If your government proposed an initiative to tackle fraud, but the initiative would cost more than it would save, would you support it or not? in c/[email protected]

I'd support it because criminals shouldn't be rewarded for their actions. If they are, more people would do it and now It'll cost even more to stop everyone from doing it.

My understanding is that they are all under Mozilla and they're all in danger of the same business decisions.

If that's not the case I'd be more than happy if someone could prove me wrong.

I've already moved most of my stuff to forks or different software altogether.

Firefox -> LibreWolf and Waterfox

Thunderbird -> Evolution

I'm still trying to decide if I want to move off k9mail on mobile to something else. I probably will but I'm not sure what at this point.

Election results throughout the day? in c/ontario

[–] skankhunt42 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I bet someone $100 that trump wouldn't get in. Easy money in my mind. I payed up but there's no way I'm making another bet like that. I hope he doesn't get in again but I'm thinking he will, why else would he call an election early?

Yeah, the wife is dragging the sister-in-law out to vote. We're the only reason she votes. lol

I'm not watching because I believe Ford is going to win and want to delay that. Going out later today to vote for the only other party that has a chance to win.

I'm a bit grumpy that NDP will never get (at least in my area) in but here we are.

~~The only place you can buy their stuff in CAD is on Amazon and~~ I've deleted my amazon account for what they did in Quebec. ~~They may be in Canada but they're making it hard for me to support them.~~

I was wrong, they are 100% Canadian and you can buy in CAD on their website.

looking for advice (lemmy.ca)

So, I'm pretty new at soldering and I'm looking for some advice on how to not ruin a via while removing solder...

I was trying to remove the solder from a original Xbox 1.0 motherboard and I burnt the shit out of a via and caused issues with several others.

I was able to fix it and everything is working but I want to do better.

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/b2d04556-025e-404d-940d-886247cdb97c.jpeg

I used a pointed tip, flux, and added some of my own solder to the via. I then cleaned, added new flux, and used solder wick to remove the solder. Some points, would NOT melt at all. I kept increasing the temp to 430°c and it finally melted and took everything with it.

Now, I know I fucked up and used too much heat. I probably should have used my rework station and a solder sucker but I JUST got the rework station and didn't want to popcorn the OG Xbox board... The solder wouldn't stay melted long enough from my iron for the sucker to work so I used wick.

Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I've found an update file but the base game doesn't seem to be anywhere I have access to.

Ottawa G2 driver clocked driving 160 km/h on Highway 417 (ottawa.ctvnews.ca)

Ontario Provincial Police in Ottawa caught a novice driver reaching speeds of 160 km/h on Highway 417 on Sunday morning.

An OPP spokesperson said officers stopped the G2 driver shortly before 9:30 a.m. near the Kanata Avenue exit.

The speed limit in the area is 100 km/h.

"This speed is never okay, but even more dangerous when you're an inexperienced driver," OPP said on social media site X.

The driver was charged with stunt driving and received an automatic 30-day driver's licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impound.

If convicted, they will face a minimum $2,000 fine, six demerit points and a one year driving suspension.
