In an election where the two leading parties are refusing to even acknowledge that genocide is being committed by a "friend" and ally, a country to which we continue to sell arms, I'd argue that the NDP's stance on Gaza is probably the only thing they've done right in this election. Your suggestion that Canada can't do anything is just plain wrong. We should, for example:
Stop sending Israelis weapons
Condemn their actions publicly
Close our embassy and kick theirs out of Canada
Organise and send peacekeepers to ensure that humanitarian aid gets through
I'm all for trying to build a "big tent" party with a diversity of views, but that should stop at genocide enablers and apologists.
Sadly, this sort of bulllshit is common with border authorities all over the place. My wife's Greek passport was once rejected by a British official who claimed that it must be fake because "there's no such thing as a Hellenic Republic".
That's the official name for Greece.
I'm not sure that I would attribute this sort of thing to malice though. I think CBSA might just be perpetually hiring from the shallow end of the gene pool.
I've got an Arctis 7 myself and it works just fine in Linux, no special drivers or anything needed. However, there are a bunch of features in their proprietary app which I used for all of a few minutes on a Windows machine (I think there was an equaliser in there?) and that might work in Linux under Wine... but I'm not sure as I've never bothered.
“Canada would then have to put the customs border between itself and the U.S. and apply EU tariffs and regulations on imports from the U.S. … It would be incredibly economically destructive. It would outweigh any benefits that it might expect to get from the [EU] membership over many, many years,”
With what Trump's been doing with the tariffs, the above statement may not be true for much longer. It may well be cheaper to ship to Rotterdam than to Rochester.
I've been a Green supporter for a very long time. I even ran as a candidate for the BC Greens way back. I hate it, but I don't really have a problem with this ruling. The Greens rose to our highest levels of support when we ran a full slate of candidates across the country, and while we have on occasion chosen to not run in a few strategic ridings (don't blame us, it's FPTP), 15 ridings fewer wouldn't be a problem if we were running everywhere else.
The big caveat though is that it's really hard to run a full slate as a small party. The vetting alone is a brutal (and costly) amount of work, and getting 343 candidates mobilised in time for a short-notice election is near impossible for a small party. In other words, when election dates are controlled by the ruling party, elections (and debate rules) will inevitably favour larger parties, diminishing our democracy.
The rules seem reasonable to me, and objectively we didn't meet them, so we shouldn't be included. I just think it's worth noting exactly why we didn't meet them.
In Star Trek: Insurrection, the Enterprise protected the Baku from the So'na, though if I remember right, there was some debate as to whether the prime directive applied as the Baku weren't native to the planet.
I was one of the people who based my opinion of Proton on that tweet and swore off them until someone else shared that link with me. It's excellent, thorough, and makes a convincing case that Yang is actually left-leaning. I can only assume that you're getting downvotes from people who haven't read it.
What you're describing is winning elections by letting the public dictate your position. This is not the same thing as leadership. To be fair though, genuine leadership is in short supply all over the world right now, so it's easy to conflate cowardice with strategy.
Leadership is when someone steps away from the crowd, paints a picture of the world they want, and asks people to join them. Think: "I have a dream", or "we choose to go to the moon". Leaders are charismatic visionaries that take you with them rather than taking popular positions once the polling reports in.
Canada deserves the sort of leadership that understands the critical nature of the climate issue, and leaders who will convince us to come with them in building the world we want. May is criticising the other parties for their lack of conviction regarding the most important issue of our time, and she's right to do it.
Well, welcome to the Free side fellow traveller :-) I too ditched Windows for (different) political reasons 25 years ago, and haven't looked back. You'll love it here, 'cause if you don't, you now have the power to change it 'til you do.
Sorry, I was on mobile so I over-simplified 'cause digging up the details on Wikipedia wasn't so easy while also juggling my kid :-) I'll try to amend the original post.
I'll likely be downvoted for this, but if you're committed to Linux, you might want to reconsider using Ubuntu (or Fedora for that matter). Ubuntu has a well-earned reputation for trying to make things "easy" by obfuscating what it's doing from the user (hence that useless error message). They're also a corporate distro, so their motivations are for their profit rather than your needs (wait 'til you had about Snap).
A good starting distro is Debian (known for stable, albeit older) software. It's a community Free software project and the 2nd-oldest Linux distro that's still running as well as the basis for a massive number of other distros (including Ubuntu). The installer is straightforward and easy too.
Or if you're feeling ambitious, I'd recommend Arch or Gentoo. These distros walk you through the install from a very "bare metal" perspective with excellent documentation. Your first install is a slog, but you learn a great deal about the OS in the process, ensuring that you have more intimate knowledge when something goes wrong.
If only he'd done that, I'd have respect for him. Instead he walked back a half-assed confirmation of someone else's question. Hardly the conviction we should expect from our Prime Minister.
Do AI bots really spam Lemmy of all places for this sort of thing? Ick. Well thank you very much, this is very useful. My intent is to drop Tilix in favour of GNOME's default terminal (or maybe one of the sexy alternatives that the cool kids keep talking about like Kitty), but I couldn't switch without understanding this first.
Your config works for me with one exception: bind -n M-| effectively means that I have to hit Alt+Shift+\, since | is only available via Shift+\. I amended this to be bind -n M-\\ and it works gloriously. Thank you so much!
It turns out that I didn't need to use set -g xterm-keys on, but I'm curious: what does it do?
There's no need to get snarky. I did in fact do multiple searches, but as you might note from the question, this is a hard thing to search for. The GitHub wiki has this page which looks promising, save for the disclaimer at the top claiming that it's no longer relevant due to something called extended-keys, but searching the same wiki for that returns nothing. Similarly, a web search for it returned a bunch of news sites talking about how tmux does extended-keys now, but none of the ones I found explained what this was, how to use it, or even if it was relevant to my question.
Good. This whole "I'm running for Prime Minister" thing is as ridiculous as it is inaccurate. Singh, May, Carney, and Poillievre can't "run for PM", and acting like our political system mirrors that of the US perpetuates public ignorance about the parliamentary system.
