I honestly think it's egotistical dipshits who can't admit to being wrong about "there's no such thing as climate change" they've been going on and on about, for decades.
Only now they really can't deny it, so it's this little nit-picking of everything that still lets them say "see, I'm still so smart about this stuff, and smart me thinks we still shouldn't do anything about climate change".
Gonna get us all killed.

Haha, yep.
It was the biggest hack. The best hack. No one's been hacked like this before. Some say it was the greatest hack of all time

Toronto traffic is some of the worst in the world. And instead of focusing on getting people to use their cars less by investing in transit, bike lanes and pedestrianization, we need solutions that allow our behaviour to carry on exactly as before, but without any of the problems intrinsic to that b...

Government concerned about public scrutiny in mandating workers back to office
>Treasury Board says 3-day-a-week mandate still offers flexibility
> Federal officials pointed to concerns about "public scrutiny" when the government mandated workers back into the office, even as workers reported they felt more productive working from home, documents show.
> Documents prepared by the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) before the announcements of return to the office mandates were released to the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) under an access to information request, and shared with CBC News.
> The documents show how TBS looked at global trends, raised concerns about public trust and had very little internal information on productivity when deciding to mandate workers back to the office.
> The union says the documents point to the lack of justification for the mandated return to the office.
> "They had an opportunity here to really modernize the public service and move it forward, and yet here we are talking about cookie cutter approaches, butts in seats, and we're not really talking about services to those who reside in Canada," said Sharon DeSousa, president of PSAC."

It's a mix for me. I'll definitely use the CLI for most things, but I find some things easier with a GUI:
- Viewing history / branches
- cherry picking
- unstaging files

I seriously hope these two racist assholes get what they deserve, but with Lawrence Greenspon as their lawyer, who knows.
Winston Churchill portrait stolen from Château Laurier recovered by Ottawa police — in Italy

The provincial maximum on rent-controlled apartments last year was 2.5 per cent, but Sharpe’s building has no limit because Ontario Premier Doug Ford removed controls on any rental units built or occupied after November, 2018.
Yet another thing that our Conservative Premier here in Ontario has done, yet the public is still going to blame the federal government.
Interesting question. I've never really considered it before, and I don't really know if I can competently comment.
That was fascinating, thanks for sharing. I only wish more people would read this kind of stuff and realize what life could be like when they give up the hard-earned benefits unions of the past got for us.
Nothing was given, it was all fought for.
4G had a lot of the same issues as 3G, but 5G was a complete redesign (including security). It was supposed to have been way harder to break than previous generations.
Wow I sure am glad this isn't still relevant 100 years later...
Did you know there's a miniature Château Montebello across the river from the original?

Hey all!
I've spent a couple of days skimming the web to no result, and was wondering if anyone could provide a suggestion?
I have an old (donated) USB audio interface, which has a Linux kernel module, but only runs on x86. I was hoping to make a little project out of it, and see if I can run it from a mini PC.
I'm hoping to find a low-cost x86 option to run this, and realize that that factor will make it inherently a little pricier. Are there any common, older models I should keep an eye out for on the used market?

Hey everyone,
Kind of quiet here, so I thought I'd ask a question that's been on my mind for a while:
What would make Ottawa better, in your view? Big or small.
For me, it would be to improve the walkability. I walk, jog, cycle, motorbike, and drive, all fairly frequently. It drives me wild how long it takes (mid winter or bad weather) from the time I press a crosswalk button, to the time the lights change. I'd love to see that improved.
