (late 10s) you were allowed to have your phone on you in class, it wasn’t instantly taken away if they saw the outline in your pocket, but you weren’t allowed to use it in class.
100%, even if a lemmy alternative were to someday be created, so much needs to happen before that (advice/confession communities, regular post updates) that a BestofLemmyUpdates is in the far distant future
All hail Vućić the magnificent
One good thing about multiple communities based on instances is you can have regional communities based on what instance they are on. /c/politics on lemmy.ml is technically neutral, but we all know its meant to be American politics, so opening a /c/politics on lemmy.ca even though it has the same name would serve a different purpose and be centered around Canadian politics instead.
Overall though I definitely think a multireddit type solution needs to be created for this, that way similar communities could be grouped together and mass subscribed to all at once.
This definitely feels weird to upvote… But very interesting article lol
I remember /r/politics had the tldr bot, would there be anyway to get that going on news heavy communities?
Every single time
