I mean, as much as i hate the irvings, people are definitely asking for more domestic defense and less reliance on america for protection

Why lay new lines? Just re-nationalize CN

It's a publicly traded company

We went from it being owned by all canadians, to being owned by a (comparatively) small number of shareholders

Second amendment... Your founding fathers already wrote the instructions for you. Just do it.

But my chromecast transports digital signal to my DAC. Probably better quality than the DAC in the bluetooth speaker

I hate that i can no longer trust what comes out of my phone camera to be an accurate representation of reality. I turn off all the AI enhancement stuff but who knows what kind of fuckery is baked into the firmware.

NO, i dont want fake AI depth of field. NO, i do not want fake AI "makeup" fixing my ugly face. NO, i do not want AI deleting tourists in the background of my picture of the eiffel tower.

NO, i do not want AI curating my memories and reality. Sure, my vacation photos have shitty lighting and bad composition. But they are MY photos and MY memories of something i experienced personally. AI should not be "fixing" that for me

i bought a roomba 2 years ago. It wasnt the cheapest, but it was the only company that isnt some cheap, chinese knockoff brand. American designed and operated still had some advantages for me at the time.

This was before USA plunged into facism though. Now i'm not sure what i would buy.

I can actually respect trump for thism At least he has the self awareness to realize he's too dumb/incapable to drive

My parents are old AF, hard of hearing, bad eyesight, and confidently driving every day. I keep telling them to stop driving

Drag queen reading a story to kids: wont someone PLEASE think of the children!!!

Shutting down school lunches and food supports for children: this is fine....

Lol!!! Canadian rickroll!

well mr. trump had done it,
republicans had won it,
with poilievre clucking all the while,
trudeau's resignation made us smile,
wayne's legacy lay unconscious on the bar-room tile.

we're talkin' trade war!
from maine to manitoba,
talkin' trade war!
uranium and canola

edit: i ran out of ideas. was hoping someone could finish the last verse

i mean... the first rant was pandering to canadians for advertising purposes....

but this was self-made and self-published... the intent and sentiment seems pretty sincere to me

Pandering to who?

When you say "unrecoverable" do you mean the graphical desktop didnt load? Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?

A lot of newbies assume that not getting to a graphical session means the OS is dead and nuke it and start over. When in a lot of cases, you can just switch to the command line and troubleshoot or roll back the broken drivers

Just for future reference if you try linux again

They had two things going for them... Decent linux support and non-shitty DRM ink/toner

I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.

I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.

I voted trudeau that one time because he said it would be the last FPTP election....

Read the post above mine... "Privacy respecting options" are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up

My eyes are perfect, but my teeth are fucked....

Does this process work in reverse?

This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against

Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)

People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that's OK (for now)
