Joining a defense initiative with someone who wants to take us over sounds like a bad idea.

But, if it was Europe asking, maybe.

Good. The while thing felt like a scam to begin with.

We can direct all we want and it won't do anything. Frankly, the voters in the USA made it clear they're not interested in working together with anyone. Trump supporters have been told for at least a decade how terrible he is, but they were more interested in listening to fox news. A whole group of absentee voters chose not to vote Harris over some vague ideas around Palestine, despite being told Trump would make it worse. Then there's everyone else who couldn't get off their ass to vote despite being told this was existential.

My heart does go out to the good people who did vote and are trying to change things. I'm on your side and I wish you well. But I'm sorry to say that there are a lot of people who deserve the shit that's coming. I'm tired of trying to "work together" through the first trump administration, through COVID, through the trucker convoy, through all the free speech bullshit, through all the reduction in women's rights and healthcare, through the reduction in trans rights, etc. Nazi punks fuck off!

Of course he does. He's never had a real job.

Why should Canadians pay to stop something that isn't happening? Didn't Lil PP just suggest Canada send the military to the border? So Canadian citizens are supposed to pay for the Canadian military to go to the Canadian border to harass Canadian citizens? Fuck that!

If Trump really thinks there's a problem he can address it on his side of the border.

Because the mouse is useless with only one button so you have to use the keyboard.

I wish I could upvote this 1000x

Since he's now officially part of the government this is actually censorship.

But I thought privatization is supposed to lower prices!

To keep everyone else in check. Just wait and see. Soon not clapping at a mandatory trump rally will be a felony.

Walk away from copyright and patent agreements or make enforcement contingent on a companies or officer of the companies current taxable standing ( can only collect damages up to some fraction of a companies or officer or the boards taxable income in Canada)

This is key and could really open up innovation in Canada.

Graphically we've had diminishing returns for quite some time now. I also don't find myself that interested in the games from major studios because they're generally just not very good.

I don't see a reason to artificially limit myself, but there are more then enough games from the past to keep me entertained.

That said there are some games on the horizon I am looking forward to. The next Witcher and Civ VII come to mind. I'm sure their GOTY editions will be great!

If that's the case then you probably don't want to visit the site anyway. What are they doing that makes it so hard for them to not steal your data?

So many "um"s and "uh"s! Is Poilievre Justin Trudeau???

This is why its important for us to retain the right to what Cory Doctorow calls "self-help".

Our right to access and modify things are being stripped away and that gives the platforms even more power!

Today, if you released a tool to bring your Facebook friend list to another platform you'd get sued into oblivion.

I think ignorance (in the non pejorative sense) plays a big part. I can't really blame my non technical friends for not fully understanding that ditching Facebook for Instagram doesn't help. Even if they know it's the same company, it's still a totally different product, right? There's also a certain apathy or need to just get something done.

I'm sure I've purchased things at Home Depot that would make a plumber cringe, but I know nothing about that sort of thing and I just need to get my sink working.

Still, I think those of us who do know should continue to lead by example. My friends know my stance on these things and some of them are coming around.

Geez! Tone down the rhetoric!

Why not vote NDP or Liberal under new leadership? You clearly have not fallen into the cult of personality the conservatives have, so have a look at policy. No party will ever completely align and there may he things you strongly disagree with, but what about points you do agree with? I highly doubt you disagree with literally everything on both party platforms. There are a lot of things I disagree with too so I have to look at the policy I do agree with.

This is your chance to send a message to the party you were hoping to support that they are no longer acceptable to folks like you. Seriously, we are so polarized that not voting for them is the same as giving them your vote. Look what happened down south.

The charlatans spinning bullshit for over 70 years is the reason we have never had anyone from "the left" in a position of power to make any meaningful change.

Quite unlike Poilievre ally and ultra conservative Danielle Smith who is actually trying to run a centrally planned economy and telling people how they can and cannot live their lives. Cause that's totally not Soviet style Communism.
