We try, although I wish more of our national identity was about actually being Canadian vs just not being American.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 1 week ago:
Meanwhile, pretty much every Jewish person I’ve met in Canada has been horrified by Israel’s actions and whole-heartedly support the Palestinian people.

If they aren’t talkin’ 151, I don’t wanna hear it.

Will they actually devote the resources to try to pierce the anonymity of those handful of people?
Given how rapidly they’ve been trying to tighten their grip lately? Yes. They want to know everything about everyone all the time. And they don’t give two shits if we consent to it.

PETA wants to shame the turkey’s entire bloodline by causing them to dishonourably die of old age. Why does PETA hate turkeys?
- Comment on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers 1 week ago:
I will never give YT music money since they killed off Google Play Music (a far superior music app) to make it.

- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 week ago:
It takes you back to the previous view in the stack. If that is a different app, then yes, it will do that, and that is the correct behaviour, same as when web browsing.

Android - provides a back button that has the same look, location and functionality system wide so that users don’t how to figure out how each individual application decide to implement (or not) go back functionality
Cousin Mose - the UI is attrocious.
Thanks for letting us know that no one should listen to your opinions on UI / UX ever lol
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
More likely if we can’t tell then it was always shit. AI can’t write good code for anything non-trivial.

I mean, a reasonable person would choose to stop rather than becoming an unethical egotistical fuckwit…
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
That’s the point though, the content IS legal. The game devs paid for the licence. PRS are trying to double dip saying you need a separate licence to distribute it too.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
The point is the studios WEREN’T offending. The music was licenced for the games. PRS wants to double dip by forcing Valve to also pay because they are distributing it.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
So remove all those games from Steam, the largest game market on the planet. I’m sure that will get more people wanting to use PRS stuff if they can’t distribute on Steam.
… fucking shakedown assholes.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, if this case doesn’t get thrown out before discovery, I’ll be shocked. Stores don’t licence music, the game devs do. If a game dev infringed, there is already a takedown process available to remove the content from Steam.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, the music was used under licence by the game developers. The plaintiffs want Steam to also pay them for a licence to offer the game, which is already legally using the music, on their store, which is absurd.
- Comment on Microsoft claims "2026 is the moment" for AI PCs, but its essay-length beginner explanation only creates more confusion — Is it any wonder adoption is slow? 4 weeks ago:
Eh, my current computer is a laptop where the screen only works at 60hz, but it’s default refresh rate is 120hz so I can’t actually see anything (such as the bios or boot options) until Windows has started and forced it back to 60hz. Otherwise I would have switched months ago.
- Comment on Don't we all hate this 4 weeks ago:
I think what they are saying is that they’d rather the burden be distributed equitably across the populace instead of placing the burden entirely on good people.
- Comment on Don't we all hate this 4 weeks ago:
It ends up being net zero. They’re only writing off the money you donated. They still have to count the money you donated towards their overall revenue, increasing their tax bill, but then they pass the donation on, allowing them to write it off, reducing their overall revenue (and thus their tax bill) to what it would have been if you hadn’t donated.

Cool, latch on the least important reason we did it and ignore the others while acting like you’re somehow superior for doing so I guess.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 5 weeks ago:
The wolves were driven off for a reason. They had a tendency to snack on pets, livestock and small children until they learned to fear us. Those issues all come back if they stop fearing us again.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 5 weeks ago:
I mean, kinda yes, kinda no. We generally weren’t hunting predators primarily for meat, but for community safety. The meat was a byproduct of not wanting a bear or something to decide our children would make for a tasty snack.

My next computer will be Linux because of all this nonsense. The only thing that was keeping me on Windows was gaming, and Valve has solved that issue for every game I play via Proton. Sayonara MicroSlop!
- Comment on Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI 5 weeks ago:
Aircraft wings operate on pretty much the same principle as bird wings do. We just used a technology we had already developed (fans, essentially) to create the forward movement necessary to create the airflow over the wings for lift. We know how to do it the bird way too, but restrictions in material science at scale make the fan method far easier and less error prone.
- Comment on 'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman 5 weeks ago:
For a modern military, in a general sense, yes, the F35 is the best currently. Mostly due to it’s software and sensor suite which have a much larger impact on mission performance. It’s built to an assumption of US support, which means good runways and resilient supply lines. Russian fighters are out for the same reason US fighters should be out right now (can’t trust the government).
Canada is looking for new fighters, where I think the Gripen is actually better than the F35 for our specific use case (almost entirely defensive, rough runways in arctic conditions that the F35 struggles with, need for lower maintenance requirements due to manpower and budget issues). The Swedes deal with the same conditions we need a fighter for, plus they offered a full tech transfer to revitalize our aerospace industry and help achieve autonomy for operation of the Gripen.
