Making the CGI team work for their money

Looks like it’s equally a Windows problem as it is an LG problem. Why the fuck are you automatically installing shit off the internet when peripherals get connected?

They might be trying to detect ban evasion in various ways, but at least since Android 10 (released 2019), the OS restricts app access to non-resettable identifiers. That being said, Meta is known for dirty tricks, so simply using another phone number may indeed not be enough.

Effectively, they are getting paid by you, landlords factors that fee into the rent. But I get the point that the market favours landlords where you live and you might not have the privilege to ask for accommodations like communicating over SMS. This WhatsApp situation is fucked up, that your basic life functionality depends on a single unaccountable commercial entity.

My practical advice would be to buy an eSIM with a new number, there are very cheap options (like one used for travel) and you would practically need it just one time to get a verification code.

Really not sure it’s a good thing. I’m all for supporting Canadian businesses, but VPN is one area where it makes less sense. Even without Bill C-22, don’t shit where you eat.

I was talking about the packaging, not the brand. However setting my VPN exit node to a US location and looking up pictures of the product, most results do indeed have the same English-French labelling, funny.

Funny how my brain recognizes Canadian packaging before I consciously register the bilingual labelling.

I saw his ugly face and automatically read “draws a flask”

Ha! Also, small world, OOP is a friend of a friend.

Age might be a factor though. Recently I found a stash of floppies from around 2002, which were definitely good when they were stored. I think I was eventually able to extract only about 20% of the data.

No clue who Frank Castle is, but Castle Frank is an area and a subway station in Toronto.

Not really a close relative, cacao is not a legume

I think what OP is complaining about is the use of the term “Senate” without clarifying that it’s in fact the United States Senate. Although it’s pretty clear from context if you know anything about world affairs.

A Canadian public broadcaster should use the term to refer to the Senate of Canada, unless specified otherwise. I don’t think we should have a Senate, but we do, and as long as we do that is The Senate.

Very nice initiative. However it seems that it is a library of links, not code.

Most/all source is hosted on GitHub. It would be cool if this library can host the actual repositories.

I’m proud to be incompatible with Apple

Similar sentiment but for a completely different reason: as a Canadian I love our short summer. Cloudy and dreary summer days don’t give me FOMO when I choose or have to stay indoors instead of spending time outside.

Fuck Doug Ford indeed.

🤮

The cars in this rendering are fucking huge
