Danielle Smith punching herself in the face: Canada did it!

They submitted kernel patches for (at least some) support of the FP6 the day it released. The preinstalled OS isn't FOSS though a good few FOSS OSs/distros support their older phones (and presumably the FP6 eventually).

So the answer is... sort of? Personally I just think they're just FOSS-friendly

If anyone still has a Reddit account, ask them to hold an AMA on here too.

Also, the irony of having a BuyFromEU space on a USA-run and -funded website is fun.

Wouldn't that rule also necessarily have to change to allow browsers? Unless Apple wants to continue its malicious compliance by forcing other browsers to disable JavaScript.

There's at least two limitations that they've mentioned before with shipping outside of Europe.

First is they need extra certifications (e.g. FCC ones for selling to the USA), which are expensive and basically redundant. Probably not worth the business cost to do it and maintain it.

Second is they do carbon neutral shipping, which is hard to do when you have to cross an ocean. I know in Canada our national postal service can do carbon neutral for packages, but figuring that out for every country and the international legs of the shipping is a lot of work.

Part of the cost of being ethical is being at a disadvantage with capitalism, so while they're doing pretty alright they aren't going to grow like big tech did.

They only used a weird chip for one generation (the last generation; 5)

I've got a backup of it, as others should too if they've got their own git forge https://git.ngram.ca/mirrors/lapd-face-search

I'm not sure if that's a good idea to start as a trend. It'd make it easier for actual ICE agents to hide in plain sight.

I don't think making it easier for state-endorsed terrorism to fly under the radar is a good strategy for stopping it. If you physically intervene with every terrorist-fashioned individual you see you're much more effective when they're all actually ICE and not just trolls. And I'd very much recommend that course of action.

Packages aren't mail? Fair enough, I guess I'm the odd one out there.

Everyone except for me might be on the same page about package deliveries, though I still don't understand why they would be.

Interesting, if a bit tangential, that 72% support reducing delivery frequency while Canada Post is trying to increase delivery frequency by doing weekend deliveries.

Personally, I don't understand how many things can be so urgent that it's profitable to deliver as frequently as possible. Surely a single specialised courier for critically fast deliveries (e.g. life saving medicine) would entirely saturate the market.

Yup, this is open weights just like DeepSeek. Open source should mean their source data is also openly available, but we all know companies won't do that until they stop violating copyright to train these things.

I find this accusation funny because I am a feminist

How you can be for equality of sexes yet still think one's benefits are more important than another in a relationship? I'm mansplaining and gatekeeping feminism to a woman on the internet. Wow, you got me, I am definitely an asshole.

I think this lead to me self sabotaging our relationship [...]

You also might want to reflect on how all of the things you describe in this paragraph would actually qualify as emotional abuse of your boyfriend, not self-sabotage. This is really dangerous because getting back together with your boyfriend might make you both fall into your old ways, which can include the addiction and the abuse. I hope you've recovered enough for that to not happen.

Anyway, I'm going to stop talking before I make more of an ass of myself. Just know that there's always people you can reach out to if you need help or for a random chat on the internet. I should go to bed. Goodnight.

 
 

Steam Deck plugin for controlling additional power settings. New in this version:

  • Online repository of setting profiles
  • Settings variants for every game #82
  • New save file and override file format
  • Steam Deck OLED compatibility tweaks
  • UI fixes (hopefully somewhat future proof)
  • Bugfixes
  • Removed some legacy code

It should be available on the main Decky store soon™ (it's already on the testing store). I lurk here too much to ask for a favour, but if you submit a testing report you can speed up getting this version onto the main store.
