  Maybe we should reanimate John MacDonald. Not to be a politician or give him any legitimate power (for obvious reasons), just give him a bat and make him a CN lobbyist.

  Surely we’d get our rail soon.

  “Iguanadon” (my favourite) and “Coelophysis” are also mispelled

  Simple. It’s theirs when it works and yours when it doesn’t.

  At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?

  Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don’t understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.

  Maybe I’m just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?

  But if I call them that, people will think I’m talking about the Conservative Party of Canada (who also go by CPC).

  Artificial General Intelligence

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This might not be universal, but here it doesn’t even require it.

  Back in 2017, Uber tried to expand to my home province and tried to get us to change our local regulations regarding rideshare (it boiled down to Uber being required to call its drivers employees and to function like the pre-existing taxi services).

  Local government doesn’t budge, so Uber decides that it doesn’t want to come anymore. Within the year, a local alternative pops up that complies with the regulations Uber tried to fight, and they’re still profitable 6 years later.

  It’s not that Uber isn’t capable of paying their employees living wages, it’s that they can earn more money if they don’t.
