The firmware explicitly states it’s for photos only, and I tried my luck using both mp4 and webm formats.

I think you’re misunderstanding, the TV’s firmware literally states that it can only be used for photos. I tried accessing both webm and mp4 to try my luck, but nothing.

Oh! Is Roku something you can get separately? I always thought it was just a built-in OS on newer TVs.

Still don’t fully agree. The environmental impact of shipping from overseas is costly, so investing in means to create product here rather than overseas should be seen as a necessity.

We grow tomatoes, cucumbers, cannabis, and some bell peppers in green houses here, and should invest in expanding those options available to Canadian consumers.

As much as I like them, their prices were insane. I get supporting local, but at that price point? Ouch.

Look, if he just left it at saying that the protests were fine but the encampment was not, that would at least be understandable.

COMPARING IT TO THE FREEDOM CONVOY? BRUH

Immediate thought that comes to mind is that you can follow the Lemmy and Pixelfed accounts from your Mastodon, which would give you some ease in accessing their posts via Mastodon, and then boost the posts from there.

Hope that helps a bit, tbf cross-platform interactions like this are something I have very limited experience with.

Not entirely. While you can interact with content from other social platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube from Lemmy, federation is best experienced when you utilize platforms with similar use cases.

For example, the link aggregators (Reddit-likes) on the fediverse are Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, and until recently, Lotide. Each of these platforms have similar looks and purpose with slight differentiation. While you can communicate with video streaming or microblogging like PeerTube and Mastodon respectively, it’s best to stay within the link aggregators and make a new account for those purposes.

To give an example with microblogging on the Fediverse, there’s also a number of options. Biggest one is Mastodon, but others include Misskey and it’s endless forks, Smithereen, Pleroma/Akkoma, Mitra, Threads, etc. all with their own interesting quirks. While they can interact with Lemmy and whatnot, their best interactions are going to be with similar-purposed platforms.

Genuinely surprised Smith is that low. Like, if it took into account how people nationally felt about Smith I’d see this as expected, but the Angus Reid poll referenced seems to be based on the approval ratings of the premiers by their constituents.

I swear not long back Smith had a 60% approval rating here, which is absurd to think about as expected as it is. Wonder if the podcast surfacing pissed people off.

I actually haven’t! I’ll be sure to contact them!

Thanks! Hopefully that’s still an option, so I’ll likely ask the next time I’m in the area or have time on my hands.

Cat meows, more at 11

God, why do they feel entitled to our marketplace? Jesus Christ can they just fuck off?

Will do! I’ll look at the smaller communities when I can. Mouse is borked at the moment, so using the Raccoon app on mobile and NumLock keys on the desktop to get around for the time being.

Is that the case? I’ve been hearing a lot about how unreliable the F-35s have been with it being hard to even get them off the ground half the time due to the maintenance needed on them.

I fucking love this guy, the more I hear about him, the more I want to throw my vote for the Greens.

As much as I wish they would ditch May and make him the sole leader of the party, I might concede my gripes and vote for them anyway since he’s just so fucking talented as a person and party leader.

Look up this guy’s portfolio, he walks the walk.

“Joking”

Why why WHY must Charlie Angus be stepping out of politics? I like Singh as a person, but he lacks proper leadership skills that the NDP desperately needs right now.

I have seen Angus’ name in the media equally, if not more than Singh, and that’s incredibly impressive given that Singh HAS to be covered by the media as a party leader. Angus doesn’t. The petitions he’s put out about Tesla, Elon Musk, and how Canada should respond to tariffs, on top of his GREAT speech denouncing the U.S. government is EXACTLY what we need right now.

If Singh dropped as NDP leader and Charlie Angus took his place, I would vote for the NDP without so much as flinching and do whatever I could in my heavily Conservative district to get whoever the NDP candidate is in parliament. This man is incredible and it’s a damn shame he’s not party leader.

Are you even Canadian? That’s a pretty dense comment to make.

Indigenous people are much more susceptible to homelessness and addictions due to generational trauma that the government has inflicted on them and their communities through residential schools and the Sixties Scoop.

So yeah, sorry for being racist by… reads notes… acknowledging issues that negatively affect other races.

That’s a shame. Genuinely.

For all the crap I give Danielle Smith, and rightfully so, I really enjoyed the idea she pitched of Alberta becoming a hub for the manufacturing of Hydrogen EV vehicles. It’s the exact type of diversification we need in this economy.

Alberta workers are scared about moving from the oil rigs and sands because the work culture here is a lot more about working with your hands rather than working with your brain. That’s not to say Alberta workers are stupid of course, just that a lot of the workers here prefer blue-collar jobs over white-collar ones since that’s what they’re most familiar with.

Hydrogen vehicle production here in Alberta sounded so fucking perfect. It not only diversifies our provincial economy, but also diversifies the EV market by providing options that aren’t Lithium-Ion, which comes with a myriad of concerns for a number of people. In my opinion, this move could have been revolutionary.

I know this doesn’t involve vehicle manufacturing, but regardless this is a bad look for the idea overall.
