would it be possible to live in the modern world only using a laptop?? no cellphone anything
  • There'd be a few times it would be really inconvenient.

    For example some concerts only allow tickets from the Ticketmaster app, not even a printed ticket. Though possibly showing the ticket on the laptop would work but then I'm not sure they'd let you bring a laptop into a concert.

  • New Smile Album, Single

    I'm pretty excited for this album, I feel the two tracks we've gotten so far are really great and a bit different from the first album.

    CUPE statement on violence in Palestine and Israel
  • Even within unions it can be bad. I was in a union and the company did something against the contact so I talked to the union reps. They told me I shouldn't grieve because the company gets mad at me, but I insisted so they said they'd look into it and get back to me. A month later they said they asked but found out there is a three week window so I missed it.

  • What's your favourite gear?
  • It's a l but of a luxury weight wise but my backpacking chair. It's relatively light for a chair but still heavy for portages but it makes the whole camp so much more comfortable.

  • How does healthcare work in your country?
  • Not the other poster but a Canadian too. It varies. To see my GP I can get an appointment within the week, usually same day, though most people here need to wait a couple weeks. Then there GP refers me to specialists, that's usually between 1-6 months wait.

    Emergency yeah you are usually looking at 4 hours wait absolute minimum. Though you don't get charged for it at least. Though I guess it depends on severity, they will prioritize by how serious it is not by first arrival.

    The other thing the other poster didn't mention is that medication is not covered so you have to pay full for that unless you have insurance. Also for some reason dental isn't covered at all without insurance (or I think recently for low income families but I'm not 100% sure if that's implemented yet or not)

  • Undo "hide read"?
  • I think what they are saying is: Lemmy itself has an option you set on your profile that shows or hides read posts. That'll apply forever no matter which client you use, but you can't even see your own posts that way so it's frustrating.

    Then the clients themselves, like sync, might have their own option to hide read that works independently of the Lemmy setting, in which case they should have more control over it.

    In my case I have Lemmy set to show read posts but sync set to hide them but like other people have said, it doesn't seem to work perfectly.

    Machine to run Frigate NVR

    At the moment I've got frigate running on an old dell server through proxmox, writing to drives on that server, but they are shared with a lot of other services.

    I'd like to separate it and have a machine that is kinda just acting as a full NVR and writing to it's own drives.

    Anybody have any suggestions for one? Are the mini PC's any good or I guess they wouldn't hold enough drives to have plenty of storage.

    Vaughan Exploring split from York Region

    Thoughts on if this would be good for Vaughan? To be honest I'm not completely clear on which services are currently provided by Vaughan and which by York Region.

    The Smile - Bending Hectic

    Seeing as I couldn't find a community for The Smile, I figured people here would be interested.

    Personally I love it, and have since seeing it live. It's like the first 3/4 is "Bending" then the last is "Hectic".

    Best pizza in Vaughan

    I'm going to go against popular opinion here and say I wasn't very impressed with Taste of Naples. The guy was rude and the pizza expensive.

    I prefer pizza break. But my favorite is the Fortinos pizza!

    Best takeout for a picnic?

    Looking for suggestions for a place with good takeout to have at a picnic! Bonus points if you can recommend a park or nature area nearby to have the picnic as well.

    Page Not Found | Algonquin Highlands

    Anybody been to this area near Algonquin in Ontario? I can't seem to find a digital map of canoe routes other than the booking one.

    Edit: Turns out Jeff's Map (of Algonquin) actually has the whole area included!
