My dad’s side of the family is all native French and default to speaking that. I grew up with my English mum though so I didn’t learn it. It makes family gatherings on that side a bit awkward since I’ll just be sitting there trying to parse what everyone is talking about

Edit: this is in Canada

Getting pretty uncomfortable (and beyond angry) with how much focus Americans have had on us lately. Combined with the 51st state shit too makes me really worried

And how do you keep noise/heat down?

I keep it all down in my unfinished basement away from everything 😅

But for real, I got a used fully enclosed server rack for pretty cheap ($300 CADish) from a company who was moving entirely to the cloud and that thing can keep a lot of noise contained. I have three servers and a chunky network switch so its all pretty loud but when I close the rack’s door it reduces the volume by at least 50%. If its open I’m easily able to hear it from my ground floor but not otherwise

Please don’t, I’m tired boss 😢. I wish more than anything that people here would just vote at all but apparently my province doesn’t care enough to

You just need to setup a reverse proxy. My Jellyfin instance has been accessed from all over the world

They agreed to the tax by paying it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“The common thread among Plaintiffs’ claims is that it is somehow ‘unfair’; that Nintendo has not retroactively adjusted its prices for completed sales in response to the outcome of the tariff litigation,” Nintendo’s statement continues, adding that this is “not how commercial transactions work.”

Then why the fuck would Nintendo themselves get a refund?

I respect the purpose of the bot but I think maybe it’d be better to have a dedicated community for it? Or at least include the petition name in the title since right now it kind of fills up the feed with very little substance

At the very least, I can be happy that we’re not fighting against both economic and social conservatism in Canada.

God forbid a child sees a nipple while ripping through people with chainsaws and automatic firearms 😡

Our collective response to getting fleeced is to just shrug and pay the higher prices while bitching about it.

What exactly can we even do outside of voting? Even that seems futile with the Liberals convincing* the left to vote for them “strategically”. You can’t really survive without a phone plan but there’s no smaller telcos to use for 90% of people

Also they knew exactly what they were doing before sending it ACCORDING TO THEMSELVES. They even chose not to send the email to German users because of it

I can agree with the corporations ruining things part but I do like when governments force companies to respect data privacy.

I can agree with the government part too when it’s forcing services to scan your ID though

I use it daily as that’s where my friend group is but we’ve been looking for an alternative since it is definitely getting bad. It’s at the VC funding stage where they now need to actually make money so enshittification is happening quickly.

There was also the whole Palantir-linked age verification thing they briefly announced and then partially rolled back. A TL;DR would be that it’s the same old thing that happens to every closed source VC funded service

+1 to Garage being great! I used it for a personal project and it worked really well. A lot of S3 data browsing clients also support it natively or just through API compatibility too

The ultra rich hate everyone. They’re psychopaths* who only care about pumping up the numbers in their bank accounts. Nationality and community is meaningless to them outside of knowing which politicians are susceptable to bribes

edit: change sociopaths to psychopaths

I’m sure conservatives will be completely consistent in their opinions on immigration when it’s white Americans coming here

I’m in Ontario myself and it’s mind-boggling but it’s partially because his voters stick any negatives on the federal Liberal party and any positives on Ford. Ford has been completely gutting our provincial public healthcare system but a Conservative upset about hospitals shutting down or whatever will just direct all that anger towards Mark Carney (or non-white immigrants…)

If I were to make an educated guess then I’d say yes he was probably chartering private jets all the time. Ford is such a POS and I hate my province for repeatedly electing him (by way of voting for or not voting at all)

A vast majority of Canadians live in the Windsor-Quebec City coridor. With high quality and affordable HSR, I could travel from my home in Ottawa to any city inbetween for a show, job, whatever and be able to sleep in my own bed that night. Maybe you actually enjoy driving 6-10 hours to the nearest other city but I can assure you that most of Canada would prefer to take a 1-2 hour long train ride where you can sit back and turn your brain off instead of staring at the bumper of the person ahead of you for hours

And Canada is a massive country, yeah, but where does our population mainly live? If you just focus on our main population centres then it’s easy to connect us all. Nobody’s asking for a rail link to far northern Nunavut.

NOT TO MENTION the fact that we managed to connect the entirety of Canada by rail a century ago with far less advanced technology
