Imagine thinking that any for-profit company built on VC funding won't end up data mining.

c'mon man knock it off

Stories are more powerful than statistics, so sadly this won't convince anyone.

Yeah, this article is like "the main thrust of the book is completely true but it's very mean and Gates was nice to me personally so it's wrong" wtf

Yep. But,

    
sudo tee /usr/local/bin/nvim <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim "$@"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim

  

(I haven't tested this, that I use similar code for a different program)

It sure would be nice if flatpak bundled some functionality to do this for you, though.

I think its biggest weakness is also its biggest strength: isolation. Sometimes desktop integration doesn't work quite right. For instance, the 1password browser extension can't integrate with the desktop app when you use flatpak firefox.

I keep seeing this criticism, but flatpak provides a run command on its cli that works just fine. It is a little clunky though.

Legit that should be illegal

Not if we keep throwing away all our TVs

Oooooooh I tell you if you keep committing genocide I'm gonna get frustrated! Reeaaal frustrated!

I mean, there is a crisis, in that we are imprisoning innocent people, but yes

there are two healthy sex phenotypes ... and b) the result of something going wrong.

What about intersex people makes them "unhealthy"? What makes what their bodies do "wrong"?

Everything else is a) extremely rare

Intersex people are about as common than redheads. Would you agree with the statement that redheads are the exception that proves the rule that there are 3 hair colors, blond, brown, and black?

[Edit: more common -> about as common]

Yeah, wanna point out which one of us had the insurrection that ended up with someone dead and attack on the capitol again? Oh wait.

Yes, it is worse here, as I admitted. Even factoring in hyperbole, though, this is not a papercut vs. missing limbs situation. It didn't pan out, but the Convoi de la liberté could have escalated to something similar if they weren't so incompetent.

I get that Canadians can focus on both. I do think Canadians should criticize the US, same as I think USians should. It's also understandable to worry about what's going on here, as we are very close by and have huge influence over world events.

But, Canadians do use how bad the US is as an excuse to ignore their own problems. I have seen it. And yes, lots of Canadians don't! But the Canadians I know who understand things are bad tend to acknowledge this as a part of the problem.

What exactly do you expect Canada to do to help fix our electoral problems?

Canada is not that much better off than the US politically (though to be sure they are better off). They too have a Trumpy conservative candidate who is projected to win in an election. Their left/center-left parties are fractured facing off a unified right. They also suffer from a non-representative electoral system (still mad at Trudeau for failing to keep his promise there). And one big factor in how this is possible is that they can look down at the US and say "at least we're not THAT bad" when things get worse for them.

So yeah, I do think they would benefit from spending some more time looking at their own problems.

Here, I drew the word "Just" in this post

Ok, but we all should admit: .net is a terrible name.

"it" in this case is to magically add a centimeter or so of paper to the left side of the 't

IMO the best way to ensure that traffic always goes through a VPN is to use network namespaces. The wireguard website has an article describing the process. In a nutshell, you create a dedicated namespace to put the physical interface in, create the wireguard interface in that namespace, then move the wireguard interface to the root ("normal") namespace. That way the only way to get traffic out without the VPN is to run a program in that dedicated namespace.

Maybe this will work?
