Which came first, Weeping Angels or SCP-173?

Heaven forbid journalists do… you know, their jobs?

True. I hope it bubbles up to those who have ‘more to lose’ and they put country over career and party.

Fair point – she had the courage and 100% deserves credit for that! I wish more had her strength.

‘former officials’

… it isn’t courageous and won’t mean anything until CURRENT officials do the same, en masse. They’re mostly too scared of losing their cushy positions. Cowards.

Canada has always used paper, hand-counted ballots. Why anyone would trust their elections to machines which can be sabotaged is beyond me. Perhaps use them to check human-counted results, not the other way 'round.

Takes too long? Recruit more volunteers. Or, heaven forbid, pay them. Something this important deserves the resources to do it transparently and accurately.

Or, please consider Devuan as well, to ensure there are distros without hard dependencies on systemd, an expansive attempt to cement IBM/RedHat’s control over the direction of Linux through foundational changes to the init, filesystem, login, homedir, and other components…

Please don’t bother replying to change my mind… never gonna like systemd no matter what. If it works for you, fine. Some of us still find it wholly unnecessary.

I put on my robe and wizard hat

When our last TV which was ‘smart’ died, we just bought a big lcd monitor at the pawn shop. We already were only using Kodi on an Android box, so a monitor with external speaker is fine. (Seemed spyware free last time I checked, but beware no-name android media boxes on=from eBay etc., use a tiny or old spare PC instead if you wish).

One must ‘sail the high seas’ tovget content, of course…

Debugging pretty much any multithreaded application…

Here I go once again with the e-mail / Every week I hope that it’s from a fe-male!

Too little, too late :(

Reason #1 (or #2) why I will not vote for him. Never forget, once he was in power he suddenly decided FPTP was just dandy.

(#2 is his other broken promise, to re-examine CSIS/CSE surveillance overreaches…)

No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p

Both have been a blight on software development for decades.

Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?

I’m sure he’ll wear this as a badge of honour, so that’s a backfire for sure.

As it should be! I hope in the long-term, that is proven to be true.

I would like to say, for the record, that I wrote that late at night, and my phrasing probably came across incorrectly.

It wasn’t my intention to call you personally ‘a peon’. I was trying more to adopt the voice, for argument’s sake, of what an imagined President, using this supposed absolute immunity, might say to their critics – ‘who are you (out there, the people) to question my power?’

My apologies for it coming out the way it did.

Recommend “Human Resource Machine” as well :)
