  • I try to use Foss but only when it’s a lateral move. I tried Linux mint. It came close but there were so many little things that just didn’t make sense to me as someone who used windows for the last 25 years. Do I want to use Windows 11? No, especially with everything they’ve been doing to it. But in terms of usability, the sacrifices that I make by using Windows 11 outweigh the extra work, frustration, and time spent trying to figure out Linux (tried 3 different distros too).

    I have 3 little kids, a full time job and aging parents. I don’t have hours every day to try and make stuff work.
















  • The problem is when people say “financial losses” about services. Canada Post goes everywhere and is a service in our country. Much like healthcare and education. No one says “education profits are at an all time low and our hospitals have losses in the billions” because they are public services. These are things that as taxpayers, we value and use to make us a society

    Canada Post is not fucking FedEx or UPS and shouldn’t be held in the same regard as it.

    (this is not saying that they couldn’t be more efficient though, to this I have no comment that isn’t likely uninformed).
