I also wish it didn't say that, but for entirely different reasons.

It's an ad. Paid for by a foreign government. MAGA morons aren't going to do much other than interpret it as Canada being scared and spreading lies, which obviously means it's working and Trump is doing a tremendous bigly job making Canada "pay" the tariffs.

It might get some Republican Trump voters to actually attempt to understand the consequences of tariffs, but it's going to empower the vocal cultists that live in disinformation la-la land.

To anyone with critical thinking skills, sure. Try convincing the morons who believe he's not a disinformation superspreader about that, though.

now he's just a step removed from screaming about gay frogs.

He wouldn't. He'll bring on an "expert" on "gay frogs" and start Just Asking Questions-ing off while pretending to disagree. Once Gay Frogs Gary is platformed and given some time to spout off shit, then he'll start subtly agreeing and posing conspiratorial questions under the guise of continuing his JAQing off session.

I heard that Canadians are paying for billboards saying "tariffs are taxes on your groceries" in Republican states. It's funny as hell, but it won't work—people are either too uneducated to understand how higher import costs lead to higher downstream costs, or they're too MAGA to even consider it.

Model 3K will be available next year. Using revolutionary new technologies, it will drive competitors out of town with its composite wood t-shaped suspension and high-density dihydrogen oxidization catalyst battery chemistry. Pre-orders are available today for the limited Grand Wiz edition.

The only thing cleaner is his conscience /s

Hypothetical Canadian Trump supporters:

CANADA DOESNT NEED A SMALL pp
CANADA NEEDS A BIG DONg

Knowing the current administration, it will end up just like abortion tourism... but instead of only being persecuted in red states, it will be federally outlawed.

Oh, are we "shredding" instead of "slamming" now? An even better idea: acting on it

It's always the emoji that rile up the reactionaries...

Overwatch should be illegal in there anyway because of the "gay propaganda"

Good luck with that one. As long as Overwatch is free to play, they can just make new accounts with an EU VPN. No way to tie the account owner to their country of origin unless they fork over that info voluntarily, such as by having to make an online purchase.

Source? That would be useful for helping convince friends/family to switch to Linux and LibreOffice.

It shows they didn't even watch the video.

Of course they didn't. Musk fanboys are an echo chamber of morons worshipping a Nazi oligarch. They're quick to react, and they dismiss evidence and facts if it doesn't suit their narrative.

You're putting way too much faith in the typical consumer. Enshittifying Chrome even more would piss its users off, but inertia and its market dominance would keep most of them continuing to use it while complaining about how bad it is.

Remember: It took 8 years for Chrome to drag Internet Explorer to the point where less than 10% of people actually used it. And that's with Firefox already being a competitor to it for years.

It also has remote access capabilities used exclusively by Putin, but people seem totally fine with that part because the jet was promised to only be used to hurt the right people.

Cry to the nearest couch in a sad attempt to get some pity sex?

And then lost the reflog by rm -rfing the project and cloning it again.

Why was the path to my save games hidden in a dotfile-folder?

It isn't any better on Windows, but oh boy does this one piss me off.

    
~/.config/mygame — wtf, no it's not config
~/mygame — fuck off, the home folder is mine
~/.local/share/mygame — better, I guess?
~/.cache/mygame — absolutely not here
~/.steam/.../MyGame — still not great, but at least it's self contained

  

Oh, interesting. I knew something was off about the place when I kept seeing anti-"woke" conservative opinion pieces posted there, but I thought it was just a bunch of MAGA morons voluntarily role-playing as "independent" "journalists".

That's the point. Educated voters don't vote for Republicans.
