toastmeister@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird)English3·8 hours agoAn interesting fact about Europe is they’ve long disobeyed their own procurement laws to choose Microsoft software, whether its corruption or what I’ve got no idea, I assume so though.
toastmeister@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•The Christian Movement That Wants to End Canadian Self-Rule11·8 hours agoA world leading housing bubble, and wages lower than the poorest US state, I assume. As bad as the US is they didn’t have the second worst per capita GDP growth in the OECD while they imported a massive number of UN wage slaves to depress salaries and hide falling GDP during a housing crisis.

toastmeister@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney signals a welcome new approach to governing. It’s about accountability1·9 hours agoThe theory I’ve heard that seems to be coming true is that America wanted Carney in order to build a pipeline through Quebec, using a constitutional crisis as the opportunity to do so. Pierre wouldn’t be able to as a Con, but a progressive doing so will be palatable enough theoretically.
If Fox news started praising Biden I’d be equally suspicious, definitely their donors pushing an agenda.

They should be holding a bit of debt optimally.
So you live on indigenous land you’re saying, but you’re not in a stolen house?
So non-native Canadians and the Americans should give up all their land back to the indigenous and move back to Europe?
Well your country may have been on stolen land, what if you had a group of people near you that wanted to take the land back by force; are you willing to give up your own house?
The whole question is absurd, you’re not going to, and you’re also not going to let them continue attacking you, because your desire to save your family from rape and murder is greater than your empathy.
These Gazans are going to get eliminated, nobody wants to help them, just ask Kuwait and Lebanon. Israels tolerance for terrorism was the only reason they were still alive to begin with, and the murder spree has broken that tolerance.
Imagine if you were an Israeli citizen and there were religious fanatics coming into your towns and murdering and kidnapping everyone, what would be your response and expectation of your government?
Maybe the democrats could try choosing a decent candidate if they want to win?
Choosing Hillary Clinton was brain dead, and that gave Trump his first win, which is what got us into this mess.

toastmeister@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Opinion | Privatizing Canada Post would be a costly mistake13·2 days agoWhy stop there? Clean water is a convenience isn’t it? What about fire departments? That’s a convenience. People could do these things on their own. They should be rugged individualist and always take care of themselves right? Why do we need roads? People should just pave their own roads right?
I believe water is done privately, as are utilities. Roads are obviously difficult to do when managing the various tolls, and eminent domain, an issue package delivery would never run into. Fire department I think you’d run into issues with housing density, given you can just let peoples house burn down without affecting others.
But I can understand the desire I suppose, I just feel like we are subsidizing private corporations. I’d at least like a law that required it was free shipping only for Canadian companies or maybe Canadian product.

Of course I never understood the desirability of a VM language in the first place, why not just compile for different architecture?

Is Documents a wiki section or a file repo?
toastmeister@lemmy.cato Privacy@lemmy.ml•Guys please in your privacy journey don't forget the routers3·3 days agoI bought a Dlink because it was cheap and was high end hardware. You can’t even add a firewall rule without adding a backdoor to Dlinks cloud portal.
Big mistake obviously.
Albertan oil has displaced a massive amount of coal, which has actually lead to a reduction in c02 emissions.
If you want to fight climate change more effective actions would be rezoning housing federally for unlimited density based on a total free market like Japan did, and investing in mass transit. We do still remain the only country in the G7 without high speed rail.
The problem is climate change is used as a political grift to attract votes, they dont actually care about fighting it, if you did you’d also be cutting off Chinese imports and dealing with a tidal wave of mortgage defaults from inflation and higher interest rates.
