It's nearing the end of the year and I am on a better financial situation than I anticipated.

I am planning to donate to VisionZero and Movement because I am familiar with their missions and want to improve walking/cycling/bussing conditions in our region.

I don't know much about organizations addressing homelessness and ppverty and I would like to donate to groups addressing these challenges as well.

I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.

GrapheneOS includes this feature

My film recommendation: The Florida Project. It follows a young girl and her single mother struggling to make it in Kissiimee, Florida (where Disney World is). Most of us would think living beside Disney World would be amazing but there is a darker underside of poverty. I have heard the film described as 'poverty porn' but I thought it was a fair depiction.

I love slice of life films and this is one of my favourites.

I spent the day looking for a desktop app that does this and finally found Scribus. The fact that most desktop Linux PDF readers and editors cannot do this satisfactorily does not make me hopeful that such an app exists for Android.

There is a place near me called "Indian Burger Joint" which does something like this. Super tasty and great variety of different Indian flavours and styles.

This article gives a good discussion about a potential coming East/West political split in the world of FOSS.

You make a good point. Hate must be addressed at its root.

I see hate speech censorship as important for protecting the victims/vulnerable. How can we protect these people without this censorship?

Do you have any favourite examples of how a society can fight hatred?

I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word 'censorship'.

I am so grateful for your work on both of these projects.

You don't know that! All you know is that you don't know if you know any of us. ;)

Does anyone have experience playing this on the SteamDeck?

I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships.

Reply, 1988

It is a Korean drama where each episode focuses on a different character, all living on the same street in Seoul in 1988. I recommend it to everyone as my favourite show but especially for your preference described above. You feel each character's struggles and successes. The way the show develops the characters through their relationships with their families and friends is outstanding.

Have you seen the proposed Official Community Plan for Burnaby? I would say it could go further at densifying neighourhoods near transit, but its clear that most of the city will become zoned for apartments and townhomes.

This doesn't just address the design bottleneck. Since it is a standard, permitting is super fast to approve. Construction will be quicker since each home will be made of standard components. The hope is that much of the construction can be done off site with a quicker assembly done on site.

Funding may be easier to get if the are able to negotiate with the builder. Say, the original owner gets a new unit + lump sum and the builder gets to sell the other units to pay off the costs of construction.

Ironically, Plexus currently crashes and won't open on GrapheneOS. Both 2.0.3 on F-Droid and 2.0.6 on IzzyOnDroid.

More than a decade later and I still get nightmares about screwing this up, not dropping a course, finding out late, and having to prepare for an exam without ever having attended the lectures.

For the sake of your future sleep, please make sure not to miss this! :P

I tend to avoid stacking primary tags, like shop. I would use shop=sports combined with sports=surf;skate.
