  • I don't think he actually cares about Canada specifically. The point is to alienate the US from its allies and reduce any kind of powerful diplomatic mediators or military deterrents so Russia and similar traditionally colonial powers can just start seizing whatever territory they want.

  • That's called politicking, which they absolutely should be doing.

    You're indirectly getting laws through by twisting arms and making deals instead of just having a majority.

  • Plenty have been directly pressuring Republican congresspeople by rallying in their district like Sanders did this last week.

    Direct legislative action is difficult without control, but in terms of effective messaging and pressuring Republicans by threatening the midterms is probably one of the more effective strategies they have.

  • Define done? Even if the government gets completely dismantled in the short term, who knows what will happen in 10 years time. It will definitely take longer than that to rebuild our position of authority and influence in the global stage, if we ever achieve that, but it's definitely doable in our lifetimes.

  • No, it's basically filling the role of an auto complete and search function for code based. We've had this for a while and it generally works better than a lot of stuff we've had in the past, but it's certainly not replacing anyone any time soon.

  • No matter what kind of company you are, you have an obligation to follow the laws of whatever jurisdictions you're doing business in.

    Also, there's actually a lot of leeway in regards to doing your fiduciary duty to your shareholders. You're not obligated to maximize short term profits at the expense of long term (ie by retaining skilled employees). That's usually just a shitty board trying to suck as much money out of a company as possible and a CEO who doesn't want to get fired by the board.

    I mean the whole metaverse thing was a long term play to capture a future market, which involved a lot of RnD money they just decided to light it on fire instead of making a useful product.

  • Of all the single issue protest votes, I at least respect where the anti genocide bloc is coming from even if I did think their reasoning makes no sense.

    At least they're not like the single issue abortion voters who want to make sure that the only way to end a pregnancy viable or otherwise is to kill the mother.

  • If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.

    But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn't super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it's like a narrative game. You probably can't use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.
