- Comment on Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 1 day 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 3 weeks 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?
- Comment on PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News. 3 weeks ago:
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

There are some tools that can make Linux feel more like at home too for those who want to transition slowly

- Comment on I got hooked on browsing openalternative.co is "Most Popular" list 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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

- Comment on gaming console 5 weeks ago:
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
- Comment on gaming console 5 weeks ago:
Why do they call it the Xbox 360? Because when you see it you turn 360° and walk away

- Comment on Left 4 Dead creator teasing new four player co-op shooter 1 month ago:
I did enjoy it but I only maybe put 10 hours into it or so. I think it tried to be more than L4D with all the perks/cards or whatever but IMO people just want a zombie survival game you can spontaneously jump in and out of with some friends
