I'm guessing China has a separate client to comply with the law without needing to add backdoors for everyone else?

Seems strange that they were previously excluding those numbers either way.

It doesn't even talk about bringing in more construction workers.

Huh? "Grow the construction sector workforce" is literally the third point. Either you're being disingenuous or you didn't read the same page that I did.

Not really, he was already insanely popular before this. Just won a third majority a week ago, which is unheard of in Ontario politics. It's more that he knows how to connect with people and the electorate is very gullible / willing to turn a blind eye.

With all this recent goodwill he'll probably end up being our prime minister at some point shudder

My Hispanic in-laws had to go to the states to take care of some elderly family, and they said the Spanish translations of what he's saying make him sound much smarter than what he's actually saying in English. Like they change the words, use proper grammar and the tone of voice doesn't come through the translator.

Not saying this is an excuse in any way, but I thought that was interesting.

There's millions of young people who are just starting to pay attention. We continue to point out the hipocrasy for them. Lest their only point of reference come from the conservatives.

Love this game! This is the same studio that did FTL. Two of my all time favourite roguelites.

  1. There are in fact a ton of services that browsers interface with on behalf of a user. Always have been. For example, Firefox uses the Google Safe Browsing service to protect against phishing. They use location services to fulfill the Geolocation API. They call DNS servers to find the website you want, etc, etc.

  2. Applications do have terms, they're called EULA's. It's the same idea. Also nothing new, I've been clicking through that shit since the year 2000.

If it's part of a peace deal they wouldn't be seeing actual combat, but I guess you never know with Russia. Still good experience though.

It is beautiful, but it didn't grab me. I probably got about halfway and then never played again. The puzzles / platforming are not challenging in the least, so this game is all about the experience.

I didn't dislike the game, but think I just got bored. I should finish it though, now knowing it's only four hours long
