Fediverse@piefed.social•Do you have any personal goals for growing/building the Fediverse?English
3·12 hours agoI’ve been scheduling posts fairly regularly on my non-admin account. When I left Reddit, I started following a number of RSS feeds and newsletters, so there’s always one or two things each day worth sharing (and usually more when I skip a few days).
Otherwise I’m hoping to spread more of the positivity that I got when I started out here :)

51·13 hours agoI like it too 😅 Although I’d prefer to be able to reduce the spacing as much as possible
Adjustable leveling feet that I designed and 3D printed. You can kick them over with your toe to adjust and get rid whatever wobble appears in that particular spot.
Well that’s cool!

As each region eliminates a disease, it gets easier for the remaining regions to deal with it
!lemmy411@lemmy.ca would be best for that. You can also ask in the various c/nostupidquestions communities

Manitoba@lemmy.ca•Bill proposes ending seasonal time change in ManitobaEnglish
4·2 days agoBritish Columbia had a similar sequence of events play out last year

2025-03-20
For several years, British Columbians have been tantalized with the promise of no longer needing to spring forward or fall back for the time change twice a year for Daylight Savings. Now, it seems they’ll be waiting even longer for this to become reality.
About one week ago, the B.C. Conservative Party, the Official Opposition, introduced a bill to stop future time changes in the province.
During that announcement, Eby was asked about stopping the time change, and his answer made it clear that it wasn’t necessarily a priority in light of other more pressing issues that have come up.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Rare Canadian rainforest at risk from logging | The Narwhal
6·2 days agoSome extra info:
Summary
- The Rainbow, Jordan and Frisby valleys in British Columbia’s rare inland temperate rainforest are home to endangered species and ancient trees.
- Two logging companies hold licences to log in the old-growth valleys, while the government agency BC Timber Sales has operating areas there.
- A 2019 proposal to permanently protect 10,500 hectares in the three valleys as a provincial park has gained renewed interest as Revelstoke city council announced in February that it supports increased conservation of the critically endangered inland temperate rainforest.

There are probably better sources about this story
I love the new branches :)

Any ban would roll in without enough time for people to switch away. Twitter doesn’t do anything special that can’t be replicated elsewhere.

World News@lemmy.world•NATO Shoots Down Iranian Missile Headed for TurkeyEnglish
81·3 days agoTo those down voting, the comment likely refers to this. However I haven’t looked into how true this is, and I don’t know this website
https://greekcitytimes.com/2026/03/01/turkey-concern-douglas-mcgregor-iran/
Amid intensifying escalation across the Middle East, a Turkish media outlet has highlighted controversial remarks by retired U.S. Colonel Douglas McGregor, sparking strong reactions in Ankara.
According to the report, McGregor suggested that after Iran, attention could shift toward the “elimination” of Turkey, placing Ankara in what he described as the next phase of a widening regional confrontation following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•2026's conflicts are about to make the case for renewables and electric vehicles even more attractive.
2·3 days agoFor now, but it still changes the cost calculus when planning future energy projects. Countries that get burned on the costs today will want to prevent that in the future.

15·3 days agoI think people are more likely to join platforms like this if they have lost trust in the other platforms, which also makes them more distrustful and cautious in otherwise normal interactions
We could all have more patience with one another 😄
I did want to read some comments discussing the contents of the article. I’ll pop back later I guess

The bot seems to be having issues with the body text, it is from a different article (linked at the bottom)
I am leaving this post up so that the maintainer can look into what happened.
