Am I a bot?

There are a lot of reasons to shit on the beef and dairy cartels in Canada, and they have definitely captured the market with regulation, but I don’t believe this is actually an example of that. I think this is a good safety regulation that actually is in the interest of average Canadians for once.

For any Canadians reading this, adding hormones or steroids to meat and dairy animals has always been prohibited here for all types of livestock.
Antibiotics are allowed on sick cows and pigs but they can’t be used for dairy or meat until they’ve been off the antibiotics for a period of time that is supposed to be long enough to flush it from their system. Chickens are too short lived and antibiotics are prohibited if they are to be sold for human consumption.
You know how A&W advertises that their beef is free of added hormones and steroids? Well that’s actually true for all meat sold in Canada. A&W is just the only one advertising it. Pretty clever as campaign, actually.
- Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it. 10 months ago:
People who don’t do any of those actions are not active users. Lurkers are not active by definition.
They shouldn’t be included in the active user count, because they’re not contributing any activity.
- Comment on The full source code for GTA 5 has been publicly leaked 10 months ago:
Is it possible to create a custom build system by compiling little bits at a time?
For example, you find the opengl code (or whatever gfx lib they’re using), strip it down it only displays a window and doesn’t reference any other gta code. Then it could be compiled without much trouble. Then another small system, say matrix transforms, can be isolated from the original code and integrated with the custom code to get it to compile.
This way you are creating your own build system ad hoc, and you find out what it needs as subsystems are added. Provided the code is decently decoupled and modular, it should be theoretically possible, even if it is still an absurd amount of work.
Or does this sound completely wacky to you?

With J sounds, of course.

There is no such thing as a “hard g” or a “soft g”. There is a g sound, and there is a j sound.
Yes, I will die on this hill.
- Comment on Lemmy, why are you wrong? 11 months ago:
but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
Haha stallman has been crying for thirty years about not getting enough credit compared to Torvalds, and here he is so graciously encouraging people to give him even more credit.

How much entertainment do you need while driving? Can’t you just plug your phone in for some music?
Do you really need a maps app built into your car when you already have one on your phone?
I just can’t see a reasonable use for an infotainment system that isn’t already taken care of perfectly by the device I already have.

The car experience
The car experience is driving.
We don’t need 6 different fuel efficiency visualizations and we sure as fuck don’t need games or videos in the car.
