Telesat Lightspeed main focus is enterprise and defense clients though, they don’t plan to expand into direct consumer service which would require a larger deployment.

Still nice to have an alternative to Starlink for that purpose though.

Look at all the expenses we’ve managed to cut for profit records that will permanently cripple the future quarters!

Personally I drink more for the taste than the alcohol now, and I switched to low-alcholol or alcohol-free beers and mocktails.

Went once, that was enough.

The secrecy requirements is also a terrible thing for transparency and accountability.
Can’t wait for a ministerial order to request broad data without proper oversight. /s

If the government needs to operate in the shadow to maintain law and order, they aren’t better than the criminals they’re fighting against. We don’t need this bill to accomplish public safety, there’s already an established process and it’s called a warrant.

Not sure which one is worse, lying about not knowing about the negotiations, or being incompetent as a leader where your staff do things behind your back.

You’d have a better experience with using LUKS encryption on your live bootable environment.

I found this some days ago, not sure how viable this might be over time, but having this on products to make it easier to identify their origin might help consumers prioritize products made in Canada with Canadian ingredients

Then your post is going down for being non-factual.

Yet in polling done by legitimate neutral pollsters, 80% of the Chinese citizens are satisfied with their government, and are optimistic about it.

Please provide an actual source.

Anything that is a natural monopoly and acts like a utility should belong to the state IMO.

At first I thought this was a Beaverton article, wtf

Blame the elected officials for forcing Valve’s hands. Valve effectively had these choices:

• Stop operating in Australia
• Not comply and pay fines
• Use CC as an indirect way to verify age (since banks are regulated themselves and do identify verification before issuing one)
• Do age verification (by themselves themselves or through a third-party) and put users data at risk in case of a data leak

To me it seems like they chose the least risky option available. One more thing Valve could do is exempt accounts that are older than xx years old.

Scrap the pipeline, and build the refinery to handle it all ourselves instead of sending our crude to Texas.

The only right move is to stand up to bullies.

It does seem suspicious though. ehnow.ca was registered on 2025-02-13 and its cert issuer is Google Trust Services, US, while ehnw.ca was registered on 2026-01-07 and its cert issuer is Amazon, US. That seems like an odd discrepancy.

It may be their “url shortener” domain, but for one single letter that seems a bit futile.

I’m not saying the intent is malicious, but most of us are security conscious on the Fediverse.

Also even though it’s a Canadian platform, I find it a bit dissapointing I can’t even read the content of a single post without having to give my phone number.

Looks like the content is locked behind a login, any way to make this visible without signing up?

Yeah it definitely wasn’t all perfect, but at least major bugs were ironed out before launch. I don’t mind the glitch here and there, what bothers me is the quality of games when they release, some are truely pushed out to be sold way too early because the worst thing that can happen is a bit of bad press.

Why? It made it really important for developers and publishers to release a polished game that worked on day one, because if you fucked up, you’d have to recall the cartridges or discs for replacement.

And you know what you bought would keep working, wouldn’t require a patch or download if you used it in another game console, decades after, without needing anything but a functional cartridge/disc+console, even if the publisher/developer/console maker doesn’t exist anymore.

I just wanna go back to the time where games were offline by default and couldn’t be updated after release…
