Why a .org instead of a .ca ?

What he says is true though.

Morality is not a law of nature.

I'm not sure how what you said contradicts what I wrote.

You can only say "ends justify the means" if you can achieve the ends, otherwise you loose. The whole point of the saying is that the reaching the goal is the only important thing, how you get there does not matter. We'll have to wait and see if the destination will be reached.

The rich will have to pay one way or another. In either case the rich will always complain.

5 down, 338 to go.

Damn it's very nice of the cons to run for the 44th Parliament (338 seats) instead of the 45th Parliament (343 seats).

Which to choose: GNU IceCat or LibreWolf? (lemmy.ca)
 

Trying to move away from FireFox.

I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.

What are the pros and cons for each?

I tried GNU IceCat and I don't know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?

I need the following extensions:

  • ublock origin
  • send to MPV player
  • privacy badger
  • Distraction free youtube
  • Unhook
  • LeechBlock NG
  • Privacy Badger
  • Tab Session Manager
  • KeePassXC-Browser

I cannot log in using Lemmy account (lemmy.ca)
 

The login interface only allows login with mastodon servers.

My only account is this lemmy.ca account.

Will it be possible to add login options for lemmy and other activity pub server software (e.g. friendica, peertube, etc)?

Looking for New Moderators (lemmy.ca)

Hello All!

Thank you for using the Ottawa sublemmy. There has been a significant growth in users recently and I would like to recruit some new moderators for the community.

I would also like to have a francophone be a member of the mod team.

Please reply if you're interested, will then reach out over DMs.

Edit:

What the role will be:

  • Minimal commitment
  • Be present on the forum
  • Remove content that doesn't abide be rules set for the sublemmy

So far, the community is running well without much intervention, I suspect more eyes will be needed as new people come in.

Also, having a francophone would allow the same policy be upheld for both official languages.

Looking for Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle (recommendations please) (lemmy.ca)
 

I am looking for a stainless steel insulated bottle. Preferred size is 500 mL.

The nearest store to me sells Hydro Flask.

I would like some other recommendations.

Some of my own research so far: Hydro Flask is owned by Helen of Troy (Nasdaq: HELE). I have come across Klean Kanteen, they seem like a good company but I'd have to ship in because it is not in store.

Ideally I'd like to support a company that is a co-operative or B-corp and not owned by a conglomerate traded on the Nasdaq/NYSE.

Obviously Canadian is preferred if possible.

What are the dev boards in the sublemmy's picture? (lemmy.ca)
 

This is probably meta, but I'd like to know what are the boards in the picture in the banner of the sublemmy?
