I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn't be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.

Banks having "sound" balance sheets while losing actual boatloads of money to sub-prime lending makes me a little nervous, having lived through the year 2008 and all.

She zeroed in on journalism schools and her thoughts that not enough conservative journalists and commentators have come out of those programs.

That has nothing to do with federal funding and everything to do with the current version of conservatism being completely idiotic.

Did nobody else's CS department require a bunch of linear algebra courses? A vector is an element of vector space.

Magpies are the bird equivalent of that person everyone thinks is hot as long as they don't say anything

Honestly, huge shout out to the wave of enshittification crashing through Google and reddit and forcing me off their platforms. Decade-long debilitating addiction solved.

I kinda feel bad for the kid. I would absolutely hate if someone tried to use me as an excuse to get out of a huge mess of their own making. Sure, it sucks to not have your family there, but it's not by the judge being "evil". Trump engaged in criminal behaviour and that's fully on him.

This might even be a good thing, now Barron can do one thing in his life without having his unscrupulous father show up and cause a disturbance.

That's a massive blunder. There is about 0 chance the Cons are serious about finding "alternative plans" for climate policy. If they were, they wouldn't be asking the likes of Danielle "blanket ban on renewables" Smith and Doug "let's just develop the greenbelt" Ford for their ideas. Furthermore, if they think this tax is too much of an imposition on Canadians, then that rules out essentially all other forms of climate action, because the tax is one of the most conservative policies possible.

I'm not saying the carbon tax is perfect by any means, but up to the present, nobody opposed to it has been able to come up with a better idea, or even much of a coherent argument against it. I don't know what the NDP are gaining from this deal, but I can't see it being worth all the trust and credibility they had to concede.

The amount of effort spent whining about this tax on a national level is probably more than it would take to solve the damn climate crisis.

People will do just about anything to avoid the tiniest bit of self reflection.

This is a critical juncture for the direction of our housing market, specifically in Edmonton. House prices are relatively sane at the moment, thanks to a combination of staying ahead of the curve on building houses, forward-thinking urban development, and the lack of any real draw for people to want to live here. Calgary's market is beginning to inflate and it's only a matter of time before people get priced out and have to settle for Edmonton.

It's really important that we continue to be forward-thinking and deliberate with new development, so as to keep prices manageable while fostering a healthy urban fabric. I know everyone in the country is dicks out for fast and cheap housing development, but relying on infinite suburban sprawl is a really, really bad idea. Let's use what we've learned from the mistakes of previous generations and do it right this time

"We haven't seen any real justification on why an important and essential American industry is being targeted for tax increases"

What a glorious quote. It's got everything. A dismissive head-in-sand style approach, leading into a self-aggrandizing appeal to nationalism, followed by a flimsy attempt to claim victimhood.

If you have nothing better to do with excess cash than turn it directly into air pollution in the most wasteful way possible, then I think it should be fair game. The working class should have first dibs on the wealth they produce.

Not OP but I read somewhere that 20% of mammal species are bats. So you're probably right.

Yeah, the even numbered seasons didn't draw me in quite the same as the odd ones. Still a fantastic show altogether

We're trying that in Canada right now, and it's making a lot of people very angry.

Those people are ignorant and wrong, but they're loud enough that even parties on the left are saying "maybe we should try something else."

It is really interesting to think about how we built our entire society around gas being insanely cheap. You can buy a gallon of it for $3, which is as much as you would pay for a large cup of coffee in most places, something which we have essentially an infinite supply of.

I second the wayland option. Then you at least have a working gui with all your settings and recent work intact while you try to find the glitch in your Xorg install.

I'll probably get bodied by a massive SUV while cycling

Have you ever wondered what that random family living in your house is always so freaked out about? Maybe try going towards the light.

2 things keep landlords from being an infinite money glitch: morality and stupidity. Somehow I doubt these folks are afflicted by the first one.

Time to sell the properties and get a real job, damned leaches.

I tend to think about it as density. Smaller chunks can be more tightly packed together, and are therfore more dense. As long as there is a way for the stuff to flow (i.e. shaking the bag), gravity will pull denser stuff to the bottom.

There's openSUSE tumbleweed. It's rpm based like fedora and it's rolling-release like arch. I don't know what the 3rd party/nonfree software situation is like. Maybe someone else can chime in on that front.

I will add, as an arch user, I think you could easily tweak your current system to be less annoying with the updates, but I realize that's not the question you're asking so feel free to disregard that.
