Personally, I’m not feeling that same vibe. I think the solidarity against the US is a very good thing, but the sheer amount of ways Canada is just “America Light” is very depressing. Its to the point that our flag has been so sullied by absolutely shit tier movements in the last 5 years that I can’t stand to see it anymore.

Every time I see a private flag pole, bumper stickers or anything kind of patriotic merch my knee jerk reaction is “I bet this dude’s a fuckwad.” I know that I’m painting with a huge and shitty brush but I just can’t even fight against it anymore. I know it’s wrong. I just don’t care, and that makes me sad.

I live comfortably here, but given even a minutely convenient reason to emigrate I think I’d take it.

Canada is a car infested, anti-human shit hole just like America. To paraphrase Steve Harris of Iron Maiden a bit “We oil the jaws of the war capitalist machine and feed it with our babies immigrants.”

Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you’ll likely appear in the Linux users list.

Anything that Steven Wilson has made. Dude’s a living legend.

I only do baisc maintenance and setups for my friends now.

I’ve heard of beta blockers, but I’ve never looked into it. I’m kind of hesitant when it comes to dealing with any kind of side effects.

I worked at probably the best luthiery in North America. Got let go because I couldn’t keep up. I have tremors which makes fine dextrous work very difficult. At the time I was also going through a brutal break-up too.

Really bad time for me. Also working at this place was like playing a couple good games of beer league hockey and immediately getting drafted into an NHL team. I feel like if I took another shot at it, it would go much better second time around. But it just wasn’t meant to be at the time. No matter what, it was always going to be a massive uphill climb, but I was super dedicated to doing it and doing it well. It’s unfortunate it came to such an abrupt end, but I understand why it had to happen.

There’s plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it’s already ingested.

Nobara’s not going anywhere regardless of how this goes down. At least on Nobara you won’t have to worry about your distro going tits up any time soon.

I totally understand where you’re coming from but I also understand why people like the curated experience. When I went to Mexico for the first time, I went to a resort because in that moment all I cared about was not having to care about anything, if you know what I mean.

There’s a time and a place for both styles of travel.

Nobara is likely the best candidate for you. https://nobaraproject.org/

I’ve been on Linux for a year and a half now with zero downtime.

That’s a pretty insane threshold. I say that as a die hard underground metal fan.

I’m assuming this is a reference to the heat wave in Ontario right now? Otherwise, I don’t get it.

Now THAT is some data porn.

100% agreed. I used to hate the heat. Now I run in 30°C and, while running in that heat is miserable, I find it way more tolerable when I’m just out and about.

That song is amazing!

That damned albatross!

Withnail and I is a good one.

That doesn’t negate the value of having them participate in the conversation though.

The Fediverse is controlled by the people. Mainstream social media is controlled by wannabe kings.

Salesforce is so fucking AI-pilled its insane. I hate having to use their shit-tier CRM.
