Why can’t we just use banking websites? You don’t need an app ecosystem for that. They just need to build a responsive website that will work on a computer or phone. If you have bank to bank transfer (like e-transfer in Canada) that can be done from the mobile website as well.
Payment like NFC payment is a different story. I suspect its unlikely we ever see that.
It would be great if it did have “weeooo weeooo” to drown out the propeller noises 😂
Honestly this doesn’t seem too bad. It sucks that electric busses were delayed, but its honestly better for the environment if people are riding a diesel bus instead of driving. If this means busses will be available where other busses are out of commission, it will improve reliability and give more people confidence in OC Transpo.
Yeah, honestly I am not really opposed to this idea. In a busy environment like downtown having less things to focus on while you’re driving makes it so much safer for everyone.
When I lived in Spain you weren’t allowed to turn right on red and most turns were controlled with a light within cities. Made driving so much easier and less stressful since I usually only had to focus on looking in one direction when I was turning.
This is pretty awesome! I guess unless you’re regularly travelling on STO as well there really isn’t a point to buy a bus pass now?
Totally agree we should invest more in trains and other forms of transit. Especially in areas where it would relieve a lot of car traffic like the Toronto to Montreal route. I dream off a day where I could ditch my car and be easily able to travel between those cities without breaking the bank, or being stuck with freight rail traffic. Honestly I think I would settle for VIA having more priority on the rails. The travel time isn’t that bad when compared to driving. The costs and the uncontrolled delays are really killer.
With that being said, I think Canada would be better off aligning their tariffs on China with the EU. I don’t think we need to cut of China completely but we would be better off aligning with the EU and keeping our options open to have a diverse set of trading partners instead of relying on one big partner like we do now with the US.
Its a stretch but I’m hoping with a liberal minority there is chance the NDP could advocate for electoral reform as negotiation point. Its a stretch but I feel like its the only way it could happen.
I’m worried our multiple parties could disappear after this election :( I understand why it happened but I hope the trend doesn’t continue to a two party liberal vs conservative system in Canada
How long does it take you to walk to a grocery store? I’m looking on google maps and it only really looks like there are the stores on bank st you could walk to and it honestly doesn’t seem like that great of walk. Like most of the neighbourhood is > 30 minute walk to them. Are there any other stores nearby you can walk to < 20 minutes?
I’m not sure if you can do it without authenticating on the remote. Have you seen sshuttle? Maybe you can run that on the remote to connect to the local machine. If the issue is that the remote “can’t see” the local machine to ssh into it then you could try something like reverse tunnel the ssh port to the remote, and then use sshuttle to connect to the local port that is forwarding traffic.
Do you mean sending patches by email? The author for the article also despises them as suggest alternatives for collaboration where you do “pull request” by people giving you a link to their repo and branch name (like literally asking you to try pulling from their git repo), or sending git bundle files which get around a lot of the problems of trying to send patch files around.
It’s unfortunate that sweden decided to lock 2FA behind proprietary smartphone apps.
For every country its going to be a different story. I think instead of trying to build an app ecosystem for things like bank apps on linux it would be easier for citizens of those countries to convince the government / banks to allow other 2FA methods like OTPs that can work on any a device using an OTP client. That would honestly benefit more people as whole since they wouldn’t be lock down to just Android/Apple or even owning a smartphone. They could do all their important government/finance stuff just with a computer.
