Perhaps the prime minister could take a moment out of his busy schedule to tell us what the fuck he was thinking if it’s anything other than “we’re absolutely desperate to make a deal and have no choice but to give them whatever they want.”

In Canada I assume the vast majority of the increase goes to corporate profits because that’s what our economy seems designed to maximise, but it’s also worth noting that world food prices are back up to levels not seen since the 1970s: https://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/foodpricesindex/en/

People in 2032: “Weren’t we supposed to give up fossil fuels? I can’t believe we’re still using cleangreen comfygas.”

Singh wants price controls on food. Mamdani wants publicly-owned grocery stores. They are not the same.

Huddled masses yearning to breathe free

Oh right, this one which the previous government had the decency to abandon after everyone pointed out the problems: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=d64e0f63-70d4-46ac-b9e4-709547d6c438

The bill allows the federal government to “secretly order telecom providers” to “do anything or refrain from doing anything… necessary to secure the Canadian telecommunications system”

I don’t know, there’s just something about it.

For a long time we had VGA for video cables. There was no VGA version 2.1.9, now supporting 1024x768 mode with 16-bit colour. Cables did not cost $29. There were no rent-seeking patent holders charging license fees, or at least they weren’t obnoxious enough that we knew about them. It didn’t have five different types of connectors. There was no VGA consortium constantly keeping itself in the news with periodic press releases. Companies didn’t need to sign away their soul to write drivers for it. There was no VGA copy protection trying to keep us from decoding our own video streams. Cables didn’t include enough microelectronics to power a space shuttle.

Somehow I think we could do better.

I have only one strict rule: I see the Moomin comic, I upvote it.

I hate HDMI with a passion that can not be explained.

arson, n. The crime of deliberately starting a fire with intent to cause damage.

The dictionary confirms my understanding that “unintentional arson” is a contradiction in terms. We must therefore find the defendant not guilty.

If you’re only going to watch one video this week about urban planning in Prague, this one is a fine choice.

Mostly I just install Skyrim mods manually because I’m insane I guess, but for some games I like to run Mod Organizer 2 under proton. Your whole linux filesystem can be made accessible to windows programs, not sure if it is by default. But anyway since we’re talking steam games here the game itself normally will be in the same place as usual, as far as windows programs know.

Your other doubts and concerns seem slightly biased, e.g. wondering what settings could be tweaked on only one of the systems being tested and then reminding us all that there do still exist some things that won’t run on SteamOS. It’s only that one that is outright ridiculous.

Did the author run the benchmarks few times to rule out shader compilation

Really grasping at straws there, eh? I’m no big fan of Ars but I hope we can assume they’re not quite that incompetent.

The Premier suggested the structure would become a tourist attraction itself

If they build it to last, I can see it happening. 200 years from now, people will visit from all over the province to marvel at the massive concrete edifice — its glass facade long since shattered — standing as one of the few remaining structures to survive the water wars, a monument to the accelerating madness that took hold of the world in the early 21st century.

If they go through with this I’ll switch to Hannah Montana Linux.

Gearing up for war, here we go. Well, I’m too old to get drafted. Good luck, kids.

The specific promises are for more prisons, “tougher” sentences, and more incarceration of people not yet found guilty. Perhaps that bit at the end will prove to be more than just pretty words, but this government hasn’t earned that much trust so far.

Don’t do it at this time of year.
