It's a mix for me. I'll definitely use the CLI for most things, but I find some things easier with a GUI:

  • Viewing history / branches
  • cherry picking
  • unstaging files

Tamara Lich, Chris Barber accused of orchestrating 2022 demonstration that took over downtown Ottawa It started more than a year ago, took nearly 50 days in a courtroom and may not be decided until next year, but the trial of two leaders of the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" protest in Ottawa finally ended Friday.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber pleaded not guilty to mischief, intimidation, obstruction and other charges.

Crown prosecutors called 16 witnesses and presented hours of video evidence and numerous social media posts in an effort to prove their case.

I seriously hope these two racist assholes get what they deserve, but with Lawrence Greenspon as their lawyer, who knows.

Ottawa police investigators, who tracked the photo down, say it is set to be returned to the hotel

What's that cable he's standing on? Is that as far as the ankle monitor lets him go?

4G had a lot of the same issues as 3G, but 5G was a complete redesign (including security). It was supposed to have been way harder to break than previous generations.

Well, if they won't send him home, we should all just start calling the team "the Dutch Rapists".

Maybe if enough people do it, they might find a conscience?

Isn't that what I said?

I know what you're saying, and I agree that X is extremely problematic.

I think the difference is that X is owned by private individuals, whereas they're saying here that TikTok is under the control of the Chinese state. I wonder if there are different rules at play for estate actors?

What, in your opinion, would make Ottawa better? (lemm.ee)

Hey everyone,

Kind of quiet here, so I thought I'd ask a question that's been on my mind for a while:

What would make Ottawa better, in your view? Big or small.

For me, it would be to improve the walkability. I walk, jog, cycle, motorbike, and drive, all fairly frequently. It drives me wild how long it takes (mid winter or bad weather) from the time I press a crosswalk button, to the time the lights change. I'd love to see that improved.
