A few things spring to mind as someone who lives in Alberta:
Alberta is looking at transferring control of some of our hospitals to the catholics (Covenant Health has a former premier and the former health minister on the board of directors, hmm) for a start. UCP has also been eyeballing getting Alberta to leave the CPP.
Can’t speak for other cities, but Calgary has been turning into a shit hole for years now. Homeless people and drug addicts are all over the place lately. Rents are spiking just like everywhere else.
Personal anecdote, the last time I had to take transit there was still blood on the wall of the station where a guy had been stabbed a few weeks prior. 2023 was a nasty year for transit stabbings.
Do they have a forklift big enough to carry his ego in front of parliament with him?
For now.
Linux gaming was always slightly buggy for me for a while. Then I tried Nobara, and since then everything has been more or less plug and play.
AC Odyssey was a bit more work to get going but that was because I had bought it through Ubisoft Connect. But even that just needed me to install it in Lutris which comes preinstalled and made the setup nice and easy.
Nobara is developed by the guy who makes ProtonGE, as a side note.
Matrix doesn’t offer disappearing messages (which I consider important for digital minimalism and cybersecurity.
I noticed this in the article and figured I’d throw my 2 cents in. This might be a spicy take, but I actually can’t stand apps that do this.
When I was in school I had someone harass me online with threats of violence (they spent a couple of hours insulting and threatening me) then lie to the staff that I was harassing them with even more extreme shit. The staff and other students all took their side until I logged in and showed the conversation. If the messages had disappeared I wouldn’t have been able to prove my innocence.
I very firmly want encrypted communications for privacy (I use Signal and Matrix), but I am quite wary of purging communications automatically. That said, it’s anyone’s right to use services that auto delete and my right not to.
I’m curious what other people’s take on this would be.
By the beard of Zeus, what a horrible day to be literate and morbidly curious.
These comments feel like a basketball game, except there’s a wall in the middle and teams are just scoring points on their own hoop. Also every two comments someone throws a shovelful of shit over the wall.
