  • Family seeking $1.3M owed by Alberta separatist leader Dennis Modry after court order

    Jump

  • Modry said, “It’s heartening to us at each of the three meetings that we’ve had with the U.S. administration to be informed that the entire U.S. administration is supportive of Alberta becoming a sovereign country.”

    Of course they're supportive. That's no different than saying a pedophile is supportive of a child running away from home. It's certainly not in the child's best interest.

  • Kagi has a fediverse filter

  • Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the answer is to move to a country that's not a shit hole and has universal healthcare. The next best is to do what you can to survive while you try to convince people to vote with you for a gov't that will give you universal healthcare.

    Right now? I can't imagine what you're going through and I really am sorry I can't help directly. Your system is broken. Your gov't has failed you. I really, truly and honestly, wish you the best and hope you find the help you need.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

    Jump

  • Have you never seen a movie set in space? Evrytime someone gets sucked into space they freeze. You saying every movie got it wrong?? Space is cold. Duh.

  • Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."

    Jump

  • Soon enough social apps will use your selfie cam to track your eyes. Ads will only play when your eyes are engaged and pause if you're not looking at the screen. Oh boy.

    Same with TVs, the built in camera will see who's watching, and Netflix, etc, will stop streaming when it sees 5 people watching when your account is only set for 4. Either one person leaves the room or you upgrade to continue watching.

  • How to prevent your phone from being opened forcefully

    Jump

  • The simplest solution right now is to use a pin code instead (this would just be for your phone unlock, you can still use bio for app locks). It's inconvenient at first but you'll get used to it. After that, you can look into changing the OS if you want more privacy, if you can unlock the bootloader. Lineage is a good choice, and it looks like e/os is available for some Samsung phones. There's already been a recommendation for GrapheneOS but that's only available for Google Pixels for now.

    I'd recommend starting slow if you're willing to wait. Switch to a pin lock, try out FOSS alternatives with fdroid, start looking into alternatives for major accounts like Google, etc. It's a lot and easy to get overwhelmed if you go all in at once. I spent 4 years switching everything over to FOSS and privacy focused options. The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is today.

  • I'm just trying to search for a website...

    Jump

  • Same. So of course I'm just waiting for the news that they support eating babies or something.

  • ‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’

    Jump

  • Same reason the US could bring back fascism. It's easy for people who've never been touched by disease/war etc to believe it's just always been like this. They don't see the lives lost, the knowledge gained, or the lessons learned that gave them their privileges.

  • Tim Hortons’ franchisor is lobbying Ontario about foreign workers

    Jump

  • Let it fail. Any business that requires paying employees below minimum wage to operate is not a viable business.

  • Trump team weighs order to force banks to make sure customers are citizens to keep or create accounts

    Jump

  • This is the end-game takeover part and it's all about consolidation of government into the hands of corporations. Collapse every bank but don't worry, TrumpBank will suddenly be there to take on all customers with the US Treasury backing it, funneling all banking in the country into one institution to consolidate control.

    I've spent the last few years feeling like the old tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist stereotype, even when these things prove true. Even typing out this shit makes me feel it again. There was a time when something like this was absurd, now, well...

  • Tim Cook Warned by CIA That China Could Move on Taiwan by 2027

    Jump

  • The US is showing the future the 1% are pushing for humanity. Governments will no longer be elected politicians, but corporate CEOs.

  • Gunman shot dead in Mar-a-Lago was ‘fixated on Epstein files’ and big Trump supporter

    Jump

  • So someone with a gun was forcing their way into a location which may have gov't officials inside with clear intent, was confronted while trying to enter by armed personnel who gave the order to stop, and was then shot after not complying.

    This sounds familiar. Think he'll get funeral honours like Babbitt?

  • Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site

    Jump

  • I dunno, the language suggests to me it can be worked around. It states age verification to make the OS account. Linux doesn't require accounts. This seems to target Microsoft and Apple account creation (since you won't be able to use the OS without one) and of course Google will implement account requirements on Android

  • I never see them because they aren't legally allowed on the road.

    Jump

  • That seems really odd to me. Generally people do at least a bit of research about a vehicle purchase, especially that expensive. I'm not even referring to Musk shit, just vehicle buying in general. Anyone looking up anything about the cost/value of a cybertruck would pretty quickly get an abundance of info about it being a bad buy without getting into any of the Musk stuff.

    I guess if your boss' husband just has the money and liked the look/what it said it'd do, then fair enough. Just seems strange to knowingly buy a lemon.

  • Yeah it's just an HDMI connection to the TV. Once connected I can swap the output to the soundbar. I've been avoiding the Pipewire config since I do audio recording/production for a living and didn't want to screw things up haha. Looks like it's time to dive in and give it a shot. Thanks.
