Libs, NDP and Green just need to unify for this election cycle. It's a strategic move they have to make. Can they do that, run as a single ballot?

Yes! Every Canadian municipality and provincial department should do this.

And on the way down, connected rich people have already shorted select industries' stocks, then will buy in bigtime after the crash to profit on the long way back up.

The rich get richer.

EDIT: the way back up won't be so long, as theh recovery will be aided by big bailouts (or bail-ins) at the taxpayers' expense. So we'll get screwed not one, not two, but THREE ways.

And the ratchet is successfully set one rung higher than it ever should have reached.

Until they do it again!

No freedom of religion without freedom FROM religion.

Resist a theocratic state.

Surprise surprise, the guy who was already infamous for stiffing his contractors, and then rally venues, might not pay up?! Who'd have thought?

Money up-front, or no deal with the orange menace.

Not a security risk at all, nosiree /s

If it doesn't 100% look like a Heil, and isn't repeated twice, after buying one's way into influence over a blatantly xenophobic candidate with a record of racism, sure.

I'll look into those, thank you!

(I currently set up my APL keymap via .Xmodmap with xmodmap, and setxkbmap for X11 terms, and with 'loadkeys' for console.)

Great info! I will try it when I decide to trial-run Wayland again, thank you!

(Some things I had read online suggested that Wayland did not use the x11 configs. If it does, that's good news.)

As someone who hasn't yet moved to Wayland, how good is support these days for alternate keyboard mappings? Is this something that each individual window manager needs to support, or does Wayland itself manage them?

Not just "international keyboard" support, but truly arbitrary keyboard/symbol mapping support. I muddle in programming with APL, which needs its own key mapping with Unicode symbols.

I recall KDE had its own mapping support which used some system APL layout but I'd rather not have key mappings tied to a specific window manager.

archive.is or their mirrors should also be used, as archive.org has proven vulnerable to takedown requests from corporations, wouldn't surprise me if they could be coerced into removing their data by USA govt request as well.

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day

Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.

Yeah... and unless you really, really enjoy configuring your own stuff and tinkering, a hosting service is much easier.

I happen to be insane, and enjoy that stuff. And it's not a business server (well, not anything big anyway).

If you're in Canada, Rogers (nee Shaw) and Telus small business plans both offer 'static' IPs (Shaw's residential plans aren't officially static, but they rarely change on a residential modem unless you are always switching out hardware). Telus business fibre 1GB plan offers up to 5 static IP addresses.

Then you must purchase one or more domain names and assign them to your IP address... depending on your business's needs even small consumer hardware can run a web server just fine.

Have a backup strategy though! And be sure you actually test the restore procedure on a periodic basis!

Linux backups can range from home-grown 'rsync' scripts and hot-plug external drives as backup, to more fancy 'Time Machine' like backup things (I honestly forget what's out there for Linux right now, I have my own rsync scripts to back up to external drives).

My home server is my own, but if money is on the line you want proper backup and failover even. Most Linux distributions are easy-peasy to set up with Apache or nginx web servers but if you've never set those up you'll need to study lots of tutorials and manual pages.

If you don't want to tend to security and backups yourself though, it might be best to find a hosting service.

Let me guess, a few of those "domains" will be built by companies he and his kids partner with? Sounds lucrative for him, how convenient.

Hasn't Jared Kushner had an eye on that land for a while?

Can we start with Sam Altman please? Hah.

I was amazed at first with ChatGPT, outpainting, and the early stuff; it was fun making 'paintings' and playing with other imagery, but the main uses are taking such a dark turn I really think we're going to regret this technology's existence.

With modern face recognition, ... If you want anonymity then don't include your face (or signature) in the video.

Duh, good point :)

Web of trust -- it's always been so hard to make easy enough to use for the non-technical public, sadly... but yeah that might be the only/best way to really give attestation.

This is scary indeed. We may someday soon need something like an active tattoo on our face, or a badge on clothing, with a pattern that changes each second based on a private/public key pair, so videos can't be easily faked of our own likeness with a valid visual signature.

That could actually work -- a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature. It could be validated to certify the video of a person was genuine.

Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(
