Do you have any recommended reading about this? I'd like to learn more.

Speak for yourself, I'm installing IE6 right away

Why would the US not be happy about this? It takes us closer to our 2%, and guarding the Arctic is easily the most natural role for Canada to fill.

Very cool. Korea 's MIC is absolutely killing it lately. It'll be interesting to see their role on the global stage once most countries have taken delivery (like Poland's absurdly large order for tanks)

Whoa, meeting with manufacturers? We're getting new subs, not somebody else's obsolete garbage?

And yet the article doesn't mention whether they're going to do anything about it. I'm guessing nothing, based on this:

This isn’t the first time the FTC has examined the use of dark patterns. In 2022, it also authored a report that detailed a range of dark patterns, but that wasn’t limited to only subscription websites and apps. Instead, the older report looked at dark patterns across industries, including e-commerce and children’s apps, as well as different types of dark patterns, like those used in cookie consent banners and more.

I don't think the models are trained on CP. They're likely trained on widely-available porn.

Yeah, describing St Petersburg as "Putin's hometown" is pretty manipulative. It's a beautiful city, historically a popular tourist destination and home to one of the world's best museums.

I can 100% forgive people who voted for him the first time around but later realized that was a mistake.

Imagine befriending a Trump voter. No thanks.

I've been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It's been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can't wait until the Cosmic DE is released.

(too bad about the name, though...)

(apologies in advance if this isn't the right community for this question)

I've been flirting with Linux on and off for about 15 years and I think I'm ready to make the switch mostly full-time. I use a laptop for work and have a Microsoft 365 plan with email and such. I need to replace that with something Linux-friendly and would much prefer something that works with a desktop email client. Easy syncing of email, contacts and calendar to Android is a must.

Proton seems like it might be a good option but the privacy features aren't a huge selling point for me so I'm open to other options!

Chris (Foo Fighters guitarist) did a great job here. Nice interview with some gear and history insights by Alex and a breakdown of the Limelight solo.

I prefer the tracks off the previous album – more atmospheric – but this is still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsN-v7pvUVA

I'm probably preaching against the choir here, but I've become quite disillusioned with the stock market. It seems to no longer have any correlation to reality (assuming it ever did). Other than real estate, what are other good avenues to explore?

One more step on the way to ridding ourselves of Higgs! Here's the letter they submitted:

Here's the letter they submitted

The turmoil within New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative Party was deepening Friday morning as another minister quit Premier Blaine Higgs's cabinet and four former top party officials demanded the premier resign.

Portland-Simonds MLA Trevor Holder, the longest-serving MLA in the legislature, announced in an open letter he was quitting as minister of post-secondary education, training and labour.

"Under the leadership of Premier Higgs, caucus has been less about consensus and more about him getting his own way," Holder wrote.

Oof, Holder is a very long-time MLA. This one's gotta hurt.
