Canada@lemmy.ca•‘We’ve been too dependent on the United States’: Canadian province of B.C.’s premier headed to China in hopes of expanding trade
81·7 hours agoCause most of them have moved their manufacturing to China and people live on and care about real goods, and a lot of those (or the inputs to manufacture) come from China. We can do all the middle power trade we want, so long as the real goods come from China, we’re swapping one markup centre for another.
I tried to buy window cleaning tools (Unger) from a middle power the other day after reading they’re supposed to be made in Germany. Package arrived and nope - Made in China. Unger only collected margin in Germany.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich bridge to google photos shared albumsEnglish
4·23 hours agoCoud probably be done. Find publicly shared Immich albums -> sync to Google Photos -> share publicly -> write the public Google Photos URL to the metadata of the Immich album.
Another could be an insulated public facing Immich instance that gets publicly shared albums pushed to it, the same way as with the other scheme. No reverse access to the private Immich instance. Then if that gets hacked, only those photos leak, attacker can’t get their hands on other server data. Assuming it’s really well isolated. A public VPS would probably be best for this.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich bridge to google photos shared albumsEnglish
5·23 hours agoIt is but it requires public internet access to the Immich instance, or everyone involved being on our VPN. Reusing someone else’s publicly facing service to share photos from a private Immich instance is a clever workaround.
Time to setup an arr stack.

That’s interesting. I didn’t know they’re different. Would’ve assumed they’re the same.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This is Doug Ford, one of the most powerful politician in Canada 🇨🇦. He banned speed cameras. He banned bike lanes. Now, he is increasing speed limitsEnglish
5·2 days agoLook at the charismatic chucklefuck he is. He also has a superpower - he’s a politician who can say sorry. He does some corruption or outright stupid shit for a few billion, says sorry, dials it back and we’re back in love with him. It’s the Onterrible way.

3·2 days agoThis is what I was getting at in my comment. There’s got to be an alternative that addresses those material conditions to durably prevent a right resurgence.

World News@lemmy.world•German lawyers: Ban on far-right AfD 'likely successful'English
22·2 days agoI’m suggesting that just enforcing the law without providing an aternative (for AfD), at this point in time, is likely to make them (the figures that formed the AfD) more popular, along with their new party they’ll inevitably form. I doubt Germany would round all of them up and throw them in jail. I think the time to ban the AfD was when there were significantly fewer people on their bandwagon. The other comment under mine says AfD voters aren’t too fervent supporters, so perhaps it won’t go the way I think it would. But that’s not my bet. (What I think would happen isn’t what I hope btw.)
When I say alternative I don’t mean another deporters party but with nicer messaging. That clearly doesn’t work. I mean an alternative that gives people real improvements by counteracting the austerity policies of the past for example.

22·2 days agoAre you argumenting that partys are above laws and constitution?
It depends on how popular it is. If it’s 5% of the pop- def not. If it’s 30%, probably not. If it’s 60% then the laws and constitution might need amendment.
But that’s besides my point. If you rely on forcing a third of Germany to make another party to represent it, you might not like what the new party’s popularity would be.

98·3 days agoI wonder what people think voters whose grievances are represented by the AfD would do when the party is banned. Probably they’d have their minds changed and quietly vote status quo.
