    Governor signs bills creating electric vehicle charging station network across Wisconsin

    The new laws free up nearly $80 million in federal construction aid and make it easier for gas stations, convenience stores, and other businesses to operate electric vehicle charging stations.

  • Not quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a "boost" by the community when viewing from mastodon.

  • Good stuff! Thanks for all that you guys do for Lemmy and the open internet

  • How are y'all today?

  • Doing good! Really happy with where I'm at in life currently.

  • I don't go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that's it.

  • Absolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.

    What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?

    We can fund these colleges, we just haven't been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you're at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.

  • I have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.

  • Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.

  • I know they had a word block list but I'm unsure if it's still around.

  • I just realized FF didn't have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!

  • They go to nearly everyone.

    If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances' admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.

    It's kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.

  • I got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it's a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.

  • Thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now.
