yardy_sardley,

Flanagan is the one who called the police and deserves all the vitriol he’s getting for it. I think it’s also important to remember that the President is appointed by, and reports to the Board of Governors, who have a similarly ghoulish track record over the past 5 years. The top brass of this institution is all rotten and is only getting worse by the day.

yardy_sardley,

I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn’t be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.

yardy_sardley,

Did nobody else’s CS department require a bunch of linear algebra courses? A vector is an element of vector space.

yardy_sardley,

She zeroed in on journalism schools and her thoughts that not enough conservative journalists and commentators have come out of those programs.

That has nothing to do with federal funding and everything to do with the current version of conservatism being completely idiotic.

yardy_sardley,

Magpies are the bird equivalent of that person everyone thinks is hot as long as they don’t say anything

Poilievre won't commit to keeping new social programs like pharmacare (www.cbc.ca)

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a fiery speech Thursday that depicted the government’s latest budget as a threat to the country’s future, and suggested a number of new social programs will get a second look if he leads the next government....

yardy_sardley,

Right? He can just smugly munch on an apple while thinking of low-iq rhetorical questions to interject with, and that’s the entirety of his politics. That’s all it takes to become champion of the reactionaries.

yardy_sardley,

Honestly, huge shout out to the wave of enshittification crashing through Google and reddit and forcing me off their platforms. Decade-long debilitating addiction solved.

New York Criminal Defendant Already Being Real Pain In Ass (www.wonkette.com)

(Trump lawyer Alina Habba — the one who fakes smart — argued on Fox News last night that this is a denial of Trump’s “due process” rights. Needless to say, LOL no. Habba also bellyached that Trump’s lawyers won’t get Passover off, because “Observant Jews have a right to go and pray to who they want and observe...

yardy_sardley,

I kinda feel bad for the kid. I would absolutely hate if someone tried to use me as an excuse to get out of a huge mess of their own making. Sure, it sucks to not have your family there, but it’s not by the judge being “evil”. Trump engaged in criminal behaviour and that’s fully on him.

This might even be a good thing, now Barron can do one thing in his life without having his unscrupulous father show up and cause a disturbance.

yardy_sardley,

That’s a massive blunder. There is about 0 chance the Cons are serious about finding “alternative plans” for climate policy. If they were, they wouldn’t be asking the likes of Danielle “blanket ban on renewables” Smith and Doug “let’s just develop the greenbelt” Ford for their ideas. Furthermore, if they think this tax is too much of an imposition on Canadians, then that rules out essentially all other forms of climate action, because the tax is one of the most conservative policies possible.

I’m not saying the carbon tax is perfect by any means, but up to the present, nobody opposed to it has been able to come up with a better idea, or even much of a coherent argument against it. I don’t know what the NDP are gaining from this deal, but I can’t see it being worth all the trust and credibility they had to concede.

yardy_sardley,

The amount of effort spent whining about this tax on a national level is probably more than it would take to solve the damn climate crisis.

People will do just about anything to avoid the tiniest bit of self reflection.

yardy_sardley,

This is a critical juncture for the direction of our housing market, specifically in Edmonton. House prices are relatively sane at the moment, thanks to a combination of staying ahead of the curve on building houses, forward-thinking urban development, and the lack of any real draw for people to want to live here. Calgary’s market is beginning to inflate and it’s only a matter of time before people get priced out and have to settle for Edmonton.

It’s really important that we continue to be forward-thinking and deliberate with new development, so as to keep prices manageable while fostering a healthy urban fabric. I know everyone in the country is dicks out for fast and cheap housing development, but relying on infinite suburban sprawl is a really, really bad idea. Let’s use what we’ve learned from the mistakes of previous generations and do it right this time

yardy_sardley,

“We haven’t seen any real justification on why an important and essential American industry is being targeted for tax increases”

What a glorious quote. It’s got everything. A dismissive head-in-sand style approach, leading into a self-aggrandizing appeal to nationalism, followed by a flimsy attempt to claim victimhood.

If you have nothing better to do with excess cash than turn it directly into air pollution in the most wasteful way possible, then I think it should be fair game. The working class should have first dibs on the wealth they produce.

yardy_sardley,

Not OP but I read somewhere that 20% of mammal species are bats. So you’re probably right.

yardy_sardley,

Yeah, the even numbered seasons didn’t draw me in quite the same as the odd ones. Still a fantastic show altogether

yardy_sardley,

We’re trying that in Canada right now, and it’s making a lot of people very angry.

Those people are ignorant and wrong, but they’re loud enough that even parties on the left are saying “maybe we should try something else.”

It is really interesting to think about how we built our entire society around gas being insanely cheap. You can buy a gallon of it for $3, which is as much as you would pay for a large cup of coffee in most places, something which we have essentially an infinite supply of.

yardy_sardley,

I second the wayland option. Then you at least have a working gui with all your settings and recent work intact while you try to find the glitch in your Xorg install.

yardy_sardley,

Car-centric city building took off in the late 1940s, and like many, many other cities, Saskatoon decided to dismantle their streetcar system in favour of having a couple extra lanes for car traffic.

yardy_sardley,

This is great, now the curmudgeons of other countries can stop using “what about China” as an excuse for their backwards climate attitudes.

yardy_sardley,

I’ll probably get bodied by a massive SUV while cycling

Can’t upvote this enough, made my jaw drop when I first saw it

3 landlords among largest real estate holders in Ontario owe $144M, under bankruptcy protection: documents (www.cbc.ca)

A small group of landlords who own hundreds of rental properties across the province have run out of money, owe over $144 million in unpaid loans and face dozens of lawsuits from creditors, according to documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice....

yardy_sardley,

2 things keep landlords from being an infinite money glitch: morality and stupidity. Somehow I doubt these folks are afflicted by the first one.

Time to sell the properties and get a real job, damned leaches.

yardy_sardley,

Have you ever wondered what that random family living in your house is always so freaked out about? Maybe try going towards the light.

yardy_sardley,

You know a conspiracy theory is psychotic when it presumes a massive multi-billion dollar corporation would manipulate consumers into supporting their left-wing agenda.

They’re obviously doing it for the money.

yardy_sardley,

I tend to think about it as density. Smaller chunks can be more tightly packed together, and are therfore more dense. As long as there is a way for the stuff to flow (i.e. shaking the bag), gravity will pull denser stuff to the bottom.

What is a distro with updates of Arch but dependencies of Fedora?

I am currently using EndeavourOS, but am annoyed by the constant daily updates of 1GB and pacman not installing important dependencies automatically (ex: spell checker for document editor). I like the way Fedora works: you update whenever, important dependencies are downloaded automatically, and packages are recent-ish, but I...

yardy_sardley,

There’s openSUSE tumbleweed. It’s rpm based like fedora and it’s rolling-release like arch. I don’t know what the 3rd party/nonfree software situation is like. Maybe someone else can chime in on that front.

I will add, as an arch user, I think you could easily tweak your current system to be less annoying with the updates, but I realize that’s not the question you’re asking so feel free to disregard that.
