Infomaniak is great, but it's not in the EU, and I'm not sure what you're referring to when you are claming it is FOSS?

I'm excited for Outward 2, but I should probably check out their other games too.

Hey I need to buy the 1 switch game per year I get from somewhere, and it's not going to be from the eshop.

I have good memories of EB Games, hopefully they can make it viable.

Is electoral reform possible now? in c/canada
[–] liverpoolbutter 17 points 2 months ago

Vote splitting felt very frustrating this election, but NDP can't afford another election yet, and they need space to rebrand and rebuild. I can't see them formally hitching themselves to the Liberals again right now. But hopefully they come to some backroom understandings in order to keep a stable government. And NDP voters who went Liberal this election are not going to be interested in threats to topple the government.

Why didn't Trudeau scrap the carbon tax first? in c/askacanadian
[–] liverpoolbutter 5 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure how intentional b) is, but I think it will work. Plus, I believe what replaces it will not actually be better, just less transparent and not be in people's faces. Killing the tax and introducing a new non-consumer facing tax would get torn to shreds with Trudeau doing it.

Next Federal Election (self.canada)

When I think of the next federal election, I get a feeling of hopelessness. I feel like we're screwed no matter what.

Without any hope of electoral reform, I wonder if we can instead use the tools we have better.

Independents running always seems like a long shot. The cards are stacked against them. But would it be possible to make it easier for them?

One of my thoughts would be to use technology. Create a platform for people to engage with their local riding, stripped of obvious party association. And not pay-to-play for candidates.

Does an idea like that have merit? Do you have any other ideas?
