  • I had the same experience introducing Linux to other people:

    "Oh yeah, gaming just works out of the box on Linux", one install later...

    "Hey, it says 'Only for 🪟' for everything except Portal and a couple other games!"

    "Whoops, you have to go in the settings and check this very particular box, then it just works out of the box."

  • I think the state legislature and governor will be more of a hurdle to clear than council. Since in US and Canada, most municipal powers are rooted in state/provincial legislation, they have the ability to override or veto, sanction or outlaw anything the city tries to implement. Gov. Hochul is an establishment Democrat so I expect some efforts to water down the most radical policies, but aside from her characteristic flip-flopping she won't try to put herself in the way of city politics.

  • I'm upset that more deference to House MPs' summer vacation was given in the Senate than the potential impact to our rights.

    I'm still cautiously optimistic about Bill C-5 (though Bill C-2 needs to either be scrapped or massively reworked IMO), since there could be bills to amend the laws again, or matters of discretion that come out of this summer's consultation.

    The power is in the government now in law, but the civil and legal pushback will come depending on how forceful the government attempts to use this newly gained power.

  • It's also a very bold assumption of mine that they would try to do anything more than the status quo even if they did manage to retake power, predicated on the Democratic Party being massively reformed. If there was ever a time to reform the Dems, that's right now, years before midterms or a US general election.

  • More bad behavior from the Roberts Supreme Court. Write it down, Democrats.

    I'm just going to keep putting "bad behavior / bad behaviour" in the thread of each new piece of SCOTUS' deliberate ignorance of democracy, constitution and the rule of law. You'll be able to search my profile for it, and maybe Democrats can do something about it if they can retake power.

  • Not that I am condoning vandalism, but it sounds like OIP was targeted because they are a subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit Systems. So profits from this production for Ukraine would go partially to Israel.

    That said company ownership is a complex matter (Canadians are grappling with a similar issue whether to boycot Canadian subsidiaries owned by American companies). This action does not do much to harm Israel, it does a lot to harm Ukraine, and to harm the Palestinian cause.
