  • He's being deported by IRCC, not ICE.

  • It's not about this conflict, but the Movie "Waltz with Bashir" shows how humans can trick themselves into being justified or making war a necessary part of their job. Warning, this movie will make you sad.

  • Welcome to Linux town, man. Debian's been bloody flogged into a million distros, but it's OK. Arch will be too.

  • That's a fair statement.

    Your username is amazing .

  • So you think you can just dump workers into a country and it has no affect on housing demand or wages?

    That's not what I said. You aren't following what I and others are saying.

    When you say stuff like "it's entirely supply and demand for labour", you are replaying talking points of that same government and those same corporate interests, who both use language around housing like it's something people can just stop wanting by framing it as a commodity.

    Our issues aren't based on population changes one way or another, they exist squarely because we treat housing as a commodity and as a financial vehicle. There is effectively enough housing for everyone, it's just been placed out of reach for many.

    Supply and demand explains the price of lemons in a place that can't grow lemons. It does not work for housing, which is a hard requirement of social stability, that's why we can't treat housing like we treat buying and selling lemons.

    Slow down and read what is being said to you, and for your own peace of mind, stop interpreting criticism as a personal attack.

  • Parts of health data for BC and Alberta. Not an insignificant amount, but only a small view on BC HIPA data, not sure on AB, but I imagine the scope would be similar. They do have a relative stranglehold on home health mgmt software. Telus's relatively new foray into infosec has (rightfully) given health orgs pause in tendering and bids.

    I know this because I carried out an app security audit for a BC health authority.

  • debits are processed differently here where it makes it almost impossible to overdraw.

    At the store, yes. If you have a PAW setup for your rent, utility, etc and it fails, you get an NSF, because it was based on the old chequing system.

  • Is it that difficult to grasp?! You're missing the part where the people in charge of this "natural" process have their thumbs on the fucking scale.

    Don't cherry pick economic theory to make this yet another "blame the workers" bullshit story. Supply and demand are economic constants in a microeconomy for theoretical modelling purposes, not a quotable to explain why things are the way they are.

    As soon as you start adding in stuff like real people with real, non-economic needs, the model breaks in the real world.

    See, for example, the Finnish approach to housing that reflects social needs rather than economic outcome for model that doesn't end up with us plebs all on the bottom.

  • True, but not all Linux is FOSS, even though there is some significant overlap.

  • Looks good, and highlights how little we generally need to be functional.

  • Hmmm... Calibre web's kobo integration is good enough, but Komga seems to be able to sync progress as well?

    I might have to try Kkmga after all.

  • Wait, I use CWA... What do I need to be outraged about this time?

  • Haha too right mate

  • Meshtastic can work in this scenario, but with default GPS broadcast turned on is a terrible idea if the goal is communicating outside state observation.

  • I haven't run into any file managers that hide the path with no option to show it. Which one(s) are you talking about?

  • Nice.

    Other actions are possible with watchdog timers, especially with hypervisors. They can invoke a script or use an agent to kill a misbehaving process.

    Ultimately, the best solution is not to need the timers at all, so finding the culprit within the client is ideal, though not always possible.

    VMs hanging on memory often have incorrect caching policies, you may want to investigate that.

  • I don't understand what exactly you are arguing for.

    Most folks don't care. They won't be shopping for an os.

    I've been getting people on Linux for 20 years... Trust me, they don't care about features, they care about being able to do their old workflow. These ppl are happy using a Chromebook.

    This is how we get the memes like "Linux user recompiles kernel just to open Firefox"

    Don't worry about memes, haters gonna hate.

  • From the wikipedia article on the cmhc:

    Evidently, rather than focus on low-income housing, the federal government instead initiated a post-war program between 1944 and 1945 that promoted home ownership and private enterprise.

    We've been fighting this struggle on private vs public housing for a long time, and it is simply because we kept in step with the way our southern neighbours do things.

    Now, I want to be clear that I support socially irresponsible, state-sponsored housing, and I do think we've been lucky in Canada to benefit from a pretty good system overall. I am a to believer that Finland is going things correctly by addressing housing head-on.

    I just commented because I don't want ppl to think that "the good old days" in Canada were perfect.

  • from the 1950s to 1990s

    I'm going to guess you are a young person? Those years encompass policies that were absolutely abysmal for Canadian housing. Political embroilments with the USA's foreign policies in the 70s cut back on housing initiatives, severe economic belt-tightening in the 80s, backlash against immigration in the late 50s and well into the 60s. The CMHC itself was founded on ignoring the Curtis report in 1941 and giving most control of housing provision to the private sector instead of focussing on low- to middle- income housing.

    If you're going to be interested in housing history in Canada, you should look at the complete picture. Free market pressure created this situation, policy only followed it.
