The main reason for the charter challenge will be the clause that people can’t sue the government for death or injury as a result of removing the lanes.

Because the workflow for a lot of people is to have projects in folders which are synced to Onedrive. That allows for collaboration with colleagues that are not using git, as well as backup/archival of files and access from different computers or online sharing. My workflow of using rsync to periodically copy the files (--exclude .git) works, but isn't ideal. If I forget or someone else edits something, I have to manually deal with conflicts. I guess the real answer is just "not everyone is a software dev."

Your last paragraph makes it sound like you don’t understand what starlink is. Your middle paragraph is just wrong - peaceful protest is legal in Canada, and your paragraph doesn’t distinguish from unlawful activities like property damage. Finally, your first paragraph - I would 100% be behind you if they were talking about banning you from privately purchasing a starlink kit. This isn’t that. This is a huge public works investment, so there are many options available, and they have to consider things you don’t consider as a simple customer.

The sun is reactionary propaganda intended to mislead you for the profit of people not even in this country. If they write something that makes you upset, that probably means they are manipulating you. There are real publications across the political spectrum that will discuss the nuance and realities of these issues, but this isn’t it.

Wow, what a dumb thing to claim when you have surrounded yourself with “free speech absolutists”. They are going to lose it on him, right? …. Right?

I ran into this as my IDE is also constantly touching temporary files to maintain its state. It wasn’t copilot though, it was one drive. So I moved my work files into a local-only location, and then periodically rsync to the synced folder, excluding .git and other folders that have no business on a synced folder.

When I originally switched, I kept an ultra clean windows 2000 VM going for a solid decade. Any time I needed it, I could install stuff, do the work, and then blow away the crud that always builds up with Windows. I would suggest using the oldest version of Windows you can practically use, de-bloating it, and taking vm snapshots.

You could even firewall it using another VM or the host if you wanted. Put windows in jail, erase its memory, and cut it off from the outside world so it behaves, lol.

Being told something and getting it are two completely different things. Most people just don’t understand the difference -we have failed at educating here. One thing I have noticed is that people understand avoiding American companies, even when they don’t understand avoiding closed/walled gardens. It’s a decent hook to get people reconsidering, but it’s a long slow process.

It’s a literal national security threat to become dependent on starling, as demonstrated in Ukraine. We can build our own networks and support other LEO internet projects.

Data scientist here; there simply are not enough murders to model this, so they will need to use proxies for “likely” murderers (like any sort of violent crime). That means the model will very strongly target people who are over-policed (minorities) and those more likely to actually get caught and charged for things, and thus be in the training data set (poor people). It will also fail spectacularly for this purpose because even a highly accurate model will produce almost 100% false positives -again, because actual murders are so vanishingly rare. The math just doesn’t work.

Only a headline because of current events south of the border. Ontario does this every year at this time. Letters home before march break, several more after, likely a phone call from public health, then suspensions. The last part rarely happens because the anti-vaxxers just get an exemption for some bullshit reason. So it’s mostly just a threat so that people aren’t too lazy to get something done.

I see you have a bunch of good answers now, so I’ll ask; if you are comfortable self hosting, why not consider a VPS? Yes it can be a little bit of maintenance, but it’s very minimal and you get far more flexibility and the ability to further develop those selfhosting chops.
