I live in Canada, where even our right-wing parties are in favour of public education and free health care. I guess that makes us all socialists.

Canada's first amendment is about a completely different topic :-)

The Canadian keyboards are so Canada: supposed to appeal to either English or French users, but just pisses them off. English speakers go for the US layout, and French speakers go for a European layout.

I remember some of our early Chromebooks had Canadian keyboards, and students and teachers revolted.

I think they're referring to the obsession that some people have to trans issues.

Hit the share button, "Add to Home Screen" is very difficult to install?

The big difference is that when you have a collision at a 4-way or 2-way stop, it is almost always a "T-Bone" collision, where all the energy hits at a right angle. These collisions kill, especially at speed.

A similar collision on a roundabout is almost always a "glancing" blow, at an angle, and rarely causes injury or death.

Roundabouts force you to slow down when approaching. Stop signs can be ignored. Roundabouts can't.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

Crazy having to fight with insurance providers to get basic health care.

I've sent in corrections to Apple Maps in Portugal (shopping mall is 1km away from the location on Apple Maps) and Canada (speed camera does not exist). Both were taken care of within a couple of days.

I think the proxy must be on the same machine, otherwise why are they suggesting editing the /etc/hosts file?

I visited this ZX Spectrum museum in this summer: https://loadzx.com/en/

So strange to stumble upon this blast from the 80s in a small town in the middle of Portugal. But I think this reinforces the fact that the Spectrum was to Europe what the C64 was to North America.

Anyway, wonderful memories in there!

Biggest antifa "rally" in history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy_landings

The Fräck mirror was named after the commonly used faux swear word on Battlestar Galactica, where one of the characters used a similar mirror:

I think a lot of is that traplines are a property right that will go away if they aren't inherited. So people use them because they inherited them.

It's a disk image, because in the old days, you'd install apps by dragging them from a floppy or CD to the Applications folder.

how did you convert them? Was it a software or hardware thing?

A nuclear reactor in the Alberta Oil sands would take care of a large amount of the CO2 produced in the production of crude.

The article praises the UI, but isn't Windows 2000 using the Windows 95/98 UI with a different kernel?

I live in Alberta. No rats here. Also the ticks here don't spread Lyme disease.

The new TPS reports!

Do you mean the ICRC?

I think you'll need to look at the constitution of Canada (section 35) and the legally-binding treaties that have been signed with indigenous Canadians. There's no "tribal" territory. It's all treaty territory.

Albertan here. I want to remain in Canada. I will leave Alberta if it separates.

This is being driven by a vocal conspiracy-minded maple-MAGA base that got our current premiere her job.

A majority of Albertans are against any talk of separation.

I spend summers in Central Portugal after enduring the winter of Canada's North. Sometimes my Canadian friends want to spend a couple of days in Portugal and ask me what's for a good place to visit, or a good attraction to go to, etc. I always answer the same:

I have no idea. I don't go as a tourist. I go to live in my family's home town for 6 or 7 weeks and not think about work. I don't have any recommendations for a checklist. I avoid the touristy places if I can.

I then turn it around on them. If someone was visiting Canada for 2 or 3 days, where do you tell them to go? I dunno.

This is why rats are illegal in Alberta. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_control_in_Alberta

My understanding is that when Elections Alberta shares the voter list with legit users (ie: sitting members of the legislature), it includes unique fictitious entries in the data. That way if there is a leak of the data, they can trace the source of the leak. Which they apparently have done.

I guess it's a form of a canary trap.

It reminds me of mapmakers including fake towns or other features in their maps, in case someone leaked them.

Coming to Canada soon, though in a limited way:

Hopefully this means competition with the other EV manufacturers in Canada too.

I'm Backblaze user -- multiple machines, multiple accounts. I'm going to be dropping Backblaze over this change, that I'm only learning about from this thread.

Any suggestions for alternatives?

I didn't know about Webminal until today. Going to try it with some college students this afternoon!
