we’ve got pineWatch so why not pebble? PineWatch is OK but it’s.not pebble. It was an amazing low tech that was actually extremely useful

she’s following into Harris’ footsteps. Courting conservative voters… bad move

My opinion is that of the two Postres is more “adult”. So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you’re serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it’s a ROI game - what’s more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no “better” or “worse” there’s “feasible” and “prohibitive” 😉

right wing learned to consolidate (US, Alberts, and now… BC with Libs just plain converting to Con) Left does not and under present electoral system Left will be in disadvantage in perpetuity. (I know Libs are not left, but they are further Left than Cons)

I didn’t say that either 😉 However there’s plenty of evidence suggesting PP is on a winning trajectory and NDP having abysmal chances of winning either majority or form minority government

“are you a chicken Marty? Are you?” jeez… so mid-to-highschool 🤦

Inrespect Charlie, but presently NDP is doing poorly countering PP ascendance

we can only hope fb implodes sooner rather than later. I personally know multiple people working there who are very decent human beings who need to pay bills. I just hope their current trajectory will force employee action and paralyze fb long enough to hurt. Unlike other places it’s not so simple to just hire a load of IT professionals and have any meaningful results short term, esp. if they have not been ramped up to speed by their colleagues. So it’s not impossible, bowever tolerance threshold is kind of high for any action to take place. Wads of cash, unpaid mortgages and all. Employees of big tech are truly living in gold cages…

that was a weasely answer. Now imagine PP at the helm dealing with full-on US onslaught… will he really stand up for Canada or just for pockets of few Canadians? Any sane politician would distance themselves from Musk, the un-elected human equivalent of genital cancer. While POTUS47 is covered in Teflon and will serve his full term Musk could fall out of grace at any moment making his endorsement rather undesirable for anybody.

Canada has “centrist” and right wing media outlets. It has virtually none (maybe tyee…) truly left-leaning ones.

Also, kind of content here may reflect folk views in general. Social media is mostly about echo chambers anyway…

I wonder whether alternative solutions were discussed: like Google retaining integration but breaking off Maps division into it’s own entity that has to use same API’s as everyone else and use the same integration points. Would’ve been more user-friendly thing to do.

it’s about “next PM” And Plolievre does qualify.

funny, on the same day we get a headline about Germany energy prices dipping into negatives mainly due to renewables… hmmm

US runs trillions in debt and even if for a second we assume US is 100x size of Canada, we’re still better off proportionally. Everybody, exhale. 😃

Liberals liberallybsupport corporations, Conservative conserve corporation’s money while NDP wants to get to power an playing “hard to get”… in other words right at this moment nobody truly stands for workers rights. NDP are the closest to even begin defending workers while the other two are good at playing to fears and paying lip service to workers. We’re not where US going to be come Jan, but we’re rapidly chasing them

the most dangerous assumption either camp is making is that AI is and end-solution. Whre 8n fact it’s just a tool. Like invented steam machines they can do a lot more than humans can but they are only ever useful as tools that humans use. Same here AI can have value as a tool to digest large chunks of data and produce some form of analysis providing humans with “another datapoint” but it’s ultimately up to humans to make the decision based on available data.

I’m not convinced what you run into is a specific podman issue. It’s a resource issue and configuration issue likely. “vanila” podman with proper rootless containers will run as much workload as machine can handle from my experience. My company costomers seem to be running production workloads with it just fine.

Oh wait, by rootless container you really meant running podman rootless? still don’t see an issue though. What specifically are you doing? I mean, what’s the configuration and what’s the workload?

“afford fewer and fewer things” needs correction: most “things” are being turned into “services” so people end up owning nothing and being forced to overpay for “service” they never asked for

you’d be one of few. Most people don’t mind compensating others for services, but when services turn to extortion and lock-in with sub-par digital content players piracy becomes a lot more attractive. Not many can afford 4-5 subscriptions (with Prime you need sun-subscriptions too) and all of it’s expense and complexity. Singular aggregate platform with a cost equaling today’s single subscription cost would probably eliminate good chunk of “piracy”. We can only watch so much in a day so given that streaming companies price things out and provision for that there’s no more impact on them if multi-service subscription costs the same as a single-service and it will reduce need for piracy, as it’s also a hassle to look for content and get all twitchy whether you going to get trojaned or swatted for doing so.

Based on experience south of border or in AB - all the dissent goes out the window and everybody falls in line come election time. I’d like to believe that any of the major Canadian parties has members genuinely caring for their constituencies but given our electoral system and governing system that is out the window as hyper-partisanship is a natural step in current system’s evolution. Parties prevent democracy by forcing their members to follow party line and not their electorate needs.
