Holy shit, this is actually a pretty bad list. A lot of classics and actually good modern manga here. Unfortunate - mangadex was great while it lasted. Pirate sites are hydra, if course, but mangadex was actually usable unlike a lit of other sites.

Python is the tradeoff between ease of development and performance. If you do things the "normal" way (aka no cython) your programs will oftentimes severely underperform when compared with something written in a relatively lower-level language. Even Java outperforms it.

But, you can shit out a program in no time. Or so I've been told. Python is pretty far from the things I'm interested in programming so I haven't touched it much.

And what have the American people done with their guns in the face of tyranny exactly?

It's just a LARP.

Fuck cars too, buddy

Motorcycles and scooters perpetuate expensive car infrastructure that makes life worse for everyone. The future is public transport and, as far as micro mobility goes, pedal assist ebikes.

Middle class is a made up term meant to separate the working class. It doesn't mean anything. The definition of middle class is vibes alone because it's a term that means nothing used by pandering politicians.

I agree that systemic solutions should be the focus but unfortunately the Liberals are incapable of challenging the system.

Yep. You have to at least vaguely be engaged in the politics of the internet (not to be confused with politics on the internet) to use these smaller platforms at all.

The average social media user just doesn't care. They want things to work from their perspective, and it doesn't matter how much data they give up, or privacy they lose, or any other thing that might be a negative to us that engage in the internet outside of "apps".

IMO, this is a pro and not a con of federated social media, and means that your discussions will be smarter on average. Sometimes, I feel sad that the days of free (as in freedom) internet is seemingly gone, before I remember that you just have to look a little deeper, and it's definitely still there.

...Then stop posting on Reddit? I thought the whole point of us moving here was to get out of the control of Reddit and their shareholders/corporate overlords

Albertan health care is actively being Americanized. Heard of Covenant Health?

Lmao. Desperate fucks.

Agree completely. Carney is a neoliberal and will not address this problem - I fear the next election people will be unhappy that their life still sucks due to late stage capitalism and vote in Cons out of some desire for change, and they will destroy our institutions like the Americans.

NDP need to step up with a real candidate that will challenge these systems of wealth extraction.

Steve Boots isn't a reaction channel, he mostly does structured political commentary. This is really just for short form format.

Neoliberalism is no bastion of hope. Neoliberalism only furthers the orphan crushing machine and frames it as something necessary. I simply want to get rid of the machine.

I reject this framing that involves using the right's buzzwords. It lets them control the narrative.

Everything's computer.

Linux isn't a product sold by a company. If they're still thinking that somebody else is responsible for how they experience their technology they will not have a good time with Linux. You have to be able to take responsibility for your machine, and in our society of learned helplessness, people would rather give up that responsibility for perceived convenience.

Drug epidemics are not about the drugs. They are about a lack of social supports 100% of the time.

1. A very considerable portion of goods are manufactured by China already, with tools that NOBODY ELSE has. Trump's "vision" for American manufacturing is a fantasy, we NEED China whether you like it or not.
2. The USA is a fascist country that is isolating itself. We are tying ourselves to a sinking ship if we continue in this fashion.

God fucking dammit. Wrong move Carney. We are either going to be attached to America or China, and America is threatening our sovereignty.

Zero funding? Buddy I want a straight wealth tax to fund making this country better
