Those things were great. You could make a phone call from almost anywhere without having to carry around a radio tracking device all the time.

Well f...

und the CBC. That would be interesting.

Some bank apps work on LineageOS, some don't. Mine does, and I've only used it twice in ten years, but I'd sooner switch banks than run Google's android.

Port forwarding lets you connect with other hosts peer-to-peer which a VPN would otherwise block if both sides are behind one. For torrents you'd get more peers (which doesn't matter if you're just downloading the latest and most popular stuff) and be able to seed more effectively.

The requirement for port forwarding narrows that down to AirVPN and Windscribe, which is an unfortunately small set of choices.

Some investors are betting that once people wealthy enough to buy new cars get over the initial shock they will learn to relax and enjoy fascism, and quickly go back to buying Tesla cars just like they did last year.

Anyone have some free time over the next couple of weekends? Somebody needs to take over and rebuild the Green Party of Canada.

I'm sort of tired of articles describing some catastrophe that happened ten years ago and saying "it's worrying."

As I remember it: It's an online game, so you need a monthly subscription to play. That is a set price in whatever real-world currency as normal. But you can buy as many months as you like in advance; and if you buy more than you need you can sell them in-game for whatever you can get on the open market which is controlled by players.

It was a long time ago, no idea if it still works that way. But it seemed to me like a good system, for a game in which in-game market trading between players is a big part of it.

P.S. Actually come to think of it I think they went free-to-play at some point. I wonder if my account still exists.

I hope it doesn't affect EVE Online. As I remember it their system didn't involve any deception or confusion, even though there was in-game currency you could spend € on if you wanted to.

Well I mean there was plenty of deception and confusion among and between the players, but none from the game itself.

The demands:

• give Alberta full access to export oil to the north, east, west, south, up, and down
• stop saying mean things about oil and gas
• acknowledge that carbon dioxide is what plants crave
• double pollution in other provinces so Alberta doesn't stand out so much
• put a tariff on the sun to stop solar power being so underpriced
• end the prohibition on littering
• dig a canal through B.C. so oil tankers can get to Edmonton
• halt the federal censorship of energy companies

Canada Proud appears to be Poilievre's brand name for spreading lies he can't get away with repeating himself.

Oh yes I did fail to include a full catalogue of all the base instincts it obviously appeals to — but it's as if people are eating a giant pile of shit for breakfast, and you're helpfully explaining that well, we all need to eat.

It says the opposite — they do have an engine that will be ready for 2026, unless they change the rules for 2026. They would want the 2026 changes to go ahead as planned for a couple years before then moving to V10.

... Red Bull that is; Ferrari might be the ones pushing the idea of dropping the 2026 change. If so maybe they just think they have an advantage with the current rules and don't want to risk giving it up.

oh I would quit X, but I'd miss [ politicians / my friends / the latest gossip / the hottest memes / Stephen King ]

It might've seemed to make sense in 2016 but that bullshit doesn't fly any more. It no longer takes any imagination or courage to see it for what it is. There are no more excuses.

I used to think that the worries about social media algorithms exerting some kind of profound mind control on the users were overstated, but holy fuck, what kind of perverted sci-fi brainwashing power does twitter have that people are still using it even in the year 2025?

Antagonizing the journalists, what a strategy — it worked so well for Maxime Bernier.

I felt like I was reading educational material from a high school textbook illustrating the way in which journalists usually fail to understand anything involving numbers. It's not so much cherry picking, more like just randomly grabbing a few data points in the vicinity of a cherry tree which might include fruit, squirrels, wingnuts, and ball bearings and then instead of doing any meaningful analysis just throwing them into an AI-powered blender. And then to top it off, it ends with:

In case you were wondering why Canada needs so many fighter jets, so far in the 21st century their notable uses have included:

• Provide a show of force at G8 meetings, Olympic games, and other such events
• Drop bombs on Libya
• Drop bombs on Iraq
• Drop bombs on Syria
