Dan Supernault has been hard at work making an open source, AGPLv3, soon to be ActivityPub Fediverse-linked shortform video service called Loops.

I guess I’m part of the group that eats out at least once a week: the $1.64 hot dog and pop.

Most government agencies in Canada use Microsoft or Google suite. Probably most companies in Canada as well. So it all adds up to revenue for big US tech.

That said a review is going on, and maybe the fact that potential alternatives exist will be mentioned for the first time.

I’m cautiously optimistic, I’m glad to see ample ambition from the feds to get involved.

My main concern is we have no clear picture of what the government’s idea of “affordability” they are aiming for.

Yep! The BC government also put through a major recruiting campaign in CA, OR, WA that directly targets doctors’ gripes about not being able to treat well due to insurance and the overall chaos coming from the Trump admin.

Many small communities on Vancouver Island are in desparate need of doctors, like Lake Cowichan was. (A nurse practitioner is for now preparing to keep the clinic open there, after some town council stumbling)

The island is beautiful, with plenty of nature but has the trappings of civilization in Nanaimo and Victoria available when needed.

Too busy watching Fox propaganda videos at the Krispy Kreme.

You can upgrade ^{and also agree to the Windows 11 Terms and Conditions} or you can THROW AWAY YOUR PC!!!

Paradox’s modus operandi is to put everything in DLC after DLC package. It’s worked sometimes in the past (for the publisher, developers and end users) but when “base-game” releases have been so half-baked due to publisher time pressures in recent years, gamers have gotten tired of having to pay more to get the full game version of the game right around the release date.

https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/steam-drops-windows-7-and-8-support-with-the-latest-client-users-told-to-update-to-a-more-recent-version-of-windows-to-continue-gaming

When 7 and 8 support was fully dropped (where the newest Steam client requires 10 or above to run at all), Steam clients on older OSes were not updated automatically. It’s only if you manually try to update the launcher, it would “brick” your installations.

I agree that GOG’s method will stand the test of time better (as we wouldn’t have to archive specific versions of Steam), but for those with existing setups you aren’t SOL right away when support ends.

Interestingly this instalment is made by Sonic Team, when the previous racing ones were made by Sumo Digital.

That all said, those celebrating Kirk’s death are as much simply expressing themselves as Charlie Kirk was, when he was denigrating immigrants and those that didn’t fit the ideal Aryan description

And we should also publicly denounce people threatening journalists and professionals like Rachel Gilmore, who had been simply lamenting the appetite for escalation that would come from those seeking retribution, but this was wildly interpreted as a celebration and now is facing a constant barrage of death threats. Which only proved her point btw.

There was two mentions of Charlie Kirk, in a speech that I’d say was focused on condemning political violence, in a mostly non-partisan way. I’d like to think that in Canada we’re above using weapons to prove a point. If we need to beat back the intolerant we’ll do it in an enormous show of non-violent force like Torontonians just did at Christie Pits.

Anyway the speech is what I’d expect from a Conservative, but it’s nuanced enough that I get behind the primary message being conveyed.

And if she doesn’t wish to be, despite ample opportunity to, then let’s respect that.

Public shaming works.

Listen, as much as I do find Ben Meiselas and MTN very sensationalized and it’s hard for me to listen to them for long periods of time, I do think Mr. Angus is right to team up with them and lead the Canadian branch of Meidas.

The fact that you see him annoyingly often means that some Canadians that were completely unaware of the resistance movement will come across it and consider it.

Of course, we can all have our little gatherings on how the world should really be, in Gastown, Kensington Market or Le Plateau but without reach it is very difficult to be a nationally coordinated social movement.

When Fox News and corporate billionaire backed media dominate the airwaves and stories, the message that resistance is possible is easy to cover up, if the speakers of it aren’t coordinated. To illustrate, Ben Meiselas got an interview with California Governor Newsom. So did Charlie Kirk (may he rest in piss). Without some functional equivalent of a left-wing Fox News, right-wing propaganda is going to take all the airtime.

Not even just Mexicans, but Mexican-looking people (aka Latino).

But it’s not just license to hunt Latino looking people either. The stay was not on that population specifically. The stay was on arresting people on the suspicion based off of any of these henious criminal factors:

• Existing while non-white (this can include Black/African/Caribbean, East Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Native Americans)
• Waiting for a bus
• Looking for work
• Working at a car wash, a recycling centre or on a farm
• Speaking English with a foreign-sounding accent
• Speaking Spanish (which could be any langauge to a cop that can’t tell foreign languages apart)

No visible minority is safe from this.

Now we’re talkin’.

“Depolarize the Situation” is a three word slogan, but too many syllables to be adopted by Poilievre.

If Nintendo can abuse the US patent system, it would seem fair for individuals to be able to freely infringe Nintendo’s copyright.

(Note if you are making a Nintendo fan-project, DON’T ANNOUNCE ANYTHING until you get your first usable build ready for release!!!)

Very next paragraph:

In addition, CBC News has learned Carney will also name additional projects that are at an earlier stage and require further development, but could be part of the next wave for consideration:

• Wind West Atlantic Energy, supporting wind power in Atlantic Canada.
• The Alberta-based Pathways Plus carbon capture project.
• An Arctic economic and security corridor.
• Upgrades to the Port of Churchill.
• All-weather road infrastructure in Northern Canada.
• The Alto high-speed rail corridor between Toronto and Quebec City.
