Canadians pay it and are hopefully turned to other options, smaller companies, and hopefully Canadian ones. That would drive Amazon’s business down, and that hurts the billionaires more than the tax.

Because it targets his buddies Zuck and Besos.

What’s for dinner tonight mom?

Unborn chicken.

It is, but it requires GPlay to operate and maintain your sub.

I switched to Subtracks when I dumped Google.

Still shit on my machine.

If we’re going to compare to specific states, then we should be comparing to specific provinces. How’s Alberta compare against other provinces, I wonder?

Go to the US and enjoy those living standards, ya twat. Danielle is a useless waste of flesh.

What I already see around me is more and more people moving their files and identities offline into home NAS and filesharing setups, like Nextcloud. Their conversations are moving to Signal, Mastodon, Lemmy, Nextcloud Talk, or just plain text. For now its the more technically savvy, but even non professionals with low levels of admin experience are reaching out and asking now, and non technical people are looking for access to those private resources.

The snowball isn’t big yet, but it is rolling. How far it goes and how big it gets, we’ll see.

However what surprises me is that this did not happen sooner and due to ads, but rather it is AI and the complete uphill battle it is becoming to keep your private data out of the multitude of inbound AI vectors that is finally pushing people down the hill.

Many people have FODMAP sensitivities and confuse them for gluten.

Its what makes it more secure. Why do you need a chat app that allows your parents to accidentally stumble into a group of con artists or kids to stumble into things they shouldn’t be exposed to? It’s a messaging app, not gamer group chat.

This is what puts is way ahead of the others.

Unlike the other two, there are no servers that run discoverable group chats.

Just adding to this, Linux is pretty ubiquitous these days, with it being found running billboards, menus, information screens, and many machines and appliances.

Though these versions are stripped down and no what you are used to from a desktop. They just have the kernel and a few services for the task at hand.

Because I dont need to pay rent for my files and I don’t have to worry about AI and VCs trying invade my privacy.

I still have the Steam Link hardware console though, still rocking and letting me play my PC on the TV

I still have my original PS3. Had to replace the hardrive once.

Still have the Wii, which had a bad disk reader in the first 30 days. I had to send it to the repair shop in Toronto and they had it fixed and back to me within 48 hours for free.

My first XBox 360 lasted 2 days past it’s 1 year warranty date and died. Disk drive thought everything was a DVD. MS wanted $100 for repairs plus shipping. I bought a used 360 instead for $80. That one also died 1 year later, red ring. Next one I bought a replacement, one of the lower end models. Lasted 10 days past the 1 year warranty… Then thought everything was a DVD… This keeps going. By the time 2016 rolled around I had gone through 10 of those pieces of shit. I finally gave up on the games I liked on that system, and I’ve never bought a new MS system since. I honestly wonder what their true sales were if you deduped it by removing replacements from their tally.

I have my original PS2, PS3, PS4, GameCube, SNES, Wii, Switch.

There are quality gaming consoles out there, and then there’s whatever the fuck MS spews onto the market.

A tale of how a plastic eating bacteria moonlighted as a flesh eating one.

Global is a garbage news source. This is one of their more Fox like articles.

Haha, nice.
