@RachelThornSub @rival_elf Yeah, this seems pretty clear: "This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born before December 15, 2025 outside Canada to a Canadian parent This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes." The act also specifies: "A person who would not become a citizen under one of the paragraphs of subsection (1) for the sole reason that their parent or both their parent and their parent’s parent died before the coming into force of An Act to amend the Citizenship Act (2025) is a citizen under that paragraph if that parent — or both that parent and that parent’s parent — but for their death, would have been a citizen as a result of the coming into force of that Act." If I'm reading that right, it still applies if your parent and grandparent are dead but your great-grandparent was a Canadian citizen.

@be@floss.social @jonny@neuromatch.social being an academic, I read VC as vice-chancellor before realising you probably meant venture capitalist, but honestly, both of those fit equally well here.

@schratze there are Little Ravens on King Island, which is part of the state of Tasmania, so it could be that. Maybe we get stragglers too, I don't know. Yeah, mostly ravens are just the bigger species, but even that isn't consistent. For the Australian species it seems to be more about whether they have hackles (ravens) or not (crows).

@david_megginson@mstdn.ca @matt@oslo.town Huh, I noticed the resemblance to Vauxhall and thought it was odd, but was completely unaware of the etymology!

@futurebird@sauropods.win @cobalt123@beige.party why would it be a battle? I just want to hear you both infodump.

@carnage4life@mas.to "for anything that can be tested empirically" is the key here. You still have to design the tests. In some cases that's trivial, but often it's not.

@kims@mas.to it works with fucking DuckDuckGo too

@robtherunt @firstdogonthemoon At least Kessler syndrome will save us from that one.

@NickSchwanck I mean, I share your outrage, but having lived in the UK when Blair was PM I'm far from surprised.
