I went to Vegas (from Canada) in November for a company convention sort of thing right after Trump got in and felt off about it then but like actual fuck I’d go now. My company is actually struggling to find somewhere to go next year since, while they’re a US based remote-first company, a LOT of their employees are outside of the United States.

Edit: It’s funny, I’ve noticed they’ve really seemed to prioritise hiring Canadian developers in the last few years. I’ve always wondered if it’s because they feel they can pay us less

I guess it’s mostly for their cell services to avoid SIM jacking and stuff. But I agree

I’m the opposite of both of you. The build quality is good and the OS is good. I love having a familiat UNIX system while also having a polished desktop environment that supports 4k scaling very well (though the polish has been lacking a lot lately)

The issue for me is the insane price of their computers and the fact that you can’t (officially) install MacOS on your own hardware. I have a Linux desktop and a MBP but I’d run MacOS on both if it was officially supported

Even ISPs do this where I am. You don’t have to utter anything specifically but if they detect your voice being drastically different from what they have on file, they’ll lock you out before you even talk to a real person. Not sure how I feel about it tbh

Not downplaying progress but damn it’s messed up that they were ever paid considering how cheap phone plans are. Social isolation is not supposed to be part of the “rehabilitation” process. Was ready to shit on the US here (as is our favourite pasttime) but apparently Canada’s doing this shit too…

I like WFH where there’s no dress code and pants are optional

Huh I guess replit pivoted hard into AI. I remember it just being a web IDE sorta thing

I have (and love!) Manor Lords! Admittedly I haven’t played it since it first came out though. Has the dev added more content? I remember later game feeling a bit directionless

Anno is the only series I can’t hold myself off from buying :(. Somehow it doesn’t actually feel like a Ubisoft game

Honestly, at first glance I kind of laughed at this thing but the more I think about it, the more I want it. I have an e-scooter that I don’t use often(I end up using rentals more often than not) just because I have to store it in my basement but this would fit by my door no problem

they want you to sit on a metal box

They’re super useful when running Proxmox. You can create an LXC container and have it booted to a shell in under a minute

Hahaha I didn’t know that but that is funny. Admittedly I’m not too big into hockey so I’ve got no gauge on how popular (edit: or unpopular 😅) the Sens are

I love Anubis just because the dev is from my city that’s never talked about (Ottawa)

Have you seen who’s running your health department

Whether he did it or not doesn’t really matter. He’s the face of it now so people are going to rally behind him. Plus, his treatment has been horrific regardless of his guilt

Reached for comment, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, said, “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of shit and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Very cordial and presidential

Damn I get mad when one of my prescriptions costs more than C$20

Yeah, my understanding is that companies generate this data and just sell it unprocessed to data harvesting companies who link it with other data they’ve been sold. Companies seeking targeted info can then request data with varying levels of depth.

Like a company may request a list of emails of users who are very good (or bad) about brushing their teeth everyday to target ads at

It makes me want to rip my hair out that we’re seeing nazism repeat itself but full-on stupid mode.
