As a Canadian, with the preface that some of my best friends are Americans and I mean this with all due love and respect, we see you as the Ferengi not the Klingons.
James Montgomery Doohan (/ˈduːən/; March 3, 1920 – July 20, 2005) was a Canadian actor and author, best known for his role as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the television and film series Star Trek. Doohan's characterization of the Scottish chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise was one of the most recognizable elements in the Star Trek franchise, and inspired many fans to pursue careers in engineering and other technical fields.[1] He also made contributions behind the scenes, such as the initial development of the Klingon and Vulcan languages. Prior to his acting career, Doohan served in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.
Yeah, I've tried, and it doesn't help. Also that does nothing for the fact that they are going to stop supporting Win10 sooner than later, and since my computer won't run Win11 that means losing all security. Not to mention the microsoft using my data for nefarious reasons, constantly adding new bloatware garbage, and harvesting my data to use to train their AI.
I am done with windows, I am done with microsoft, and why am I having to explain my reasons and motivations for this in the Linux lemmy of all places? Do you work for microsoft or something???
Wtf is "atompunk" and why does every single sci fi genre have to be called somethingpunk now? Cyberpunk had a reason to be called that, I really don't see the reasoning behind every other somethingpunk moniker.
Yes clearly there is nothing inbetween American Conservative (extreme far right) and Commie. You got it, there are two flavours of politics, commies and 'muricans.
The entire point of this post is I want to leave windows, I am sick and tired of microsoft spyware and bloatware slowing my already old computer down, and Windows 10 will not be supported for much longer.
Seriously why do you think I even brought up switching to linux if I wasn't trying to leave windows?
No, it's duct tape. If you bought gaffer tape that looks like the tape in the image, it was mislabeled or misadvertised, gaffer tape is made of different material and is not usually shiny, because light reflection would not be a good thing for what it is used for.
Are you insane? "you canadians" lmao, yes I went to Africa myself and attacked these people, what country are you from exactly? Are you personally responsible for every thing every company of your country ever did?
What. Is. Your. Motive? Stop dodging the question, why are you attempting to defame the entire country of Canada and all its citizens?
edit LMAO judging by your post history about American politics, you're American aren't you, how the fuck do you sit there and judge Canada for the actions of one corporation, your entire countries corporate history is drenched in international blood, what a fucking hypocrite.
This seems to be the only comment chain that actually explains it, the rest of this post is mostly Americans bringing up every crime and misdeed that Canada has ever participated in or even is connected to.
Sorry you got downvoted for bringing up the point of the original post, which was the title and linked image, everyone else on their hate parade and is too busy.
Yes this is definitely all of Canada doing this, not a corporation.
Do you say things like this when a company from your home country invests in a troubled region? Is it their government and peoples that you hold at fault? Or is this a problem with capitalism, and you have some motive to disparage Canada as a whole for the actions of a few rich assholes that the average Canadian would gladly have arrested for these actions?
I love how most of the comments in this thread completely ignore the context of the post, and instead are "Canada bad!" posts that seem to delight in bringing up every horrible thing the country ever did.
