I think they are trying to directly copy amazon’s model. I mean, having an online storefront with Canadian products is cool, but that alone is not likely to catch on and be profitable. I think it’s one step in a much bigger plan.

Imagine if CPC sets up a warehouse in every major city across the country stocked with all the products listed on their storefront. Then they can fast-track local items into the mail stream as orders come in, or even have a separate fleet of delivery drivers just for that purpose. The new collective agreement already has carveouts for that type of position.

The ultimate goal would be to offer same-day delivery and start eating into prime’s market share.

There’s a kiosk-style compositor called cage that would work, at least for your main concern.

Then maybe use waypipe over ssh to do your work in the background. Alternatively, you can research setting up a multi-seat display manager, but I think you would need at least 2 GPUs to implement that properly.

I think I agree. Still in the period when facebook’s userbase was mostly teenagers, and before smartphones became ubiquitous.

In my opinion it was facebook buying instagram in early 2012 that signalled the beginning of the end. Of course they were only following in the footsteps of google and yahoo before them, but it was the first domino in the enshittification of social media specifically.

Don’t let your memes be dreams! Just a few more decades of smoking and you might be able to collect all the health conditions irl too

Honestly, throwing money in the pond would probably work. Specifically pennies. Dissolve enough copper and you’ll have a vivid blue reflecting pool that also happens to be toxic to algae (and most other life forms).

The one resident is right. Cars are currently forced to drive through the residential area, and this lane would solve that problem. I think it’s a better use of funds to reduce noise, toxic dust, and risk of injury in Riverbend than to try and convince people who choose to live 20km away from the city centre to take transit.

I wouldn’t trust the analysis either; luckily most PKGBUILD scripts are quite short and simple. It would take significantly less effort to hand-audit every single file I’ve gotten from the AUR than it would to reinstall Arch.

The gutenprint package might have the driver you need. Otherwise, the AUR is your best option.

The way its head tilts forward after the first stumble, it almost makes it look embarrassed. Very nearly made me feel bad for laughing as hard as I did.

Sterling Archer.

Kinda sad how our armed forced are that dependent on US tech. Like yeah it’s E2EE, but it gives the US the ability to brick our communications if they really want to.

Surely the CAF has the resources to spin up their own secure xmpp service or something.

I’ll tell you exactly why the NDP would support it. Because the NDP supports labour.

It’s an inefficient luxury service

It’s a level of service that used to be bog-standard. Fighting for service cuts to avoid paying a couple extra bucks on the tax bill, and opening the door for extremely shitty and exploitative private entities to pick up the slack – that’s pretty much the boomer legacy in a nutshell.

To be clear, I don’t have an issue with community mailboxes. It’s the political context that makes this worth arguing about.

I thought Mark Kurlansky sounded familiar so I just looked and yup, he wrote Salt: a World History. I adore that book, but I haven’t really looked into any of his other work yet. What else would you recommend by him?

Unfortunately, I think gathering contact info for the purpose of organizing/asking for donations is one of the main forces driving this thing. You’re probably not going to find an official party-sanctioned platform that doesn’t require a decent amount of personal info. Your best bet is to stick to unofficial communities like this one.

We used internet comments as one of the ingredients.

Ford said that would run contrary to a free market.

“There’s no better way of letting people get lower costs on no matter if it’s cars or homes or groceries, than competition”

Nothing like a good old price-fixing scheme between friendly oligarchs to really affirm the spirit of competition.

I’ve met 7th graders with a better understanding of economics.

I used Opus 4.6 Extended

Stop being cheap, OP. You clearly just need to shell out multiple billions of dollars for access to mythos /s

This song is so big in my part of the country it’s hard to believe it’s not an international hit. Good nomination!

If this is the type of person the Liberals are able to convince to join them, I shudder to think about what’s in store for us under a Carney majority.

Corey Perry’s team has lost in the stanley cup finals 6 years in a row*. He’s back on the Lightning this season and they’re looking strong. I predict the curse continues.

* ok technically the streak was broken in 2023 when Tampa got bounced by the Leafs, but the fact the Leafs won a playoff series at all makes that season such a historical aberration it deserves an asterisk.
