I’ve been hiking most weekends in northeastern Ontario. There’s been a lot of rain but I haven’t let that stop me from enjoying the forests and lakes
Hey Lemmy! Now that summer’s in full swing, how are you enjoying the warm weather? Have you made plans to get outdoors and explore our massive and beautiful country?
Interesting insights into how controlled the narrative is in /r/canada on Reddit. One of the things that struck me was that there’s no self posts in /r/canada unlike many other countries’ and provinces’ subreddits. It would be nice if we differentiated ourselves here on Lemmy with more self posts

Until proper alternatives are fully operational, EVs are not the worst thing.
You’re undercutting your own argument here.
EVs make sense in rural contexts, but that is and will always be a niche application. We can’t afford to ignore the bigger picture - most people live in cities. There are more efficient and better options to decarbonize cities than electric cars.
As the other commenter pointed out, electric cars are a step. A lot of people living in cities are ready to go farther now though. Let’s not ignore them or get in their way.
This is true for Québec to a lesser extent too

Inflation is on track to end 2024 below two per cent, and interest rate cuts are almost surely on their way sooner than that. So why do the provinces keep doing things that drive up the cost of living — and will Pierre Poilievre ever call them out?

While this crossposted opinion piece is within the context of the UK, Canada can also draw inspiration from across the pond to solve the housing crisis.

> The end of landlords: the surprisingly simple solution to the UK housing crisis
While electric cars are an improvement over ICE vehicles that will help the planet, there’s still a lot more potential to decarbonize cities faster and help people get moving again by investing in alternatives to driving and upzoning everywhere permissively to legalize traditional development patterns ie mixed use, walkable, transit oriented streets.

NIMBYs can come in any political stripe and must be countered everywhere.
There’s grains of truth peppered in throughout this piece but it’s light on quality sources.
Cities will have to become denser mixed use places. More car dependent suburban sprawl is not the answer. It’s been proven not fiscally sustainable.
You can always reach out to the maintainers to see. Some of them might have behind the scenes work going on, others might consider the crate complete if it’s already hit 1.0.0.
I don’t think you’ll find a one size fits all answer here, it depends the crate.
Getting rid of the efficiencies defence is a good start.
The article also hints at a deeper problem of land use. Zoning is limiting the space where new competitors can establish themselves. The established conglomerates buy up what little land is available.
Provincial governments need to tax ground rents so the revenue gets used to foster competition, not lining billionaires’ pockets.
Municipalities need to open up the suburbs to become denser mixed use spaces, where small businesses can develop and thrive.

K3s is a distribution of Kubernetes that bundles in a few commonly used convenient tools. It’s fairly lightweight compared to vanilla k8s, and it’s simple to setup. It’s a great choice for experimenting and learning and also production ready when you’re ready to push it farther.
They make boneheaded decisions occasionally like supporting the porn ID bill and it’s enough to make people hesitate.
There’s also a common narrative online that the NDP doesn’t actually support or care about labour anymore. It doesn’t really hold up when you actually take a critical look into the NDP’s actions but that’s too much effort for most people.
