Perhaps the prime minister could take a moment out of his busy schedule to tell us what the fuck he was thinking if it’s anything other than “we’re absolutely desperate to make a deal and have no choice but to give them whatever they want.”

brb I’m just going to take a few minutes to go through my records and see if any of my recent upvotes need revising in light of your latest comment.

In Canada I assume the vast majority of the increase goes to corporate profits because that’s what our economy seems designed to maximise, but it’s also worth noting that world food prices are back up to levels not seen since the 1970s: https://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/foodpricesindex/en/

Yeah making jam is quite easy. Basically just add some sugar and pectin and put it on the stove until it’s jam.

Otherwise, put them in the freezer.

I assume they do sometimes have feelings but it’s pretty hard to imagine how people who’d agree to work for Palantir would feel about literally anything other than being highly paid which they presumably enjoy.

Huddled masses yearning to breathe free

Oh right, this one which the previous government had the decency to abandon after everyone pointed out the problems: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=d64e0f63-70d4-46ac-b9e4-709547d6c438

The bill allows the federal government to “secretly order telecom providers” to “do anything or refrain from doing anything… necessary to secure the Canadian telecommunications system”

I don’t know, there’s just something about it.

For a long time we had VGA for video cables. There was no VGA version 2.1.9, now supporting 1024x768 mode with 16-bit colour. Cables did not cost $29. There were no rent-seeking patent holders charging license fees, or at least they weren’t obnoxious enough that we knew about them. It didn’t have five different types of connectors. There was no VGA consortium constantly keeping itself in the news with periodic press releases. Companies didn’t need to sign away their soul to write drivers for it. There was no VGA copy protection trying to keep us from decoding our own video streams. Cables didn’t include enough microelectronics to power a space shuttle.

Somehow I think we could do better.

I have only one strict rule: I see the Moomin comic, I upvote it.

I hate HDMI with a passion that can not be explained.

The Premier suggested the structure would become a tourist attraction itself

If they build it to last, I can see it happening. 200 years from now, people will visit from all over the province to marvel at the massive concrete edifice — its glass facade long since shattered — standing as one of the few remaining structures to survive the water wars, a monument to the accelerating madness that took hold of the world in the early 21st century.

Gearing up for war, here we go. Well, I’m too old to get drafted. Good luck, kids.

The specific promises are for more prisons, “tougher” sentences, and more incarceration of people not yet found guilty. Perhaps that bit at the end will prove to be more than just pretty words, but this government hasn’t earned that much trust so far.

Don’t do it at this time of year.

For me it was when we all started having regular Satanic death metal sex parties, the left wing was pretty boring before that.

Sure, but don’t forget to include the basics such as the root name servers: Verisign(A), USC-ISI, Cogent, U of Maryland, NASA Ames, ISC, Defence Information Systems Agency, US Army Research Lab, Netnod, Verisign(J), RIPE, ICANN, WIDE

“encouraging” responsiveness to new legal guidance

i.e. they’ve been forced to stop one of the illegal things they were doing.

Similar things could be said about things like “real” and “official.”
