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.
There’s actually a Python-based framework that can make mobile apps called Kivy, but as you might expect it would not be terribly performant.
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.
Haha also yearly for me. I have actually written a small utility in rust that interacts with mysql, but it was basically just transposing python to rust, plus it’s hacky as hell and I didn’t really learn anything.
I’ve stuck that rust book in the “one day” silo, along with the guitar, learning French, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep. One day.
Nice! Just in time for my yearly “I should finally learn rust” and then forget about it a week later habit.
To be fair, he is obligated to toe the line and regurgitate his talking points, otherwise the IDF might make him go to the front.
This is from Insurrection, right?
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’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.
Nah, they’re too busy running phone scams on senior citizens.
Edit: in retrospect this might come across as racist — I meant that the same people being paid to spread Indian nationalism online also probably have no problem running phone scams against other countries, and phone scam centres are de facto sanctioned by some local governments over there.
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.
What’s really cool is seeing actual conversations taking place. I’m actually able to comment here and I’m not immediately being drowned out by being one of ten thousand comments or constant contrarian trolling.
It has also totally replaced Reddit for me. It reminds me a lot of the old internet and a bit of early Reddit. It’s a really cool experiment, and if it continues as-is I will be thrilled, and if not then I will forever have a sense of pride of what everyone here accomplished. It’s very cool.
I am also interested in alternatives as I still use Clockify. But I also need to rant about Clockify: oh my God it is so damn buggy. Whenever I use my VPN on Windows to connect to the office (split routing, so only traffic destined for the office goes over the VPN, not all traffic) Clockify goes in and out of “No internet connection…” for 5-10 seconds. It’s also constantly logging me out, and will sometimes pop up a ton of “new update available” dialogue windows at the same time.
It also doesn’t have great rounding options. And one of my clients has a tiered billing structure (X dollars up to a certain number of hours, Y dollars for anything over that in the month) which I don’t think I can track in Clockify at all, so I end up doing all of that manually every month.
I thought about looking for FOSS alternatives but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Also thought about doing my own FOSS thing with a paid hosted / support component, but I don’t have much cross-platform GUI dev experience.
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.
