If he lives to the end of this term, 100% that he'll try for a third.

By then, it'll be a battle between Republican Nazis who back him blindly, and Republican Nazis who want a more competent puppet in power. Oh, and people who aren't actively supporting fascism. I doubt they'll make a difference.

The UCP kind.

The party has been filled with this sort of scum for ages - violent, homophobic, misogynistic, fascist scum.

I used to see him illegally park his huge shiny pickup truck each mornimg as he dropped off his kid at the charter school operated by the woman who dropped out of the UCP for making extreme remarks.

So to be clear, the UofA is moving beyond the DEI label and language, not abandoning the ideas entirely.

The University of Alberta has announced plans to move away from its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, saying it will instead organize similar initiatives under a less “polarizing” acronym.

In an Edmonton Journal op-ed published Jan. 2, president Bill Flanagan said the university will move to a policy of “access, community and belonging” in place of DEI.

The entire article is like the headline: empty clickbait, likely written by AI.

Each paragraph starts out with something like 'this section highlights the challenges...' and then fills out with junior-high level fluff and links to entirely unrelated articles.

It's garbage, plain and simple.

As said elsewhere...

Pray that Trump doesn't discover the vindictiveness of Canadiands when our backs are against the wall.

With Trudeau’s resignation lil pp has adopted an election stance.

Oh, it's been going on for a while.

I can't find it right now, but there was a graph posted a few weeks ago showing how much the CPC outspent the other parties on campaign advertising in 2024. It was astounding.

Don't.

Develop real AI, don't rely on bullshit LLMs.

That stupid Nazi fuck may discover just how vicious Canadians can get when defending their country.

I'm not sure if the article had a point, or if it was just scattered fragments of thoughts.

Regardless, I always felt that the death of OS/2 came later, and was due to IBM's inability or unwillingness to market their products. "We're IBM! People will flock to us and wait for our release schedule!" But it didn't happen, and they lost all of their momentum.

Professor Kitzel.

"Pierre Poilievre reveals unhinged fascist goals, willingness to use anyone to achieve them."

How did a convicted criminal get into Canada while skipping out on his sentence?

Deport this fucker, unless he runs into an accident on the slopes.

Your attack was weak, unfocused!

Much like the Gnome user experience! :-D

I don't say much about it because it's stupid to argue, but I've used a LOT of different desktop interfaces over the past 45+ years (yeah, really!), and GNOME...well, GNOME sucks. When Gnome3 was first released we all had high hopes for it improving on Gnome2 (which for those of us on Unix systems was a huge improvement over CDE), and instead it was buggy, clunky, awkward, and an enormous resource hog. Oh yeah, and it was massively unconfigurable. AND it continued to not improve for many many years, until most people I know switched to KDE or one of the other environments (MATE, Cinnamon, and xfce were very popular).

Gnome 4x added a touchscreen paradigm, whether you had a touchscreen or not, and made the experience worse in the process.

If you like it, great! Use it and love it all you want! I'll play with it once every year or so just to see if someone has finally designed something that doesn't suck so badly, but for a functional desktop, no thanks.

I think the fact that most of the 'fringe' desktops are well-known in the community because of people trying to escape GNOME is pretty telling.

The Cons have been pushing this bill and others like it for ages, so expect to see more of it.

What disappoints me the most is that the other parties (Green, NDP, PQ) are all backing it. It's garbage - even if you support a nanny state, it's garbage. The only real purpose of this bill is to eventually ban pornography entirely.

If you want to learn drums well, skip the gimmicks and toys, and get a solid practice pad (Remo, Vic Firth, etc.). You can learn a lot - and can practice fundamentals endlessly with that.

Drums are more fun. Music is more fun, and will last you a lifetime.

But absolutely make sure you factor in the cost of lessons.

Yes.

Really and truly, yes.

I'd like to see someone finally fix the 'capitalism' race condition.

Welcome!

You'll find that the volume here is much (much much MUCH!!!) lower than reddit. As frustrating as this can be, the only solution is to stand and create more content. More worthwhile posts, more comments, more interaction. At its height, that was exactly what made reddit successful.
