Well put.

I started watching this guy and at first I thought he had some good points.

But then I realized that he makes a lot of points but basically doesn’t give any evidence for them, and occasionally using straw-mans etc. I feel like you need to be quite nuanced when actually providing good political commentary, but this guy doesn’t do that.

30 min lineup at advance voting at about 4pm today. Everyone I talked to says it’s longer than previous years!

Its not that black and white. Some people certainly say that the reason they want to defund the CBC is because the directors/CEO are being paid way too much.

Finally! Thank you. Makes lots of sense. I’ve fucked up at least two systems in my life by messing with drivers/settings when I didn’t know what I was doing. That would have certainly helped. I’ll have to check it bazzite. I game too through Steam/Proton and it’s not exactly a 100% match in terms of performance when compared to Windows.

My bad,

Ride on the side of a major road and people will honk at you for no reason. You can’t win.

Nano! Nano!

Okay, I get what an immutable distro is. I get it’s advantages in security/safety. But can someone please explain why this matters? Like, how much safer is this really? I don’t understand the cost/benefit ratio of having an immutable core, especially since compromising the core will probably require fully compromising one or more privileged processes first, at which point it would be game over for a mutable distro as well.

Anybody know if it has a phased array antenna? a) those are cool b) they can aim much faster than an antenna that needs to physically pivot

Goddamn. I still remember when I broke a mercury thermometer and my parents freaked out and cleaned harder than I’ve ever seen them clean. Now this metal is being freely released into the atmosphere in 70 locations? So what, a few select businessmen can get a few more Ferraris?

Translation into regular human language:

Paywalled article

Yeah good point. Local news too; Vancouver’s local news are all US-owned private, same with radio

This is such a teachable “leopards ate my face” moment for all Canadians.

Be Canada

Want to save money on healthcare

Agree to sell private firm to Americans

Get worse healthcare

Independence is reduced

Americans turn on you

Same thing is happening with the CBC right now, but nobody understands what’s at stake!!

Be Canada

Want to save some money by not funding CBC, private media

Almost all conservative newspapers already owned by Americans

Agree to shut CBC down/defund/whatever

Americans start absolutely hammering us with propaganda

Have not a single way to defend ourselves

Not a single source of journalistic integrity left in Canada

I wish CSIS had an office in Vancouver… Not everyone in Canada lives on the east coast…

Just wondering, what org specifically asks for 4chan use?

This article is great, super information sense, doesn’t try to spin a narrative, just investigates the facts.

I find it crazy that as a system this guy of all people managed to slip though the cracks. An autist with Hitler’s signature tatooed on his arm, combined with arrests and jail time for stalking and harassing women, and nobody thought to give this guy the mandatory anti radicalization treatment? Kind of insane. Lots of holes in the Swiss Cheese model.

On the other hand, what could have been done? The guy had no social support network, no family that would have taken care of him. You can’t force someone to have friends, or to get them to take the prerequisite steps to overcome whatever might be holding them back. Getting rid of X? Maybe that would help things in aggregate, but I’m and optimist and believe that people are smart enough to no be racist just because their feed is.

I think it’s unlikely you can donate without any conversions…

Yeah haha I didn’t write this well. What I’m trying to say is that where you have socialized healthcare people are way less likely to agree with the idea that you’re free to not wear a helmet. I just worded that poorly.
