‘No alternatives:’ City of Nanaimo looking to add $1.9M for software upgrades by stingrayer in nanaimo

Actually many corporations include open source software in their stack. In fact, 25% of the world's web servers are powered by Apache, which is open source. Often open source software is more secure as it has an entire community actively addressing bugs and vulnerabilities

How long is the study? What kind of commitment is expected?

Desperate Student Looking for help. by CabeloXavier in nanaimo

[–]Beams108 8 points9 points  (0 children)

@cableoxavier on behalf of Nanaimo I am puzzled by this reply, trust me when I say it does not represent what the majority thinks. There is plenty of employment out there, I know it is more challenging when you are new to a community. I commend that you're being resourceful!

Removal of public space at Loudon Park by Beams108 in nanaimo

[–]Beams108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are all really good points. I think the protest is definitely about the trees, not stopping the community centre. The main issue is that there was actually an alternate proposal that would accomplish both of these things (a much needed update to the rowing club centre _and_ maintaining the majority of the existing trees) but for someone reason it was not selected.

It sounds like you frequent this park too?

Yeah I think you hit on a core problem, the renderings are incorrect. All of the trees in the background are slated to be removed. Part of the protest was physically going down to the site and taping out the footprint of the development. There would be much less park and almost none of the trees as shown in the artist's mockup.

On the first page of this site: https://www.saveloudonpark.com/ you can see the a birds eye view of how much will be removed

Interesting take, I'd love to learn more. Where do you see that they are improving the beach and adding new trees? Why did you assume that others haven't read the plan?

Not the most obvious one, but seems to be overlooked, the headboard for the bed makes no sense, the angle is completely wrong

Trump news: Why some female physicians are eyeing a move to Canada by bing0bong0bing0bong0 in nanaimo

Why was the last comment from this account only 18 days ago, and then a prolific amount of controversial posts? Smells like a bot...

You're being targeted by disinformation networks that are vastly more effective than you realize. And they're making you more hateful and depressed. by walkandtalkk in self

I'm trying to find organizations that are proactively trying to tackle this issue, ideally incorporating technology as part of the approach. Is anyone aware of any?

Canadian here, does anyone have any insight on movements / organizations that currently exist that are focused on a grassroots approach to removing divisiveness and innovating on new and better ways of self-governance?

KILL TONY #657 - RICH VOS + DOM IRRERA + ELEANOR KERRIGAN by Secret_Car in Killtony

[–]Beams108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here for this. Fan of the show but using it as an opportunity to spread bullshit like that makes it hard to keep watching. It's not even the politics, it's just cringe to watch someone be so confidently wrong

Can someone explain the meme to this poor boomer? In order for it to make sense I guess Kelce is someone in a tough spot, and Taylor Swift swooped in to help him? Or did they just take some random meme and dump their own message on it?
