  • Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad

    Jump

  • If Bing's database isn't good enough for you, Startpage supposedly uses Google's database and doesn't shoehorn AI into the results. You'll want an adblocker, though. (My usual order of query is Duckduckgo, then Startpage, then Mojeek if the other two didn't find anything useful.)

  • Crofton, B.C. pulp mill to close down, roughly 350 people affected

    Jump

  • I suspect the truth has more to do with money than wood fibre supply (I mean, you can truck wood chips in, if it's profitable enough). These days, the single largest pulp and paper producer in the world is China. They're difficult to compete with on product price.

  • Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure

    Jump

  • The "O" word, actually: oligarchs (or their relatives or best buddies). Chances are that at least some of them are under sanction in more civilized countries.

  • [Episode] SANDA - Episode 9 discussion

    Jump

  • Fuyumura's "what the heck are you going on about? What's wrong with you? Give me back my friend!" experience is one regrettably familiar to many aro-aces. 🫤

    And apparently, if there's such a thing as Evil!Santa, he dresses like he works for the Mafia.

  • Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure

    Jump

  • I doubt most owners of recent-model luxury-brand cars in Russia are average joes for which this is their only transport. I therefore find my sympathy to be somewhat limited.

  • Crofton, B.C. pulp mill to close down, roughly 350 people affected

    Jump

  • Mirroring what happened in Ontario years ago. Used to be that northeastern Ontario had a bunch of mills. Now there's only Kapuskasing left, and they're not really viable—by my understanding, they've been hanging on by their fingernails due to being mostly employee-owned and so not having to do more than break even, but they've now had to approach the government for a bailout, and their future seems doubtful. The next-to-last was Espanola, which closed down a couple of years ago now.

  • Distros with isolated programs?

    Jump

  • If that's the reason for things freezing up, the OOM reaper will come along and sort it out eventually, although it isn't exactly quick on its feet.

  • [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 10 discussion

    Jump

  • So I guess the "real" Akira was the guy standing beside Towasa in the flashback . . . The question now is "why?"

  • Pipeline deal with Ottawa met with boos at Alberta UCP convention

    Jump

  • Then they'll complain about having nothing to complain about.

  • Transit violence rising across Canada — in some cities by nearly 300%; Exclusive data shows crime rates still well above pre-pandemic levels

    Jump

  • "Uttering threats" is an offence under the Criminal Code and, as I understand it, the requirements for it to be considered a crime are pretty steep—kids on schoolbusses wouldn't qualify because their threats usually aren't meant to be taken seriously. It's more like "dude standing over you holding a knife threatens to stab you" stuff.

  • Common Desktop Environment "CDE" 2.5.3 Released After Two Years

    Jump

  • Nah, there's plenty of variety. Keep in mind that not all distros ship with any graphical environment at all, and you're not obliged to keep your distro's default even if it did ship with one. Linux in general is just as happy with ratpoison as it is with KDE.

  • Framework stops selling separate DDR5 RAM modules to fight scalpers

    Jump

  • I didn't think the horse was still intact enough that you could find any hide.

  • Dead mosquito proboscis used for high-resolution 3D printing nozzle

    Jump

  • Ugh. I hope that there being a use for the little bastards now doesn't make people breed them on purpose.

  • MPs ‘speechless’ after Stellantis fails to show up to hearing, citing technical issues

    Jump

  • And this is why bribing foreign companies to set up shop here was a bad idea from the outset: they have no respect for us whatsoever.

  • Nearly 40 per cent of Canadian teens victimized online say it happened on Snapchat, new report says

    Jump

  • Well, trees deserve protection too, but they're unlikely to be on Snapchat in my experience. It just operates on the wrong timescale for them.

  • Ford tells protesters to 'go find a job' as controversial housing bill passes at Queen's Park

    Jump

  • It might make a difference if it's triggered right when he's done something that's caused his party's popularity to dip.

  • [Episode] A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai • Sozai Saishuka no Isekai Ryokouki - Episode 9 discussion

    Jump

  • . . . I'm now wondering whether Brolite's shadow's personal hygiene would be just as bad as hers, or the exact opposite. 😅

  • Shai-Hulud Returns: Over 300 NPM Packages Infected

    Jump

  • Python and Ruby have both had various repo issues too.

    I've never heard of anything similar with Perl, but that may partly be because applications for new developers who want to join CPAN still appear to be processed by humans, with up to a couple of weeks lag. The time inefficiency plus the language being less popular probably makes it an unattractive target.

  • Is Canada Adopting ICE Anti-Migrant Tactics? | The Tyee

  • It would look less suspicious if it hadn't happened in Alberta.
