Stats Canada didn’t have those figures in the data I was looking at, but yes, that’s important! There are so many other important metrics, too: affordability vs wages; commute times (then vs. now), etc.
If only one metric moved for the better, are we really better off?
Depends on your perspective.
The lowest it’s been since 1990 is 4.5%, and that was a post-pandemic bounce-back in 2022. It’s been over 10%, but the average is 6.6%. We are only slightly above that, which is amazing considering we are under direct attack from the States.
I would expect those number to drop as Canada severs ties with the US and builds a more robust internal economy.
And remember, every time you “buy Canadian” over something that would have come from the States, you are adding jobs to our workforce while taking them away (hopefully) from the American labour pool 🤗
Interesting, it’s slightly slower for me through the web interface both with a direct connect to my network, or when proxied through the internet. Still, we’re talking seconds here, and the results are so accurate!
Immich has effectively replaced the (expensive) Windows software Excire Foto, which I was using for on-device contextual search because Synology Photos search just sucks. Excire isn’t ideal to run from Linux because it has to be done through a VM, so I’m happy to self-host Immich and be able to use it even while out of the house.
OK, indexing finished some time yesterday and I ran a few searches like:
“Child wearing glasses indoors”
“Cars with no wheels”
“Woman riding a bike”
Results come up (immich on android) in three seconds.
But the quality of the results do appear to be considerably better with ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli compared to the default model.
I’m pretty happy. 👍
Consistent with dementia and incompetence.
It’s been fun replacing American goods and services with Canadian and not-American alternatives.
In many cases, you end up with better products anyway.
Speed doesn’t get you around faster in urban areas, especially not in residential neighbourhoods, because stop signs and traffic lights (when not ignored) extend your trip more.
That’s why as a cyclist, I’m often catching up to cars going 3-4x faster than me. And when cars are queued up at stops, I’m often passing those “fast” cars, too.
But 30km/h is less likely to kill people, which is a good thing.
Religious texts, such as the Bible, will be allowed on the shelves.
… as most of the books Nicolaides said he was looking to take off shelves deal with 2SLGBTQ+ subject matter.
Have the Satanic Temple republish those books so they remain accessible.
Meh. He’ll change his mind at least 15 more times before Aug 1st.
Our local news outlet is FULL of sponsored articles from casinos. It’s gross and turns me off from their platform.
If you’ve got to use ads and sponsored posts, at least feature wholesome local businesses.
Stop pissing in the wind.
Frustratingly, this is how corporations do business just about anywhere in the world. Why bother subsidizing at all? Either make it publicly owned or tell them that they are on their own. Viable businesses will succeed without handouts.
Until induced demand kicks in, then you’ll be with the other idle motorists for an extra 4 minutes! LOL
Just like provinces and municipalities.
“No money for education, healthcare, or bike lanes.”
Also, “We’re spending countless tens of millions to widen a road so that people can sit in traffic for 30 seconds less than before while making it less safe for all other road users! Vote for us again, plz.”
Search speed was never an issue before, and neither was quality. My biggest gripe is not being able to sort search by date! If I had that, it would be perfect.
But I’ll update you once it’s done (at 97,000 to go… )
You’d be permanently destroying that land, and any waterways in the area, so is that really a solution?
And if the land isn’t already fertile, you need to set up alternative land to grow the food for those cows… then import the water…
This is not sustainable, and should be discouraged.
I decided on the ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli model, so switched to that last night. I also needed to update my server to the latest version of Immich, so a new smart search job was run late last night.
Out of 140,000+ photos/videos, it’s down to 104,000 and I have it set to 6 concurrent tasks.
I don’t mind it processing for 24h. I believe when I first set immich up, the smart search took many days. I’m still able to use the app and website to navigate and search without any delays.
That’s like saying “it’s more ethical if Nazis killed only adults, because they take up more space than kids in a gas chamber.”
The needless suffering and killing of any animal is horrifically unethical, and if we can, we should actively stop participating in it.
There are a ton of mental gymnastics used to justify the consumption of animals. Almost none apply to modern civilization.
You can never make animal production green. The amount of clear-cutting needed for beef as an example would blow your mind. Then you factor in the ground, air, and water pollution from these factory farms, and you’ve just fucked up into entire regions, just to sustain a food source that isn’t even needed.
Yes, they do. And NIMBYs hate them more than automated traffic cameras.
They have demonstrated to be effective in all the Canadian municipalities who have implemented them. Do you have evidence to suggest otherwise?
The problem is people don’t like getting caught for breaking the law, so they either vandalize or petition against these cameras.
Alternatively, they could drive the posted speed limit and not run red lights. 💁♂️
