That’s where I would break all windows.

Don’t know anything Canadian specific, but there’s a list of services hosted in Europe: https://european-alternatives.eu/

Lots of these should have options hosted in Canada if that’s important to you.

The right to not self incriminate is universal among democracies. The 5th amendment is even on the weaker side of the right. For example, in lots of European countries there’s a specific guarantee that silence can not be used to make negative inferences against the accused, and the accused might even have the right to lie and destroy evidence (with some limitations).

Despite all the talk about logic and discovery, Vulcans (at least when well written) are mostly motivated by fear. Even their strong adherence to logic is motivated by what they perceive as their violent nature because of their past.

I think that starting to move past that is why T’rina is less “robotic” than TOS and TNG era Vulcans, and why she’s actually more logical than most Vulcans we saw.

Careful, every time someone mentions star Wars being stuck on the same 20 years, paramount reboots Kirk’s timeline.

Here’s a fixed set of approved combinations

Are you also assuming that the idi… fine individuals that decide the content policy have any idea how Facebook works?

The problem for American tech companies is that they didn’t even try to move to stage 2.

OpenAI is hemorrhaging money even on their most expensive subscription and their entire business plan was to hemorrhage money even faster to the point they would use entire power stations to power their data centers. Their plan makes about as much sense as digging your self out of a hole by trying to dig to the other side of the globe.

As much as there were parts of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and even the Soviet Union that preferred to be part of Germany than part of the country they were in 1939.

SNW explicitly says that the timeline is always in flux because of time travel.

Ordoliberalism and Christian Democracy are both clearly right wing ideologies and both defend basic social programs like universal healthcare.

Christine Lemmer-Webber (the lead author of the ActivityPub standard) published an article explaining why bluesky is not truly decentralised and how it is different from activitypub.

Understanding how software is made, and what are best software engineering practices to make stable software only makes hate AAA studios that release overpriced crashy messes even more.

Since Star Trek shields can survive being inside a star’s corona, I doubt anything from Star Wars, with the possible exception of the Death Star, would even rattle the ship.

That was already covered in Star Trek canon: https://youtu.be/oLGDKVJlqL0

Except other works, both in sci-fi and fantasy, managed to solve the problem by either having the collective form an agent to act as a spokesperson or just have a random member of the collective speak - with the mandatory scene where someone shoots one of them and another finishes the sentence.

Mandatory copypasta:

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

Is this the same as, “fuck standards, pay for a walled garden, and promote crypto-scams” proton? I’m shocked 😮

Oh no, poor Zuckerberg, what is going to do after he’s fired? He has no marketable skills at all.
