do you even know what the EFF does?

Also, anyone can get “published”. It means nothing.

you mean like how you publish your comments all over the internet?

Yeah but also isnt it kind of insane that stuff get shipped back and forth between windsor and detroit just to add a few more parts each time?

Dude has worked at the EFF for a long time and is a published author. How is he not qualified to speak on copyright and IP?

only one of those two is stable genius!

sure nvidia is being a shitty and greedy public corp capitalizing on a massive tech bubble… stock price has to go up forever. nothing surprising here…

but jensen huang has been at the helm of nvidia for a long time the entire existence of nvidia and is undeniably a smart MF’er… and i’m not even some kind of nvidia fanboy.

AMD for life… and dr. lisa su is even smarter than cousin jensen. i just hope she doesn’t come out as a trump bootlicker as well

imagine being as smart as jensen huang and having to talk to a big orange baby…

trump’s circle is generally sycophantic morons like musk and zuck. jensen might actually be the smartest person trump has ever talked to

Same problem in toronto… We have a building called the SkyDome, but everyone misspells it Robbers Center…

Docker doesnt replace your current system. It just runs containers (which act like a separate system)

You can also try podman which wont silently rewrite your firewall rules without telling you… I’ll never forgive docker for doing that

lots of working class people are going to be hit with these capital gains taxes…

i am probably going to get hit by this tax increase and i’m not particularly wealthy. but i don’t care either way, if i’m taxed, then i’m taxed

my point is that there are bigger fish to fry, rather than going after dentists or whatever moderately wealthy people.

people online seem to think that anyone with a portfolio of investments is basically on the same level as galen weston…

Second, if you’re making $1M on capital gains in a year, you’re not upper middle class or lower upper class - or whatever ‘they’re not that rich’ argument you intend.

they really aren’t that rich in the grand scheme of things… they’re not buying off politicians, or sending armies of lobbyists to ottawa. they’re not propping up our monopolies and leaving toxic tailing ponds with millions in cleanup costs

i get it if people are really struggling and a cardiac surgeon or small business owner looks like a big bad rich person who needs to be taxed. but westons, rogers, and irvings in this country are happy to sit and watch while we go after these small potato rich folk while leaving them the continue pillaging the country

These taxes also catch, probably as they are intended to, people making 10 million or 100 million

anyone that rich has really good accountants and asset hiding schemes. they’re not paying taxes anyways.

i agree that the rich need to be taxed, but i don’t think taxing these rich people is what will solve most of our problems… taxing a few thousand rich people who made $1M on stocks or whatever is a drop in the bucket compared to our real problems.

what are the real problems? billionaire oligarchs plundering our country. what are the exact steps to fix the problem? i’m not smart enough to figure it out. but we can start by ending corporate handouts, or things like oil companies sticking us with the cleanup bill when the leave town. fix price gouging on groceries and telecoms. i think actions like these are going to have a huge impact on the prosperity of working canadians versus an increase in a capital gains tax on the moderately rich.

I’m simply sharing my own experience. It’s not a “shot in the dark”

There would likely be fewer signal users because a lot of normies only installed signal because one or two of their friends convinced them to. Once they figure out that interOp exists, why would they keep using signal (where only 2 or 3 of their paranoid weirdo friends hang out) when they could just use whatsapp to talk with their signal friends?

Ive had multiple people tell me that they only keep signal around because of me… While i’m flattered, it doesnt bode well for signal.

People trying Signal because it’s compatible with WhatsApp that everybody uses would lead to more Signal-to-Signal chats, and that’s a good thing.

75% of my signal contacts would delete signal and just use whatsapp if interOp happened… I’ve already slowly lost 1 or 2 contacts a year because i’m the only one they know on signal and they either gave up or forgot to reinstall when they got a new phone

All my important files are on a NAS, so if someone steals my laptop, there’s nothing of value there without being able to log in and mount the remote file systems

Tweet is from early december. Why is it blowing up now?

if you are on debian stable, there would not be updates to 300 packages (unless there were 300 packages with some security issue that needed a fix)

if you then decide to upgrade to the next version of debian, THEN you would have hundreds of packages to update

They are reconsidering this because libreoffice raised their hand and said they are still using secure transport

Cue my friends moaning about how the gov’t wont give them thousands of dollars of free money to buy a tesla

Meanwhile, where’s my free money for never contributing to gridlock, never causing potholes, never polluting the environment, etc.?

Pretty normal if you’ve never used debian.

Debian is the cure to distro hopping
