  Will Canadian snowbirds come back?

  Unlikely. The USA was already quite hated in Canada for the arrogance and exceptionalism of its citizens but this whole thing has sort of sealed the deal for most people here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm not super familiar with Java, but does this mean Java edition is basically source available, or is it still compiled Java bytecode but with proper variable names?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales isn’t worried about Elon Musk’s Grokipedia: ‘Not optimistic he will create anything very useful right now’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you check it out, its not going to become that because it IS that. Its all AI rewritten articles from Wikipedia with Elon’s alt right biases applied. Some of the less political pages aren’t even really rewrites but just copy/pastes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really rated but out of curiosity, can you not train or fly? 7 hours of driving (assuming x2 for there and back) seems like a lot for an office party

  The metaverse was/is the stupidest thing ever. They couldn’t even sell it to the average person. I’m into tech but even I can barely describe what its supposed to be. Is it just VR? VR office work? 🤷

  that seems so out of place its kind of hilarious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Thanksgiving everyone!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, its always just celebrated on the weekend. Canadian holidays are set up so that even if a holiday isn’t on a weekday, we get the following Monday off anyway

  You should try running Windows XP while connected to the internet if you want to be sure about that

  To Microsoft's credit(?), do offer clippy as an option according to the video in the OP article

  Yeah at least in Canada, a landlord can't kick you out for having a pet so you just dont say anything :)

  I vaguely remember reading that naked mole rat colonies do something similar. They have a piss room that they all use and they'll make sure to roll around in it to get themselves coated in the smell. If they come across any other naked mole rats in the wild and they smell like different pee, they'll know they've run into a sworn enemy and fight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How does this work for countries outside of the US? Will Canadian and European TikTok get the propaganda too or will the US version be self contained?

  I hate that it needs repeatedly saying, but its not. Its just based in Germany which has very draconian speech laws relating to Israel and the admins don't want to be arrested

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got hooked on browsing openalternative.co is "Most Popular" list⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Less Microsoft and a native UI. Microsoft is already making it hard to use alternative releases of VSCode like Codium by restricting them from using their extension marketplace and things like Pylance (their newer more advanced Python LSP). Try to even download a .vsix extension from Microsoft's site - you can't because they don't offer the ability to anymore without VSCode

  Zed also openly integrates with LSP so you can use servers like basedpyright and get a more featurefull editor than Code

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got hooked on browsing openalternative.co is "Most Popular" list⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Number 1 is Zed but it's not actually an "AI editor", they're just leaning into it a bit for funding. Its a fully open source Rust editor made by the former Atom developers and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Microsoft's VSCode. On first startup, they offer you the option to fully disable any AI features

  Correct lol. It was a joke(?) that I remember being made a lot in online fights over whether the PS3 or Xbox 360 was better
