Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon’s business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.

Its actually a smaller one too. Those 5 1/4 HDDs could be 2 bays tall.

Because it targets his buddies Zuck and Besos.

Garter snakes are harmless, they run from you and don’t bite.

I respect your opinion, but I lived through 90s computing and think dongles died the death they deserve and these phone manufacturers can go to hell for bringing them back or thinking that bluetooth audio is good enough.

Additionally most of the droids I have bought that have a jack are the perfect thickness in my mind. Weighted enough to stay in my hand and take a couple dozen drops without accident. Plus the headphone jack is used as an antenna and provides radio capabilities so I can listen to local news instead of whatever the tech industry wants to feed me. Which is a nice option.

The only LLM I need is Dr. Sbaitso

But are they dependent on OPEC oil when they are buying Russia’s?

What’s for dinner tonight mom?

Unborn chicken.

It is, but it requires GPlay to operate and maintain your sub.

I switched to Subtracks when I dumped Google.

Still shit on my machine.

If we’re going to compare to specific states, then we should be comparing to specific provinces. How’s Alberta compare against other provinces, I wonder?

Go to the US and enjoy those living standards, ya twat. Danielle is a useless waste of flesh.

I have to contend with 70-80 year olds doing 30km in an 80 while swerving across the midline because they saw a bird across the street.

What I already see around me is more and more people moving their files and identities offline into home NAS and filesharing setups, like Nextcloud. Their conversations are moving to Signal, Mastodon, Lemmy, Nextcloud Talk, or just plain text. For now its the more technically savvy, but even non professionals with low levels of admin experience are reaching out and asking now, and non technical people are looking for access to those private resources.

The snowball isn’t big yet, but it is rolling. How far it goes and how big it gets, we’ll see.

However what surprises me is that this did not happen sooner and due to ads, but rather it is AI and the complete uphill battle it is becoming to keep your private data out of the multitude of inbound AI vectors that is finally pushing people down the hill.

Many people have FODMAP sensitivities and confuse them for gluten.

Its what makes it more secure. Why do you need a chat app that allows your parents to accidentally stumble into a group of con artists or kids to stumble into things they shouldn’t be exposed to? It’s a messaging app, not gamer group chat.

This is what puts is way ahead of the others.

Unlike the other two, there are no servers that run discoverable group chats.

Just adding to this, Linux is pretty ubiquitous these days, with it being found running billboards, menus, information screens, and many machines and appliances.

Though these versions are stripped down and no what you are used to from a desktop. They just have the kernel and a few services for the task at hand.
