Makes sense. We're way too tightly hitched to the clown truck down south.

Welcome to .. everyone's world who's bothered to learn how the system works. Many don't get this far. It's a bit hard to accept at first but it's what we have to work with. That's why it's important to understand all the different opportunities to affect change. For example keeping track of different parties' leadership elections and voting in those. Or pestering your MP for what you want to see happen, like some folks here pester them for electoral reform. The same goes with provincial parties and elections. And municipal elections. And getting involved in any of those campaigns. And so on.

“we will continue with the design work necessary to begin removals as soon as possible should the decision uphold the legislation.”

What is this, no plans to go to the supreme court, no notwithstanding clause? Is this the same Ford government? Or was this just a publicity stunt to get through the election. 🥲

I'm afraid there's a uncomfortably high chance of this.

Don't be torn, have two stat voting days. If you elect me a PM I'll make it 3. I'll even throw in PR reform.

Just watch the surge being a wave to elect an expansionist collaborator.

I hope not but it's not nearly as improbable as I'd like.

Perhaps more to do with this. Google no longer has legal problems in the US under Trump.

These outlier polls give me the heebijeebies. Some friends are very calm looking at the "nicer" polls. I can't shake the feeling that they're missing some undercurrent.

I think there's more than that in mismanagement on the side of the German state, but these are definitely key elements.

So you're saying it's safe to use their DNS without worrying much about data collection? 😂 I like it.

Not exactly what you want but thought worth mentioning - Cash Passport. It's available at Canada Post locations. You can also buy single-use credit cards there. I think both require ID however so they're not suitable for anonymous purchases.

Open banking works by giving consumers the option to share their banking data with other firms. The most common use is granting access to budgeting or money management apps and companies, so that a customer can pool different bank accounts and credit cards into one place.

Ah yes, finally what we've been missing in our financial system! 🤭

I'm trying to decide how to import my Google Photos Takeout backup. I see two general ways:

  • Import it by uploading it to Immich (immich-go, etc.)
  • Add it as an External library

Has anyone done it one way or the other? Any recommendation, pros/cons or gotchas?

Hot damn that's a large update! Anyone know what's in it?

E: It's QPR2.

 

I can't believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he's onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

Second hand disks? (www.ebay.ca)

What do you think about buying second hand disks and using higher redundancy?

For example 4x 16TB in RAIDz2? Is anyone using something like that? How's it performing, reliability-wise?

E: Thanks all for the opinions and information!

 

In case you erroneously run into Circle to Search and you want to disable it like me.

 

How uncharacteristically progressive!

For a few moments I was looking for a Church of Satan signage. 🤭
