I kind of wish I could un-read this article. Holy fuck.

Ah, TFWs. If you go by the news, neither big farms nor Tim Horton’s can survive without them. I’m glad you’re treated well. It pains me to think about how much exploitation is in the industry.

It’s a dream of mine (and a handful of friends) to start a commune / cooperative farming thing (closer to the hobby side of things) east of Toronto once we pool enough money, so insights into the industry are fascinating to me. And yeah, we know it’s going to be more work and recurring failures than we can possibly imagine (especially to start) but we’re determined and going to be diligent in research and preparation before we jump into it.

Oof! Hello, fellow Ontarian here. I had no idea this was the case for Ontario farm workers! Is it common for people to be paid less than minimum wage and not get breaks? Is it just for specific times of year (ie harvesting) or for the entire growing season?

This may sound weird, but: thanks for the work you do in agriculture and feeding us! 😛 I’m in / from Toronto, and try to buy local when I can.

I love that all of the responses in here are just forking jokes.

I don’t believe that’s possible. I think at one point there was a way to disable all access to the history API, but I don’t believe that option exists anymore. Additionally, it would break a lot of websites.

Unfortunately I think this is probably a result of the way YouTube implements their “auto play next video” feature, and they are unlikely to change that.

An option might be using an alternative YouTube front-end, rather than using the YouTube site, but I don’t have a lot of experience with those. (other people on here do though)

No. The API is correctly named, but I can see how it could be misleading (and concerning!)

That API allows websites to programmatically go somewhere in your history. It can go forward, back, or to a specific point in your history, but it can’t see what that history is, it can only go back 3 pages back or forward 2 pages for example. It doesn’t actually know the history, it just navigates to those points in history. So Google isn’t going to know that you were on Pornhub 3 pages ago, for example.

This is from Insurrection, right?

Is anybody aside from Apple die-hards actually excited about this? The whole thing seems like a solution desperately searching for a problem. Expensive, you have to make an Apple store appointment to get one, will be perpetually low stock, only a few apps will be available for it, and will any games be available for it? I’m sure some die-hards will make an effort to use it constantly and be very vocal about how revolutionary it is for a couple months, but after that?

I’m still on IRC! There’s a raw simplicity to it that I appreciate. You don’t have to use a bloated Electron app to connect to a proprietary service, you can just go straight text on the protocol-level in terminal (if you’re nuts), and the protocol is open and simple enough to understand that you can easily make your own client even if you’re a lazy or mediocre dev.

So IRC, Lemmy, and I guess Instagram (if that counts)

Honestly that’s even better. Ugly dogs need extra love. But I’m sure the by-law accounts for that. I’m no dog lawyer!

Is this Toronto? This looks a lot like Toronto. If you’re from Toronto you should know that there is a city by-law that states if a cute dog is tied to your bike and you take a picture of it and submit it to Lemmy that you then legally get to keep the dog. Just FYI.

I agree entirely with that sentiment. With this absurd abandonment of the 4a, the constant reports of owners not being able to dial 911, and my 4a randomly deciding one day to go into “emergency mode” and begin calling 911 on its own (while the phone was in my hand, I was just checking email, finger was nowhere near the power button to activate “emergency mode”), and the fact that the feature gap between Android and iOS is becoming narrower and narrower, I am seriously considering going back to iPhone 🙄

Yep, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4a will not be getting anymore updates.

I’m not sure what that has to do with anything? I didn’t mention the emerald mine.

You get it put in and suddenly you think Musk is a sexy genius, apartheid wasn’t that bad, and that Tesla cars definitely aren’t trying to kill you.

Haha yeah, launch date, which makes it 3 years and 1 month which is still absurd. It’s sad that they’re okay with condemning the device as e-waste since it’s still perfectly serviceable, but I can’t use it for work if it’s no longer receiving at least security updates 😢

And before someone says “just buy a new pixel” I don’t really like the new pixels. The 4a has a headphone jack, a rear fingerprint reader, and is still fast with good battery. I shouldn’t be forced to buy an upgrade to this one yet.

So have they said why they’re dropping support for the 4a?

I got this phone straight from Google at the end of October 2020. So I haven’t even had it for 3 years yet, but it’s no longer being supported with security updates? That’s nuts.

The iPhone 7 I also have is still getting security updates. That’s over 7 years. And Google can barely make it to 3?

The phone still runs excellently. Haven’t even had to replace the battery.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to dump Google entirely.

Anything that makes you think critically, ponder, analyse, or absorb knowledge is a grand thing.

I just had an idea: daily Lemmy debates. We pick a topic that is relevant to the day, and we engage in healthy, respectful debate, picking a side and exploring that stance until all points of logic are exhausted.

My dude, you and Stamets are my Lemmy heroes. I can’t imagine I’d spend that much time on Lemmy if you guys weren’t around.

Glad you’re here friend, and glad you’re doing better!

Dammit Reddit was so fucking unhealthy.
