Google Maps in Android Auto does it, but I think they use Waze data.

I appreciate this move. The nice thing about the Fediverse is that admins can take a step like this to protect the integrity of this instance, and users can still engage with that stuff if they create an account on another instance. I’ll continue to argue with bigots elsewhere but I’m grateful for how the admins curate Blahaj Lemmy.

It’s a shame how the UK seems to be heading backwards on human rights, and shameful how the UK government has decided to throw in with the bigots and embolden them.

It’s at times like these I turn to my man Alexei:

Don’t let this many anywhere near power. At best, he’ll send Canada down the fascist drain like the USA, and at worst he’ll sell Canada to the USA.

It’s a part of the wider right-wing war on empathy. They see it as a weakness, not as fundamental to what we are.

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy

Yes, Musk said ‘The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.’ Here’s context

There’s always a problem proposing that social media companies be held legally responsible for the content their users create. If they can get sued for anything anyone says in a post, it could become impossible for anyone to run a social media site or even a web forum.

Its a question of the process and the criteria. I’m a Canadian citizen. I want to know that citizenship is a status I hold securely, not something the government can revoke if I do something they don’t like. There would have to be a rigorous process for it. But it would be better, I think, to deal with citizens under Canadian law and not to consider undoing their citizenship. Any power to remove it is ripe for abuse and a likely slippery slope.

As I stated during my Joint Address to the Congress last month, my message to every American child is simple: you are perfect exactly the way God made you,” reads Trump’s statement.

The implication is that God didn’t make anyone gay, trans, non-binary, etc., and if any minor claims to be naturally the way they feel they are, MAGA fascists will step in to correct them with God on their side. They will tell themselves they’re doing a good thing. That’s how the original Nazis lived with working in concentration camps committing mass murder too, and like MAGA fascists they also considered themselves good Christians.

They expect single Americans everywhere to be celibate. Except themselves, because that’s different.

All that time and money invested in agent Krasnov is really paying off.

More likely someone he didn’t like came from Norfolk VA or Norfolk MA or Norfolk NE, or Norfolk in England or Canada, and Trump’s team (or the LLM they used to write the document) doesn’t know the difference.

Kids in the 1960s were the same, and the USA still sent them off to get killed, maimed, and traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Most people know what it means, I think. Still, no shame in not knowing.

I’m not the person you were asking, but:

Cash back credit cards reward you by refunding a percentage of your purchases made using the card. You can use this refund as a credit towards your monthly balance or as cash deposited into your bank account. Some cards offer a flat percentage on all purchases, while others offer higher percentages on select categories.

Of course, they wouldn’t be doing this if you weren’t paying them at least the refunded amount somewhere else - through fees, or through people’s average interest payments, or through price increases applied by the stores to cover the fees they pay to the credit card companies.

Yes, Interac debit is an alternative in many situations, and that’s a Canadian company.

That standard should still deal with plenty of the fascists, if consistently applied. Only the decent, honest, law-abiding fascists will slip through.

If you’re in the USA don’t you dare say abducting medics, handcuffing them, executing them and dumping their bodies in a mass grave is bad, or you’ll be abducted, tortured and disappeared to permanent prison in a random country. This is called free speech.

Bad guys are endorsing the bad guys. Don’t vote for the bad guys.

I’m not sure there has been a single documented case of a trans person causing trouble in a restroom. Assholes, by contrast, cause plenty of trouble.

The disaster was that the immigration policy wasn’t matched with any meaningful policy to create more housing at an affordable price. Immigration is something Canada continues to need, but on housing politicians are torn between the demands of those who can’t afford housing and the demands of the corporations that build and own property, plus (to a lesser extent, because the gains aren’t real) homeowners who want their property to keep increasing in value. And as usual corporate interests tend to win out.

But maybe there could be corporate pressure for Canada to do something about housing, if it helps other (non-housing) corporations attract skilled workers from the USA and elsewhere.
