At the bottom of the chain on mastodon the creator says they use the search APIs of the store websites. I wouldn’t have expected those to be easily accessible!
They must have really pissed off the landlord. It doesn’t say what they asked for in the lease agreement changes… Or what they said to him when they “complained” when he raised the rent initially by a smaller amount.
Still ridiculous that it’s legal to raise rent by that much, but oof, if you’re in one of those buildings, be nice to your landlord.
Edit: i think people are taking what I said the wrong way - I’m saying with the way things are, if landlords can get away with this, they hold all the power!
Edit2: I guess I’m the bad guy here, but I recommend you focus your rage on Ford who set this shit up in the first place.
Yeah agreed but because of the lack of rent control they don’t have to. That’s my point. They hold a lot of power being able to do what they want with rent changes alone.

I mean here’s 3 paragraphs about how hes helping and us plebian meateaters are the problem.
No, he talks about how the meat agriculture industry is the problem and he’s trying to help find an alternative for people, and says it isn’t good enough yet.
But if you identify yourself by the fact that you eat meat and take offense to that, you do you.
With how bad air quality has been this year, I grabbed myself a DIY AirGradient kit so I can monitor air quality in my living space. It was easy to assemble and only required a little bit of soldering knowledge. I’m definitely not proficient enough at soldering as many components ended up crooked on the board. Still works...
In the back of my mind with all this, I have this thought that Saskatchewan is doing the right thing here.
Keep in mind this is coming from someone who fully supports 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, it’s not even a question for me and never has been.
But for this I really worry about the kinds of things that could happen if a parent (especially a hardcore bigotted one) finds out about their child’s name and/or gender change in an unexpected way.
Say prime bigot number one (we’ll call him J so as not to disparage any common names) comes to the school to pick up his kid J Jr. J isn’t super proud of his son, thinks he’s a bit of a pansy really, but that don’t mean no nothing no how that anyone else can treat his boy like a pansy. So there’s J watching his son walk up to him, when another kid he doesn’t know comes up behind J Jr and says “Hey M!” (M being a quintessentially feminine name) and little M (nee J Jr) immediately turns, then realizes their dad is watching and freaks out, turning, embarrassed, blushing and runs to the car. J sees all this and misinterprets it as the kid teasing/bullying his son. What happens next?
Or even more simply the school sends a report card, email or letter to one or more bigotted parents at home using the “wrong” name or pronoun for the kid. What happens next?
So anyway, I don’t want any kid to have to go through their transition or find their true selves while dealing with evil, bigotted parents, but the fact is, these are minors and their parents or guardians will be involved, some way, somehow. And maybe I’m stereotyping here, but evil, bigotted parents are also the kind of people you don’t necessarily want to be surprising with info like this.
If a kid doesn’t, however, that means it’s not safe to do so.
But in that case, my worry is that without this policy, the kid might think they’re safe coming out at school and something terrible could happen. I don’t trust the school, teachers and other kids to keep the info secret from their parents.
Russian president Vladimir Putin breaks his silence on the plane crash a day earlier that reportedly killed mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and other senior...
OP didn’t say anything about the length. Some of us are in a dark, quiet room, beside someone who is sleeping. We don’t want to watch a video, we want to read stuff.
Also, how the fuck are we supposed to know how long it is without clicking on it?
Got this from the Piped description, but also didn’t watch:
Russian president Vladimir Putin breaks his silence on the plane crash a day earlier that reportedly killed mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and other senior members of the Wagner paramilitary group. “I have known Yevgeny Prigozhin for a very long time, since the early 1990s,” Putin says. “He was a man of complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in his life, but he achieved the right results.”
I chose it for an English literature class, as I was always fascinated by Arthurian legend. The teacher thought I was mad, and was probably right. But it was more that I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.
I was adept at French, which really helped. But it was a long slow read. Looking back I don’t know how I managed other than to ignore the parts I really didn’t understand. It was pre internet hahah.
In the end, I’d say yes, I did enjoy it. It’s always stuck with me, and I automatically compare every Arthurian story (book, movie, etc) to what I remember from it - which I guess makes sense.
But ultimately it’s very sad. Almost depressing. And the dryness of it makes it feel like it could have really happened.
Damn, your question is enticing me to it up again!
Well that’s kind of what the original person said and I gave another option. You don’t know. I don’t know. But saying they’re banging because she changed what she said isnt fair either.
I believe the point is that there’s a process for deciding whether a juvenile should be charged as a juvenile or as an adult. It means a juvenile who is mature enough to be making cold, calculated decisions (like, “hey, I’m a juvenile, I can get away with more”) can still be tried as an adult.
Anyone tech savy enough to do something similar in Canada? (mastodon.gamedev.place)
It would be nice to be able to bring to light the price gouging that is taking place in Canada with regards to grocery stores.
Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?
Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I’ve really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.
