  • Alberta's Smith applauds decision to end Ontario tariff ad campaign, urges diplomacy

    Jump

  • Pretty much! Crazies like Smith being in favour of something is a pretty good indication that it's probably awful.

  • Fucking disgusting. I really hope they get their asses handed to them in the next election. I've heard there are some rural communities that are dissatisfied with the UCP, but not sure if there are enough of them.

  • ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, Discord says

    Jump

  • I don't use Discord very much. Why do they have ID photos?

  • it's the season

  • Yes. I'm sure there are many reasons why, but one I've been thinking about recently is the idea of ownership. When capital is the only idea of ownership, that's a problem. Labour is just as, or more important, and people doing the work should have a say in things. We still need capital (ie. things) but just because you own a building doesn't mean you should get to dictate everything that happens with a venture. Collective ownership of capital and labour seems a good system. I don't necessarily mean that the government owns things, but rather groups of people owning the buildings, machines, etc. More of a cooperative structure. Just something to prevent a single person owning everything, dictating to the workers, and using the resulting capital + labour to buy and own even more things... Leading to what we are all living through now.

  • Alberta premier blames Ottawa for Imperial Oil job cuts, but experts say it's a global trend

    Jump

  • And the UCP can't afford to pay teachers...

  • Calgary-based Imperial Oil to eliminate 20% of workforce

    Jump

  • If only Alberta had a government that provided subsidies and tax cuts to oil companies to keep jobs in the province!

  • I can think of no higher praise for the DMA!

  • It's not lip service. The large platforms are now the official propaganda arm of fascism.

  • Ah yes, a fine example of small government free market.

  • Federal government pulls plug on home retrofit loan program

    Jump

  • This is so stupid! I made use of this a couple years ago to replace some windows and install solar panels. This resulted in more than a dozen people coming to my home over several months doing various bits of work. Presumably they were all getting paid.

    This wasn't free money and I do have to pay it all back. I would not have done the project otherwise. It made sense to me that at 0% I do get a slight discount taking inflation into account, but it was a good chunk of money injected into the economy now that was paid to Canadians. And, a bunch of that is going to make it back to the government in the form of income tax.

    I don't understand why they'd cancel the program other than the government caving to conservative morons who bitch about spending and don't understand economics.

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Needs to Imagine More for Its Female Characters

    Jump

  • And that's with some, frankly, terrible acting in the first season of B5!

    Definitely check out The Orville. It took me a few episodes to realize that it is a comedy first, but after that the serious episodes felt strange to me 😅

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Needs to Imagine More for Its Female Characters

    Jump

  • I've just started season two and this is kind of how I feel too. It's not a bad show, but a lot of it is just mediocre. The characters are especially bad since they all feel like bizarre caricatures of Star Trek memes and the attempt at comedy often feels out of place.

    The Orville, for all it's silliness, had much better writing and characters that actually felt genuine.

    The show is entertaining enough for me to keep watching though.

  • U.S. ambassador 'disappointed' with anti-American sentiment in Canada

  • As a Canadian I am going to say this as politely as I can: "Get fucked!"

  • LED? Luxury! 😁

    I had one board with an improperly loaded power supply and I could tell what it was doing by the pattern and pitch of the squeal.

    It did have a debug UART though, but I did come to find the sound pretty useful too!

  • Steam Link VR for Meta Quest on Linux now appears to work in the latest updates

    Jump

  • I block it's MAC at the router to prevent internet access but I still allow it on the LAN for ALVR. The ALVR client can be side loaded so no need to let the Quest online.

    Hopefully it's not spoofing a different MAC to be sneaky though. I'll have to check my router logs.
