Thanks for the reply and suggestion! It’s sort of unfortunate that we don’t have Canadian options, esp given that Canada has once been active in the textile industry, and that many of us (at least, it seems to me) love our great outdoors.
But yeah, thanks for pointing out the potential need to just get additional stuff like insoles to support my feet. Sounds like it’s gonna be a bit of a hunt, and part of it is cause I’m not even sure what exactly do my feet need.
UN says that Canada has an immigration system that can be abused for modern slavery not too long ago. It hasn’t been updated
Conservatives say that the law favours immigrants.

Make your pick?
I can’t find the webpage now, but about a month or so before our last election, there was a webpage where they iirc gathered signatories from people who wanted housing prices to lower, and a good portion of them were retired.
I think we could start with just encouraging people to provide reasons when downvoting posts, by just showing a small box for comment for example. If we see improvements on engagement and that it ends up encouraging good conversations, then we’re all good. Otherwise, we can then get feedback on how people feel about that addition, or just observe from anonymized data, eg “How often does someone make a comment after downvoting?”
I think going straight to harder requirements might backfire in this particular case; I can see a lot of people to just stop downvoting things because they’re too lazy to provide a reason.
For what seems like controversial posts, I seriously hope people would at least state why they downvoted something instead of just downvoting and leaving. If it’s straight up bad, we all know why, but this seems to invite debate more than just stating a bad take (for the record, I don’t think this is bad).
AMD has just historically been better, while NVIDIA terrible. The fact that NVIDIA became better is a relatively recent event, after they decided to start putting out official Linux drivers, and even then it took a while for them to make that stable, afaik.
Meanwhile, and this is also afaik, AMD has basically not really changed by much. NVIDIA just leaped them on the compat front on newer cards.
I actually use Rakuten to get e-books cause I live in a rather small space. Rakuten also rather clearly labels their books for whether they’re DRM-ed or not, and has a bunch of non-DRM-ed books. This is a win for me.
Not directly related, but it reminded me of an article I read a while ago so I tried digging it up:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/apr/24/undercover-far-right-hope-not-hate-harry-shukman
The article’s about the far-right, and how it’s essentially being championed in the shadows by a very organized entity. This isn’t written as fiction; it’s part of a documentary.
Votes for O&G interests -> Continues the slaughtering of our nature, worsening climate change -> Forests burn more uncontrollably -> Complains
Big brain move there Republicunts
That makes more sense. Thank you for the explanation.
From what you’re saying though, it sounds like we’re assuming English usage translates to Western usage? But that’s not necessarily accurate though. South East Asia, for example, also has a huge population when combined, has a really big gaming scene, and gamers are frequently English speakers / users, if not just don’t mind using English in their systems, even if they don’t necessarily speak it well. That corner of the world is wholly dominated by Windows as well.
As someone who hasn’t been following what’s going on, this reads like a really weird post.
What does it mean for a language to… “drop”? Did you mean language usage? Why would Linux “grow” (whatever you mean by “grow” here) whenever this language “drops”?
And assuming I understood your post correctly, why should we consider Chinese users of Linux as “noise”? In what context are you posting this such that they can be considered “noise” instead of “more data points”?
Sorry for blasting questions at ya, but this is really out of left field.
Is that “the” supposed to fit between “police” and “opposition”? I’m still confused by this terrible headline.
