I know that. It’s not me that you have to convince. But it’s dishonest to pretend that he’s not the reason why the NDP have not held meaningful federal power since.

Like the other commenter said: Kim Campbell. Basically the same reason why the NDP haven’t been in power federally since the 90s (thanks, Bob Rae).

Well, in terms of amount of snow, northern Ontario probably has more. But in terms of snow-related recreation, BC has more skiing and snowboarding opportunities since there are way more mountains. Ontario is more suited to ice skating, snowshoeing, snowmobiling (AKA skidooing), and sometimes tubing.

What about it? It’s another software. Did you mean to reply to the original commenter?

Have you looked into KiCAD? It’s FOSS and Linux-first.

If you like remote, consider northern Ontario. You don’t even have to get super north for the population to plummet. The area is also incredibly beautiful, but so is BC and they don’t get the same snow (there’s so much snow, oh god…).

I’m voting against him later today. LFG Ontario, we can’t allow more of this.

You’re still banging on about Anthropic? I used it as an example to make my point (which is that commercial usage of copyrighted works is illegal, nothing about making/distributing copies or uploading or whatever you think you’re talking about).

But you’re up and down this thread bending over backwards to not have a good faith discussion with people who are not lawyers, so it’s incredibly difficult to take you seriously and at face value.

Why does the customer/user matter at all here when they’re not party to the lawsuit? You can have no customers yet and still infringe on copyright by using something for commercial purposes when you’re not licensed to do so. That’s how licenses work.

Of course, that limits the damages since there arguably hasn’t been any harm (which doesn’t make it legal), so lawsuits aren’t usually filed at that point; it’s usually a cease and desist. Also, I don’t have to argue anything. I’m not a lawyer.

I can show whatever movie I want at my house with my friends and that’s legal, but if I charge $10 to show it, that’s not legal. I don’t give a shit, because I pirate everything and show it to whoever I want for free, but that’s the law as written.

Receiving a copy of a copyrighted work (from anywhere) and using it for commercial purposes when the license doesn’t cover that usage (or simply doesn’t exist) is, in fact, illegal. This is why Anthropic was sued last year.

I’m interested in learning whether that’s even legal considering that discriminating based on gender identity is explicitly against the Charter.

The only athletes I can name are professional athletes in the major leagues of football, basketball, and soccer. Some are retired by now, I’m sure. Olympic athletes and athletes in any other sport or league are unknown to me unless they make the news for some non-athletic reason.

Qb has a setting for monitoring a folder for .torrent files. IIRC, you can set a default directory or you can have it ask you every time. That seems like it would cover your use case.

I use it to auto-start downloading all .torrent files in ~/Downloads and it works well.

It’s pretty simple to me: the public likes that drug users are being coercively pushed into rehab because it gets them off the streets where they don’t have to see them and know there’s an issue.

I live in Ottawa: there’s at least one person begging for change or hanging out at every intersection, you can’t ignore it. Some people are just relieved to have them go away, they don’t care where or if it’s a good place.

It’s also much easier to round people up and force them to go somewhere else than it is for them to be in the position to seek help for themselves.

Imagine hating LGBTQ people and women having rights so much that you actively look forward to a trade war that is most likely to result in your own poverty.

How bad is the American education system that the word tariff doesn’t immediately inspire anger at national leadership? Tariffs aren’t foreign policy and don’t benefit consumers or companies.

I don’t really see that as Substack supporting Nazism per se (though that is the de facto outcome), I see that as Substack supporting themselves, because they get 10% of all subscription revenue. They’re using a fervent belief in free speech to justify it, but they just want money. At the end of the day, they have very narrow content moderation policies, so things like this will be allowed to stay (and their subscribers’ money will be allowed to remain in Substack’s pocket).

For comparison, look to Instagram’s recent content moderation policies that allow for open Nazi rhetoric to remain on the platform. But ultimately, yes, it does seem that they are openly hosting content and facilitating payments for Nazis and defending that choice. I wonder if they’re in a financial bind or if they truly are that zealous about (nearly) unmitigated free speech on a private hosting platform.

I dunno, were they? No clue, you’d know better than I would. Anyone can sign up, not sure how the funding works though.

Interestingly, some parts involved in auto manufacturing cross the border up to 5 times before being put into a car. Will they be taxed 25% every time they cross from Canada to the US?

Oof. People can’t even post memes about things that frustrate them now? A lot of trans memes are about shit like this, if we removed all those there’d barely be any left.

I’m 90% sure that I could play gamebooks right now with my 7-year-old jailbroken Kindle. 100% sure that I could play other types of IF with one of the Boox devices that run Android.
