Well they have become less satirical than reality so...now I don't know what to do.

The 13th Warrior

Common Side Effects was stunning. Absolutely recommend.

Former prime minister Current chair of the IDU (an alliance of right wing political parties around the globe designed to push right wing ideology in as many countries as possible) Stephen Harper called on Canada to renew its ties with India, arguing in a speech on Saturday that the country is an indispensable partner in a volatile world.

I've got a decade old Sony ereader that's still good as new. Battery lasts a couple weeks too, I love it.

Haha yep inviting the wrong person was absolutely the big issue. I think I read something about it being an unofficial fork out of Israel though, but everything moves so fast these days it's hard to keep up

Specially with all the recent scrutiny on it in the news, hackers are figuring out ways in.

I'm assuming you mean the US gov't debacle? It's already been proven that they were using a fork, not the genuine Signal app. The fork was built with a back door. As far as I'm aware (and please correct me if I'm wrong) Signal has yet to be hacked and is currently among the most secure options.

It's almost like the US gov't might benefit from convincing its citizens that the fully encrypted messaging app is dangerous so they should just go back to Whatsapp and Telegram.

Unfortunately not. That's like saying "A burglar put a spycam in my house once. I simply said no and he removed it. So hopefully it stays that way". It's there, you just can't see it now.

I would watch the hell out of that haha. American Dad has a joke about the audio book of Plato's Republic read by Gilbert Gottfried.

There's no point in saying technically, he is the King of Canada. That being said the Crown is mostly symbolic like the UK, however symbols can be very powerful. By inviting the King to open Parliament, Carney is symbolically reminding Trump that Canada is much bigger than just one country. Likewise the Chiefs are reminding Canada, specifically Alberta, that the Crown holds the treaties, not Canada.

Basically this is like getting picked on in school then bringing your big brother to lunch. He doesn't have to do anything, the point is to remind your bullies you have some pretty strong support, and they should think again about continuing to bully you.

First, I made 'Album Artists' my landing page. 'Artists" includes everyone tagged in the metadata, 'Album Artists' only contains the primary artists. For me, the difference is 350 album artists vs 1412 artists.

I run everything through Picard when I add something to the server. Sometimes I have to change the metadata (for example I hate having an entry for '&' like Elton John & Hans Zimmer and I'll change it so the album is included in both Elton John and Hans Zimmer but theres no entry for them together). But generally it's pretty simple and smooth.

Looks like this:

The rights and freedoms of Americans has always been a gentleman's agreement, and they've run out of gentlemen.

Right. Every time Poilievre or Smith screamed "Trudeau bad!" It was clearly meant towards Trudeau alone and didn't refer to the Liberal Party as a whole. This headline is only misleading to pedants, the rest of us understand fully and I think you do too.

Kagi has a lens that only searches the Fediverse.

Absolutely. I never imagined I'd pay for search but Kagi is leaps and bounds better than other search engines. I decided to pay when I realized how much I search every day after getting the free trial. Went through 100 searches in four days. If I search that much, paying for an engine that has no ads, uses useful lenses, and lets me block results from sites like Facebook was a no-brainer.

This is what I don't get from a business standpoint. Why would anyone buy an AI read audiobook for $20 when they can get the exact same audio by buying the ebook for $0.99 and running it through AI?

I want to live in the timeline where he loses the by-election and has to pay back the months he stayed living there.

Of course they don't click anything. Google search has just become a front-end for Gemini, the answer is "served" up right at the top and most people will just take that for Gospel.

I agree, this was always the plan. I think they had to kick it off sooner than they wanted. Ducks were almost in a row, one more term would have had it all mapped proper, and now they have to rush which makes them look stupid.

Max Brooks, Mel is his father. I'd expect a Mel Brooks-written Zombie guide would be a bit...different...
