I've been checking for the Flatpak daily 😭

This is where you can track the issue

"If I don't personally understand it, and it might change the way I do/view things, must be a conspiracy"

Wilful ignorance

Second best is a local grocer.

Yeah I shop at my local Asian supermarket. Family run, and so much cheaper than the nearby Loblaws or even the farther No Frills.

Another shitty thing about Plexamp is there is no easy way to download your entire library in a converted format and auto download any new additions.

The developer said that "this is not the intended use of Plexamp", but the reasoning is flawed IMO

The only thing keeping me on Plex is iOS downloads supported natively.

The second Swiftfin gets that I will be switching fully to Jellyfin

Unless Plex adds something new and exciting that pushes them beyond FOSS offerings

Yeah, I have a Grandpa in the same boat - older "conservative", but is disgusted by what the party has decided to embrace: climate change denialism, fear-mongering, rage-baiting, anti-LGBTQ, anti-science, weirdly pro-Russia for some reason? etc.

Not trying to view the past with rose-coloured glasses, but even looking at the past 10 years you can see and feel a sharp directional shift of the CPC towards regression.

I am a Liberal through and through, but it would honestly be refreshing if Conservatives just wanted to debate tax policy, spending, and free market economics instead of actively spreading misinformation and hate.

We need a sort of "internet enlightenment" era where we re-calibrate humanity back towards reason and empathy.

As much as I like my Steam Deck, replacing the battery is not as easy or clean as it should be because of the glue.

Yes I know there's a reason they glued it, and yes its good that it is "user replaceable" to some extent, but I hope this pushes for easier replacement in the future.

I would imagine that the battery cell manufacturers also play a role here, although I have absolutely no way to back this up so take it with a grain of salt. Because 99% of consumer mobile devices have glued in batteries, it is likely that Li-ion manufacturers have adjusted their supply chain to accommodate and make it less expensive for device makers to buy batteries that need to be glued. So it would be reasonable to assume if more companies need to switch to easily replaceable (read: not glued), the suppliers would shift to accommodate and stay competitive.

Interesting article let's read through...

In fact, according to odds on FanDuel, the Tories are favoured to win the next election at -143 while Trudeau’s Liberals sit at +110.

Ahhhh, Toronto Sun back at it again with the hard hitting journalism. Disgusting and disingenuous crap, glad The Star avoided the Postmedia merger

O'Toole didn't want to piss off the far right viewpoint that was growing, Poilievre actively panders and encourages them.

I don't want to make general statements, but Canadaland did a podcast on the horrible injustices within the Thunder Bay Police force.

One example of some pretty messed up stuff.

For anyone looking for a chair that doesn't want to spend >$1000 or get a gaming chair, I recommend looking for an office furniture reseller in your area.

There are a lot of shops that buy used furniture from companies either going out of business or moving.

I was able to get a new Steelcase for like half the price, still had its tags and packaging. Granted this was during covid where a lot of businesses were dumping their in-office supplies, but still worth a look.

Yeah they are all super obvious, but I repeat them all even if I think most people would already know them by now.

Leave no opportunity for intentional deception (ex. Doug Ford) or innocent misunderstanding (people who just don't follow this stuff).

 

I noticed this Wealthsimple Community pop up in my "active" list today.

Clicked in and noticed its empty, but the sidebar contains a sneaky affiliate link for the moderator of that community.

Same thing with the Wealthsimple Trade Community.

I think this sort of activity should be banned from here tbh, definitely at the mod level.

 

Approaching the 10 year anniversary of when Bell, Rogers, and Telus joined forces in a smear campaign against Verizon.

It worked and Verizon pulled out from their proposed Canadian entry.

The site has been taken down but the internet archive has a good history of it.

Highlights include this open letter to the prime minister begging to not allow the competition.

Aged so beautifully 🥰
