This isn't Debian's fault! It's purely an Ubuntu/Canonical problem. Debian's only apt by default, no snap.

Meh, it's just internal politics. Whether or not it's rust makes no difference to the layperson whatsoever. I'm in favour of rust but don't blow it out of proportion.

Rust is already as fast as C and memory safe. The reasons people don't want it in the kernel basically amount to being a boomer that doesn't like new things for immaterial reasons. Rust has already proven itself capable in mission-critical applications like drivers.

Linux has support for almost any architecture you can think of. Remember, free software can be compiled from source, which makes it comparatively easy to port to different architectures.

Shopping "hub"? No. But online Canadian shops still exist, they are separated into niches though.

You can either choose the monopoly controlling the entire market and abusing their staff, or smaller companies that you have to spend an extra minute searching up.

On China, most of your stuff is coming from China anyways. This is a neutral fact, not good or bad. Just a truth of globalization. China can manufacture things cheaply, so almost everything is manufactured there in 2025.

What the hell do they mean "shaky financial future"? Canada Post is a public service. Do roads have a "shaky financial future" as well? We really need to get past this capitalist delusion that government services should somehow make money when they're there to serve the public.

Because it's not free software. It's proprietary, so you're still putting everything into the hands of some random corporation. Software freedom is important, and important to this community specifically.

I only know this because of SAO Abridged.

How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real

Let the games begin

Of course women experience oppression. I'm nonbinary and outwardly feminine and I get a fraction of that derision directed towards me as well. But because I won't paint that as some inherent failing of all people born with XY chromosomes and point to social issues instead, gender essentialists get mad, and gender essentialists really engage with these posts.

It's literally engagement bait gender wars bullshit. This conversation is fucking useless until you start asking WHY and none of them do, they just start throwing bullshit around about their own personal anecdotes or start screaming "NO THATS NOT TRUE" "YES IT IS"

It's a useless never ending "debate". Man vs. Bear should've taught us that. Mods should've locked the post or deleted it already IMO.

Agreed. Notably, Bluesky doesn't require an account to read posts.

Really wish Phoronix would stop using AI slop for their articles.

Hey, there are NDP ridings here too!

Sure, so instead you would rather he knows... Absolutely nothing? Genius plan there, bud

Are we really still the crazy ones when Microsoft wants to keep a log of screenshots of your desktop?

I say that, because most mainstream media is unreliable as hell nowadays. CBC is still alright, though, which is why PP wants to get rid of it.

American mainstream media is 100% bought out and in on MAGA narratives.

There's lots of credible people covering current events on YouTube. It's still important to know their biases but I believe I get a more complete story from them rather than just the media spin.

It's a bad idea to mess with Teslas. They are recording at all times, circularly, and if you fuck with it the owner will be able to get video.
