What exactly does PieFed do? I'm just on Lemmy, does PieFed let me see more fediverse content?

I always forget that Snapchat has a public side to it. My wife and I just use it as a messaging app for videos/pictures.

Because my wife likes it, and she's pretty important to me.

You're right though, it's certainly not a private p2p network.

Thanks!

Anybody here use Vivaldi browser? I tried it out recently and liked it. Built in ad blocker, built in VPN, built in rss reader. Wondering what people are using in general to avoid U.S. corps?

Loads of browsers and blockers work on YouTube, they only fight the hugely popular ones.

Not OP, but possibly because the Liberals continue to approve shipping military equipment to Israel. The url is specifically about the genocide in Gaza.

I agree it's odd without context.

I think it might be a deeper cultural problem than that. I suspect Carney appeals to more Canadians specifically because he is more neoliberal and closer to the Conservatives than his predecessor. Just assuming that people only like him because of Pollievre is, in my opinion, a bit dangerous because it glosses over the need for deeper cultural change.

Broadly speaking, we live in a democracy with a strong 4th estate, so Carney's support speaks to the ideals of many Canadians. And THAT is the problem.

I am appalled that Carney has such high approval ratings among Canadians. I think it speaks to deep cultural problems in Canada, that we have been importing from the U.S.A..

That's fair, I've seen some concerning headlines recently about emergency hospitals in Winnipeg, but I agree it's a difficult task, and some steps have been taken.

Let me have my dreams! Lol

I'd rather defund the billionaires, killing animals (even humans) isn't ideal.

A couple of decades ago they actually had "socialist" officially in their platform. It has been missing for a while, and I would love to see the label come back in their next platform!

I hear we're getting more 7-11s soon, there's really no better time!

And it looks like we know why radar couldn't predict it accurately: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/radar-research-cuts-tornado-prediction-9.7261730

What can be done about this? Is there any provincial party with a viable platform?

I know he's the most popular premiere in the country, and I also acknowledge that Obby Khan would be infinitely worse, so at the risk of being lambasted... I really, really don't like Kinew's policies.

The huge gas tax holiday only helped those rich enough to own a car, not those who needed it most. It also encouraged destructive behavior like driving, which fits with his current soft position on pipelines. He even lobbied the federal government under Trudeau to cancel the carbon rebate program, which helped low income Canadians the most, and reduced emissions.

On top of all of that, his main campaign promise to fix Healthcare has gone disastrously. Healthcare is in a worse state than ever.

I realize this is a bit of a rant, and may be out of place, but I wanted to give Manitoba a bit more engagement here on Lemmy. Take care everybody, and thanks for reading!
