They are becoming the BC Liberals.

This government and their knee bending is making me regret being Canadian

Login with your mom 🤣

Complying with this shit is nuts.

Is there an Arch fork that is not implementing this shit or do I have to go non systemd now? Because this BS is not going on any of my machines.

Magic link is lazy 2fa.

Implement TOTP support, you lazy fucks.

Personally, I think this first response nails it.

Linux is not sold. So you either need to force users to install this on their systems, or go eat rocks.

Enterprise distros on the other hand… Need to do this.

Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.

This was more an exclamation of frustration at these numbers than any sort of name calling.

10/10, no notes on this reply. This is how I conduct myself in the real world. I just felt flabbergasted at seeing how strong conservative support is in the under 30 crowd.

I suspect there is also a factor of being terminally online on places like X and Ticktok

Why the fuck are so many young people too stupid to see through conservative lies?

Every banana in existence is in this picture.

Hahaha, Canada has so much booze. We have a ton of fine ryes and most of the best booze comes from the EU/UK anyway. We also get a lot of south american and Aussie wines.

We didn’t need the US, their booze was just cheaper. Then trump fixed that.

Anyone contributing to open source either does it:

• on their companies dime, which means they work for a rare company building open source solutions
• at the end of their day, on their weekend, or during their vacation

Most FOSS devs are in position two. By a large margin. They could be relaxing, or earning more money doing freelancing to make ends meet, but instead they are trying to build something they want to see happen. That requires focusing on the important tasks and that often means not having time to spend on poorly reported bugs that are actually users just not RTFM and opening issues. It wastes the devs time, and projects with too much of this have development stagnate and are frequently shuttered.

And devs that just do this to get a better job stop contributions once their new job takes over their life, and then the project suffers.

Users need to appreciate FOSS devs more because some of the most important projects we need in 2025 are developed only because they want to see them happen.

The conservative party is openly against indigenous rights so I’m not sure what your argument is here.

Unless you are arguing Alberta should be voting Green Party, in which case I’m with you.

Same. Hopefully they actually do something, and hopefully all the old folks don’t default to first past the post if we do vote on it like they did in BC, largely because they couldn’t be bothered to lean how any of the proportional representation options work.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government is increasing how much it costs to apply for a citizen-initiated referendum by 5,000 per cent, saying it’s about making sure applicants are upper class instead of annoying street urchins.

There; fixed it for ya, Danielle.

Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.

Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.

Mac, actually. Its a different kind of bad. At least I can use many of the same cli tools.

Its also trained on stolen data, artists work without their permission. AI training, even for the offline models, uses massive amounts of electricity and water and is currently accelerating climate around the world as well as unaffordability as demand for water and electricity cause prices to skyrocket. At the same time its accellerating the unaffordability of personal computing, including phones, and threatening to remove open PC hardware platforms by removing direct access to affordable DIY hardware.

On the other side of this, continued use and justification of LLMs existence is enabling the founding of mass surveillance and control systems that will be the foundation for totaltarian states, while at the same time enabling the rich to manipulate and control truth. And because of randomized token tie breaking, anything that comes out of it is only partially correct even when its one of the 30% of the times the reply is partially useful.

And - on top of all of that, you are nerfing your own skills and brainpower everytime you use it, in addition to having it do something for you that you could be learning yourself, which would have increased your existing skills while teaching you a new one.

AI is a horrible technology, doesn’t matter where you run it.
