Yeah probably something like that. During the conservative debates Aitchinson seemed very reasonable but whenever I see media reporting on him now, he seems less so.

Yup it would be great for wider adoption.

I hope it's well taken by citizens. Here in Canada a sector of the population gets up in arms when there are investments in cycling infrastructure. I know that kind of rhetoric exists in the UK but I'm not sure how much that applies in the rest of Europe.

Always been intrigued by this because apparently stickerbombing reduces chance of theft. But I can't imagine doing that to my bike, I love the clean aesthetic.

Front/rear lights I always find a bit concerning because the claims on brightness often isn't true so you don't know what you'll get. But also man, are lights expensive sometimes.

Yup came to comment this. The number is certainly more than half. Second line:

More than two in five (43%) of Canadians say they know very little or nothing about the topic, reports TECHNATION.

This is just self-reported.

Last time I tried to play on Dolphin it was quite buggy. Luckily I still have my copy though so I play it, but that isn't the case for all. But perhaps it runs better on PCSX2.

Sounds great, love taking my bike on the suburban train over in MTL but I realize that if a lot more people did it, it wouldn't be feasible. But what I'd like even more is somewhere safe to leave my bike near the station but perhaps it's not economically feasible.

For me personally it doesn't make a huge difference, the bar to greatly increase my willingness to pay starts at DRM free (i.e., being on GOG). But perhaps for others this will matter a lot more (especially people with children)!

Wow this is huge. I've been wanting this for years.

It seems like a not great deal for developers who will want to sell multiple copies to the same house though. We'll see how many disable the feature.

I think it was an option on reddit, but I dont think that feature exists on Lemmy

Yes this statement was quite frankly hilarious. I'm certain that the mafia has moved onto stealing bread for black-market redistribution. Or maybe they themselves can no longer afford to shop at Lowblaws.
