  • Ontario premier says he'll pull ad that upset Trump so trade talks between Canada and US can resume

    Jump

  • I was unhappy that Dougie decided to spend our tax dollars on ads in the US, but now I'm upset he's pulling them. Are we getting a refund for the ad slots we didn't use?

  • Took me a moment

  • "The uploader has not made this video available in your country" -- fuck you Paramount, but OK, I have VPN.

    I'll give it a shot. I just pray that other than a few characters in common, it won't have anything to do with Discovery.

  • Turns out half of the country just desperately wants to be on the wrong side of every issue

  • No fucking thanks indeed.

  • Cloudflare Tunnel?

    Jump

  • Vaultwarden isn't actually susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, since the passwords are encrypted and decrypted on the end device. But some relevant metadata do go over the connection so it'd better have TLS.

  • Why do my LG smart fridge and my GE washer and dryer all have DNS servers? And is there a way I can control them without the manufacturer's miserable apps?

  • I think your meant BlueTooþ

  • Canada Post says green light to end door-to-door deliveries can help with climb out of financial hole

    Jump

  • They haven't really been doing door to door deliveries anyway.

  • Freeland leaving cabinet for Ukraine envoy position: sources

    Jump

  • She probably asked for it given her background and experience, and this a promotion of sorts from transport minister.

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • I didn't get the music analogy but I agree with you that "dumb shit" can apply to a large part of this season.

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • Hope so! Season 3 wasn't the worst thing ever but not really good or memorable.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations"

    Jump

  • You are thinking it over way more than the writers did. This hole-ridden plot is just there to justify the action scenes. But I think it's implied that Batel left the messages. Why were they vague and in those other languages? Just because!!

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations"

    Jump

  • 2/10

    Worse sequel to the season's so-far worst episode.

    Felt like the writers were like "wouldn't it be cool if we do this... and that... and this again..."

    "science so advanced it might as well be magic": yeah, pretty much, this was more of a D&D campaign (bad one) than a good sci-fi episode. Even the silly Prophets / Pah-wraiths arc of DS9 was preferable to this.

  • It's happening! The Canadian Costco cult is showing fractures!

    Jump

  • I've never been to Costco! I shop basically exclusively local in Downtown Toronto, but I recognize it's a privilege to have that option being so convenient.

  • They just scared her off

  • Why the Internet Is Worse Than Ever

    Jump

  • Good article.

    The answer is capitalism and authoritarianism.

  • Deadline for Canadians to claim $8.5M TD settlement approaching

    Jump

  • Thanks! I had no idea about it. Submitting the claim was quite straightforward.

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • Very sad state. Maybe hope lies in emulation? What I want ideally for my phone is for it to run a Linux-type desktop OS, and have light VMs (if containers won't do) running fully locked garbage Android systems for those apps that require them.

    As an exclusive Linux user since the early 2000s I remember well the days programs were unavailable and website only supported Internet Explorer. Wine and virtualization remedied much of that pain.

  • Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?

    Jump

  • Right? 😂
