Amazon had already listed import and duty fee way before this. These fees are just now a lot larger and more “visible”.

Tarrifs = Tax

The tax is paid by local business and then passed onto consumers in higher cost of goods.

FYI, generally when you buy items on Amazon and the goods are not locally stocked in Amazon’s warehouse for same day delivery, Amazon acts like a broker for you helping facilitate the import of goods. The import fee is then passed onto you as the “importer” directly. Things that Amazon stocks locally but imported themselves will just increase in price and a label may not show the import fee paid for by amazon at the time they imported the product or item.

Now imagine all the other families that have been traumatized by ICE. Are people going to stand up and support one another?

This is not good, it’s the modern day equivalent of parading people down the street so the public can throw rocks or cabbage at them.

What about search engines? These provide links as well.

And what about this link from OP, should Lemmy world have to pay for OP posting a link to this news article.

Could you imagine if a telephone book had to pay you or your business to list your business phone number.

Just a FYI, Canadian news agencies wanted social platforms like Facebook to pay for linking to their news articles.

The argument from Canadian news agencies was that by social platforms sharing links on their social platforms, social platforms were directly increasing their sites user traffic and benefiting with increased ad revenue. News agencies argued this decreased their own ad revenue by decrease site traffic.

Most people know a link directs a individual to the original site of the content. Since Facebook and other social sites did not want to pay a link fee they simply had chosen to remove links to Canadian news sites (as requested)

By removing links to these sites on social platforms like Facebook, news agencies decreased their surface area of exposure. Thus news agencies decreased the amount of individuals being directed to their site and news articles.

Simply put, Canadian news agencies wanted their cake and eat it too.

Now search engine like Google search for example were exempt from this mandate because they only link to the article or external site. The irony in this is real.

Obviously sites like Facebook “condensing a news article automatically” and presenting it on their own site, without a user needing to navigate away from Facebook as a example is a different issue and a valid point.

Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.

Also please note, some of the “Canadian news agencies” that were lobbying for this to pass are actually USA owned, and masquerading as Canadian.

You just gave a detailed description of my life.

I have some duplicate consoles where they are modded different ways just for the fun of it. Some of these consoles I have never actually played a game on for more then 20min.

Maricopa County Attorney rules there is enough evidence to lay charges on the victim. However the victim had not show up to their scheduled court date, allegedly detained by ICE in the lobby of the court, on the day of the hearing. /s

ICE is also secretly invited to the dinner. The dinner is also McNuggets

Homeless is illegal in the states

This would be perfect if I could fit 24th NVMe devices in this, but not looking to pay more then ~300-350 CAD in a device with no hdd/ssd

Maybe location tracking from Google maps giving a date when the car was driven and where, with a simple excel of distances calculated and tallied up for a given month or two.

If the owner had a photo of the dash with the distance reported a few months earlier start there to see if the report distance matches what the excel table totals up.

Quillpad might be of interest.

It also syncs with nextcloud

You can integrate OwnTracks with NextCloud. OwnCloud app sends data to your NextCloud instance and you can see location of friends.

This ones a little more challenging to setup, be aware you need to selfhost with a public address. Or personal VPN to your home with Tailscale or Wireguard.

HomeAssistant, it has a “companion app” for android and ios. Once the app is installed on everyone’s phone you can see real time the device location.

More info on history and path tracking as well.

Depending on your selfhosting skills you can either choose to put your homeassistant behind your own website, or you can use the integrated cloud service provided by NabuCasa for a small monthly fee.

Serious question, are these emails going straight to peoples personal inboxes, or through a secure government mailbox? How would you know the email is not spam or phishing if it goes straight to your personal email.

Also, how easy would it be to mass email all politicians and government staff these same emails and see the shit hit the fan?
