Yey YouTube ads!

What @Vivaldi don't say in their release blog post of version 6.7 today: if you use the updated Vivaldi Feed Reader to watch subscribed youtube channel videos, you don't get to see any ads. Not sure how long this will work until Google shuts shuts this circumvention down, but right now if you're sick and tired of youtube ads, just use Vivaldi's feed reader (it's a great browser/mail program for everything else anyway)

Note that if you do that, you may want to consider other ways to support the folks who produce the videos, (which is generally the case with adblocking. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Make sure that people who create things you enjoy get something in return).

🇨🇦 NDP still pushing for universal pharmacare.

The current coalition government of NDP supporting Liberals is contingent on an agreement that Liberals will implement NDP priority of universal pharmacare. The Libs are trying to reneg, and the NDP are saying: ok, then we rescind our partnership and we can negotiate vote-by-vote.

That will slow things down, and make the next election interesting.

I've been making phone calls to MPs on this 🤞

I cannot get my head around why the ability of vehicle-to-grid, where your electric car can be tapped by the grid to take some of your charge away, is a good thing for the car owners. It just seems a fancy way to reduce your range.

Please someone explain to me what I am missing.

And the idea that your EV will charge when there is "less demand" is very amusing. Shall we look a few years into the future? Do you understand how sat nav services have gone wrong?

@serichards @CrackedWindscreen Saying “the car makers are going to subsidise this via the warranty” is really saying “you’ll have to pay a lot more when buying the car to cover the costs of this”.
