Yeah agreed. Its getting to the point where the word distraction alone annoys me

I’m doing my part! Laid off/unemployed since January 🥲

I so wish I could just take Via anywhere in the country. It’s expensive and slow but it is so infinitely a better experience. I would (and have) always choose a 4-5 hour train ride over a one hour flight

Really hoping the HSR project is completed in a reasonable time

Are there many people actually saying it’s theft? I guess maybe I’m in a bubble but I’ve never met anyone who thinks using an adblocker is stealing

Nah, you guys should form your own country though. We’d prefer to not adopt your MAGAs and even your left (American left) wing is concerning

I switched away from NameCheap to a Canadian domain registrar after swearing off American software where possible. They’ve been great. It’s a smaller company so I’ve gotten really quick responses on tickets I’ve put in

Sorry, as an executive of a major company I may have misheard you but did you say “replace half the team with an LLM and then make those remaining pick up the slack”?

For the Australianisation of Canada, I’d take it. Nigara Falls is sort of a Vegas wannabe tourist trap anyway outside of the falls themselves

Fuckin’ right 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

If you have any problems with it then take it up with the geese

It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-( - Linux Torvalds (1991)

I’ve never heard of this “Linux” thing but it sounds like it doesn’t support any of them 😤

I feel like it should fall under treason

I’m a bit OOTL since I mostly just use usenet and TL but what allegations?

That actually makes it more confusing. Unless you’re on a rolling release distro , each major version will have a different repository of software - newer Linux Distro releases having newer programs.

An example that’s more visible from the standard user POV would be an Ubuntu user seeing GNOME being updated up a major feature release between Ubuntu versions. Without updating to the new version of Ubuntu, they’d only see maintenance patches and minor feature additions rather than anything gamechanging

That’s just Gary

AppImages are great! It reminds me a lot of how software is packaged on MacOS and I think it hits that perfect trifecta of powerful, simple, and easy to use

I remember being told that and thinking it was dumb at the time since why wouldn’t I want to be an adult? I still sort of think its dumb since being an adult is cool but I’d also definitely tell a kid the same thing because it also very much sucks lol

I think they still make these but they’re just hidden in the toy aisle of the dollar store

Haha I grew up on the border of Ontario and Québec (ON side) and we’d make trips over to the small town dep on the Quebec side to buy alcohol when we were 18.

Also re: Mac’s Milk, I’m still mad its not called that anymore

Move them hippies north

I mean, I’m fine with that; I wouldn’t mind more more hippies in Canada
