My interpretation: they're so invested in this not being climate change that they grasp at any other interpretation. They've tied their political identities to climate change denial, so when something is obviously caused by climate change (i.e. forest fires blanketing a continent in smoke, which never happened for hundreds of years and is now happening repeatedly in a single decade), they instead decide that the problem must be "forest management" or some shit. They have to blame Canada so they can continue the fossil fuel grift.
I'm no longer sure what point you're trying to make, but I don't think I'm disagreeing with you. As MrEff described, and as you quoted, an underprivileged person might choose to hold the bag even if they have all the information because it's the best chance they could get. And as I quoted, an underprivileged person might not have all the information. Both of these things can be true, and both show ways that whole classes of people can be mistreated.
women executives are likelier than men to accept glass cliff positions because they do not have access to the high-quality information and support that would ordinarily warn executives away.
Sounds like it has similar goals to bcache (not bcachefs) and LVM caching, except that it operates in userspace instead of at the kernel level. Can you explain what the benefits are of keeping this out of the kernel?
What an odd thing to do. Does the gang genuinely think they can intimidate the Abbotsford police department? Did they consider that this would make police put more resources toward stopping them? Could they think themselves very clever and be using this to direct police resources away from other activities that they care about more?
I can't see what the gang had to gain by sending this letter. It's foolish to assume your enemies are foolish, but on the other hand, criminals are not known for their intelligence.
Okay, I didn't know those were things you were concerned about :).
On the lack of self-hosting and federation, I don't like it either, but it is a deliberate choice to allow faster evolution. That post, from ten years ago, contends that federated protocols ossify too easily, while centralized can grow and adapt (relevant quote: "So while it’s nice that I’m able to host my own email, that’s also the reason why my email isn’t end-to-end encrypted, and probably never will be"). This does give me concern that Signal will not last in the long-term, but for secure communication right now, it's hard to beat.
As for US hosting, that's another thing I don't like, but they are structured to mitigate that issue. Their protocol, which has been independently audited several times, ensures neither the Signal Foundation nor any intermediaries can see user activity. They have been subpoenaed before, and have only been able to provide the date a phone number was first registered, nothing more. And since the Signal Foundation is a non-profit, they have no incentive to enshittify to turn profitable. So even under US government threat, they can't see what you're doing and have no ability nor reason to change that.
Anyway, that's why I settled on using Signal, despite its imperfections. You may be happier with Matrix; I stayed away from that because it's more work and less secure (as I understand, group chats only have message content encrypted, with metadata like users and message times being unencrypted), but its federated nature may let it outlast Signal. And there are many Matrix clients in F-Droid that don't require Google Play Services.
Or more precisely, Signal will only use fallback notification services if Google Play Services is unavailable at the time Signal is installed.
I just wanted to clarify that it's not necessary to install Signal once with Play Services and again without. I've never had Play Services on any of my phones, but was able to start using Signal without issue.
Signal does not need Google Play Services to send notifications. I'm saying this from experience, as I use it without Play Services installed, and still get message notifications. I believe Signal will use Google's push notifications if Play Services is available, but has a fallback approach if it's not.
Another fun fact: official German spelling later changed "thal" to "tal" (both pronounced as a hard "t"), so now the valley is Neandertal, not "Neanderthal"
The slowness was not a tax on the real work; the slowness was the real work. It was how the work got good, and how the people producing the work got good
This line reminded me of a couple of articles, linked below, that I read on AI use in astrophysics. Developing junior researchers is a big part of the point of their work, so they really are going to have to limit their AI use to make sure development happens. But worry that industry won't care; they've been hollowing out junior positions for years, because there's no value in training a senior who is just going to jump ship to a company that doesn't train juniors. That's an existing problem, but AI seems likely to make it worse.
And that's only, like, the most basic part of an industrial e-stop. On top of directly disconnecting the energy source, it also has to include redundant circuits (since it's possible for a contactor to break and fail open, or weld and fail closed), and some even need to have signal pulses constantly going through them to actively confirm they haven't been pressed. They absolutely should not just send a signal to a Linux computer, because general-purpose operating systems are too complex to be rated for safety.
This isn't even my area of expertise yet I know this stuff. The fact that they failed at the very first requirement is really messed up.
I liked Buckminster Fuller and family's use of "sunsight" and "sunclipse". The way we talk about things affects the way we think about them, but pedantry is just annoying, so try on some neologisms instead.
It’s a forgejo instance. I don’t know why they don’t just say that.
They do say that. Has the article changed since you read it?
That’s why the Open Source Program Office (OSPO), a division within the Ministry of the Interior, has chosen to opt for Forgejo.
They don't say it up front because it's not too relevant to the article. The key fact is that the government is getting off of Github, not the technology they're switching to, so that's what goes in the headline.
My main use is as an SSH client. My next most common use is pass (with the password store synchronized via a Syncthing app, outside of termux). And one more I enjoy is pdftk for basic PDF editing operations (e.g. split, merge, remove passwords); that's been useful at work where it seems like no one's got PDF editors installed on their computers already.
Remember the leadership “vote” he recently passed was based on the votes of people who paid ~$1500 to be there
Also worth noting it was held in Calgary and all voters had to physically be there. So voters were Calgarians with enough money to get in, and people from the rest of Canada with enough money to get in and enough money/time to travel there.
Since you're alive enough to post here, I don't think you're from that community. Note the first three letters are for "missing and murdered Indigenous", and the rest are modifiers from that. As I understand, Leah Gazan is using this initialism as an expansion of "MMIWG", not as an expansion of "LGBTQ+". She is highlighting that the "ongoing genocide" she refers to is not solely of Indigenous women and girls, but also of gender-diverse Indigenous people.

My kid learned about Stardew Valley from a friend, so we've been into that. The split screen co-op has turned it into a great family activity.

Holy cow. I work in factories, and I know enough about industrial safety to know that would not fly.
