If you can’t buy Canadian, as with most textile goods, then buy nobody-else and thrift it. A recent visit to a big thrift store got us two nice fabric shower curtains for under $20.

Because the endgame of the way we are developing the technology is not Star Trek but I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

It’s an existential threat, a Great Filter.

The rich get richer and the poor get roommates.

If we can’t send a verified third-party investigation into a supply chain, ethical standards demand restrictions, product disclosure, and if necessary, sanction.

However, ethically, such standards must be neutrally and universally applied, or they weaken into corruption. For example, any implementation of the labour standards listed in the USA Constitution’s 13th Amendment.

Quotas lead to bad behaviour. Inherently corrupt.

Fuck ICE, and all the imitators.

Please yes please

Call it Bill 13A

If you bring medicines with you, you’re responsible for determining their legality before departing.

• Contact the foreign government office accredited to Canada of the country you plan to visit to confirm the status of your medications.

You don’t need to share any server technology names, just that it’s the Matrix protocol or “platform”, or even just “Element” if they are using that app. I don’t tell other matrix users they are on a Synapse server.

Only the host needs to know about the server app name, and is the only one who interacts with it directly.

The Salish? What do they have to do with the fleet other than naval bases being in their territory?

Nothing in the article about them.

Last few times I was in there they were making claims about sourcing Canadian beef. Veggie burger is good. It’s the only fast food place I go to. Proudly Canadian I think.

Lately Indigo supply got spotty—HomeHardware franchise is the only one carrying them in the local village, but they access the national supplier network so I don’t know why. People were gaming when shipments were arriving at the hardware store and being disappointed. Avoiding giving sodastream any money because of the boycott is apparently something people know about.

But also Indigo takes the canisters back. And is cheaper.

Cool! But why stop there?

Add automation to the sensors that turn on the disco lights when there’s couch nookie goin’ on!

Can you run an automatic chicken door with that? Last time I looked, DIY arduino was the way, but a zwave mechanism with homeassistant automation sounds excellent.

No, really. We don’t actually need your money. At least, not here and now.

We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that’s over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.

Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team.

So give that applause-cash to a jellyfin client dev!

Oh that’s rich coming from NSA-land

A similar but not quite as retro endeavour would be hosting a Hotline server.

I didn’t say make the sentence community service, which you seem to imply. New justice systems will be complex and results-oriented. Yeah responsibility for dangerous jobs needs to focus up the ladder. Jail as punishment doesn’t solve any of the problems except preventing interaction with free society. Victims don’t see justice or restitution, only vengeance. The expense is huge. Accomplices go free.

Onoff, eh? ‘I can’t think of an easy answer so there must be none’

That lack of nuance combined with an aversion to improving shitty systems that don’t work, and an aversion to whatever the science says in combination with front-line problem solvers, characterizes conservative policy.

They do run on an old fashioned and unscientific yearning for vengeance-as-justice, yessss.

An empiricist government might address the whole ‘16 hours of continuous driving’ that is rampant in the industry, make sure he never drives again, and make the sentence include some kind of restitution.

But performative punishment is more fun yeah? Stockades and then chopping off a hand might satisfy those folks.
