Reddit has made it easy now that my mobile apps are gone. Also, my main account got permananned on Tuesday apparently out of comment posted 5 years ago about spez. Also, a niche sub I followed was taken over by a Nazi when the historical mod got kicked out by reddit and now that's gone too.

Reddit has slipped into being irrelevant very quickly.

Well, not anymore!

Conservatives being hypocritical bastards? I'm shocked - SHOCKED.

They could try paying people decent wages, which have been stagnating for 35 years. Maybe then they'll be more motivated to be more productive.

What sucks is there's still a few very good subs with big communities that don't seem to be moving to the fediverse, which is still too geeky for a lot of people. However, now that Reddit is banning active members and moderators, it's a matter of weeks until the whole thing turns into 4chan-on-a-bad-day. At this rate we'll all get back to usenet by 2024.

So... what's the news?

AC has gone to absolute shit. I fly internationally and pay extra to not fly with them due to past experiences. They still owe me thousands of dollars for "lost" luggage and hotel nights last year and I hope to never fly with those bozos ever again. AC management being shit is one thing, the way the agents treat passengers is another level of insult.

They're cutting a ton of good union jobs and offshoring as much as possible while being crazy profitable. This is so fucked up.

Reddit old-timer from Toronto here. Happy to see how fast the Fediverse is evolving thanks to u/spez. Feels like the internet again.

It's a medium-size city in the middle of nowhere basically. The land is so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. It's not a desirable place so it's cheap.

Yo can buy wine and beer in corner stores and drink in parks all over Quebec and it's not a problem. Ontario isn't different, except for the persistent smell of prohibition (which started in Ontario!).

They said the same thing about weed stores and there hasn't been any increase in accidents.

Those who want to drink will drink, making it more accessible won't change that. It'll be nice not having to drive multiple kilometres to get a sixpack.

There's a couple of good instances and July 1st is pudding day.

English-International, ça fait tout. Mon standard depuis 30 ans, clavier QWERTY.

She's so unqualified it's painful.

Air Canada pilots have just joined ALPA and got pretty big raises in their new contract. Good for them, but management is pissed.

J'aime bien Summit, Connect et Wefwef. Design propre et minimaliste et ça a l'air de bien marcher. Jerboa a tendance à planter.

The RCMP (Racist Corrupt Motherfucking Pigs) refusing to investigate MMAW isn't anything new, that's their usual response sadly.

Those fines are ridiculously low, they should be based on a percentage of the company's net worth. I bet that puny amount will be treated as a business expense.

Galaxy S23+ here, had the S10 and S7 before that. Great cameras (it matters to me) and very durable phones once you put them in a good case. The S23+ is easier on my old eyes and I easily get 3+ days battery life out of it. Samsung has also done a nice job slimming down the UI but I use the Nova launcher anyway.

I've lived in quite a few places in my life and those that have the worst alcohol problems are the most restrictive ones. Restricting means more binge drinking, there's a lot of empirical evidence showing that.

Perhaps it's high time our government stops treating us like irresponsible children.

My Instant Pot. I'm the cook at home and it saves me so much time and food comes out so good I barely use my stovetop anymore. Same with the air fryer. Between both kitchen gadgets, I can make a tremendous meal for 4 in 30 minutes. It has saved me weeks!
