The thing I find nuts is that "woke" just seems to be short for "keeping my nose in my own business and treating people who are just trying to live their lives with dignity and respect."

Wild how much they're against basic human decency

He should have never gotten in to begin with, but this brain-dead province voted him in thrice and will probably be more than happy to bend over and take it again and again as many times as its offered, all while blaming Kathleen Wynne who was a drop in the bucket in comparison.

You can absolutely rice your GRUB install. I haven't used it in a hot minute, but I definitely had ones in the past that were themed.

I dunno, I went to college and the first thing they did was give me the book list... Felt like sitting down to a game of poker and buddy across the table just shows their whole hand 😂

Obviously in school you'd have the benefit of a teacher to assist you when you need help understanding things, but you could potentially also get that through message forums and the like.

Sure not everybody has the drive for self study, and I'm sure some topics get much more complex in university... But college at least felt like a total waste of my time and money. Just wish I knew at the time that employers would care so much about a piece of paper instead of making people prove their skills instead lol

I don't even get why CS degrees exist in the first place... It's not like the text books, computers, or programming languages are walled off or difficult to get. I really wish companies would stop putting so much weight on papers and start focusing more on actual competency.

People need to start asking companies why they are including features on things that they can't afford to maintain.

Why did Nintendo include a "C" button that they're forcing users to pay for after they already bought the controller? Maybe they should charge more for said controller or remove the button instead?

Conversely, Nintendo's switch is occupying space in people's homes... How do these people go about charging Nintendo a monthly rate for the space they occupy (and the power they need to operate/charge, and a monthly user fee for the people to play on Nintendo's device). If we don't own them, we should really be charging Nintendo for the privilege of having their things in our homes and being used right? Goes both ways

Yup. iPhones were interesting when they came out, but I wasn't a fan of how they were essentially pocket computers that you had no control over.

Android came and solved that problem.... And now Google is trying to make Android into another iOS.

I'm seriously considering a dumb phone for my next device unless we have an affordable option for a Linux phone, because I have little faith that Android will still be worth my while in another 5-10 years.
