I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it's just about soon moving the clock

Canada-based TD Bank hit with $3B penalty in U.S. money laundering settlement in c/canada@lemmy.ca

“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”

I hope no one indeed will be "off limits" in the criminal investigation, let's see...

X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single day in c/technology@lemmy.world

I agree. I love Mastodon's calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I'm in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

Police In Canada Warn Lawyer Over Her Social Media Posts On Israel in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] moormaan@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I agree with you, I'm also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the "you are walking a line" comment, but without knowing all the details, I'm reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions. I really hope this story gets picked up by media so we at least get that side as well, however imperfect it might be.

Godot staff are facing a huge reactionary backlash on Xitter for being "woke" in c/godot@programming.dev

Agreed, no big deal. But YouTubers who knew about it before this controversy will typically use the intended pronouncing, and it's easy to spot those who didn't care much about it until this all started.

It sounds like G-DOUGH.

This never crossed my mind, but you are right. Online interactions do lack a lot of context, and it must have been hard (or practically impossible) to discern genuine from malicious calls to remain apolitical in a situation of intense online harassment.

This is evident in a few ways:

  • How they subtly or glaringly misunderstand what it is and what it does
  • How they call it "a company"
  • How they pronounce it as GO-DOT

20% by 20%, the progress bar of me agreeing with this assessment went to a 100% as I was reading it.

Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I'll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂

Analiza profesora Radonjića koja treba sve da nas zabrine: Zašto Srbiju izvesno čeka apokaliptični scenario u slučaju rudarenja litijuma (nova.rs)
 

U pravu je Vučić kad kaže da nisu sve zemlje uvek bile bogate i sve uvek siromašne. Samo što su na čelu zemalja koje su „proklete“ resursima obično autoritarne i korumpirane vlasti u službi transnacionalnih korporacija.

Greenbelt developer sued over another Ontario land deal (www.thestar.com)
 

"Fenwick invested $3.5 million into buying the $7.4-million property in 2007, making him the largest shareholder. He alleges that after more than a decade of minimal activity, Rice suddenly called a meeting in June 2021. He says Rice urged him and the other investors to take advantage of a “spike” in demand for industrial property by selling the land, adding that it could take another decade for the municipality to build sewer and water services, and developing the property privately would yield a low return on their investment."
