I would argue we also don't want to be in a place where we rely on any one individual. Thankfully @ernest seems to understand that as well.

Do we know if there have been any releases since the influx of users? Or are they just focusing on backend stuff still?

There's still a lot of long hanging fruit *COUGHcollapsingthreads that would be great to have addressed sooner rather than later.

At the risk of sounding like an ass.... why? He's done a lot of horrible things that affected a LOT of people.

There's a lot of "Weekend At Bernie's" going on in Congress these days huh?

Ironically Bernie is one of the least comatose of the bunch.

I think they would take on a new meaning if the money went to actually running the service and not to corporate profiteering though.
Like if or not unless we go full wikipedia model, as these sites grow they'll need some sort of income to pay the bills.

You have to make wayyyyy too many assumptions for this to be a useful comparison.

There's a lot of people who live in places with electricity generated mostly or entirely through renewables for instance.

It's at the point where it's clear no single measure will solve this issue. What is absolutely infuriating is that NOTHING is being done. Actually scratch that, they are actively making things worse with crap like the "First Home Savings Account".

Not a great look for Shopify IMO.
Why would you want to facilitate tax evasion?

Obvious a very low level study, but as someone with tinnitus any progress in their area is exciting!

I'll take my slightly good news where I can get it. I'm begging for scraps over here!

Strong disagree. The biggest part of Reddit is the comments. If you want more comments you need more people. If you want more people you need enough content to keep them engaged.

I'm 100% for posting links from Reddit over here to drive engagement.

Raising rates will lower prices to some extent. So it should help somewhat. The issue is that's it's a very very blunt instrument. It just happens to be one of the only tools the BoC has to use. Ideally the feds would have stepped in at some poi t in the last 15 years to stop this madness...

I mean yeah. Once other "financial assets" become more attractive (bonds at 5.5%?) maybe less parasitical activity will happen in the housing market. The whole thing started going off the rails when rates dropped to essentially nothing.

If you think current home owners have it bad, imagine anyone trying to get in the market now. Not only are mortgages 3X the price, but the houses are 2X the price they were before. The entire thing is completely unsustainable, and yet the Feds have done fuck all. Well no, actually they have made it worse every single step of the way (see the first time home buyers savings account for the latest idiotic idea).

The light, which looks like a regular traffic light, is red when it's at rest. Once a vehicle comes within range of its sensors, the light turns green to signal to the driver they're respecting the speed limit. If they're driving too fast, the light stays red, forcing them to slow down.

I actually kind of like this idea...

Surely @ernest has some help at this point? Needs to start delegating or finding trusted maintainers if not.
