That’s kinda what they do. They release the older stuff for free once they have the newer things. Also duck.ai does a good job of anonymizing your prompts, so it is an OK investment, and the chats are stored only on the browser. Be sure to know how to properly wipe browser history to remove all traces of the chat you had if you want to be 100% private.

I use Venice.ai, which is another private anonymous LLM that only stores chats on browsers.

I played the first game exactly once for a few minutes. I want to see it now.

Every single one of them needs to be arrested and charged with war crimes.

Edit: the Criminal Code of Canada exempts most militaries of many charges. For example the explosives act specifically states that it does not apply to military personnel operating under military orders or action.

That should be scrapped for any IDF member. Anyone who served there should charged with the same firearms and explosives offenses that an armed robber or pipe bomber would if they were committing crimes in Canada.

My phone plan will be paid off by summer. I will buy a Google pixel that can handle grapheneOS.

My last phone model was a Motorola G5 Power… which was great for that. But nooooooo… it HAD to die on me!

We’re supposed to just sit there in the burning room and say ‘this is fine’.

I am extremely aware of that. But at the same time they’re also working very hard to continue to share all information with the Americans that would make that a very, very difficult thing. With the US increasingly becoming more like Israel and their utter and complete lack of restraint and ethics and morality, they will absolutely use any and all information on how Canadians are preparing for anything for attacks and sabotage. They absolutely WILL ‘double tap’ any ambulance or anyone trying to administer aid after an attack, whether it is EMTs or the fire department, or just some guys with supermarket first aid kits and fire extinguishers.

And yet Canadian legal gun owners have to pay for that. With the gun bans of the past 6 years banned almost every semi-automatic rifle by name, grandfathering all handguns, and now shotguns are being added to the list.

They are also looking to expand rifle bans to include any rifle with a detachable magazine… news flash: most bolt-action rifles have detachable magazines.

I was not expecting to see something like this today…

I am on matrix partially and am going to go on stoat.

Thanks… I hate it. There is a part of the article that asks ‘where does it stop?’ My answer is it does not.

This is why I really, really hate Carney. He talk about how the new world order and how the old order is breaking down and how Canada and the rest need to abandon globalization as it demonstrates its potential for abuse (gee, right now? Some people have been saying it for decades). Yet at the exact same time he kowtows to US tech companies, is trying to pass (and probably going to pass) massive surveillance and control over civilians that will destroy any semblance of privacy, and those same bills are going to 100% share all that information with not only US governmental agencies, but also private companies. Don’t get me started on Bill C-15 that wants to make Canadian companies (and probably many US companies working in Canada) exempt from civil law. Maybe those bills will be amended to make them less ‘extreme’ but they will still ultimately pass and have a lot of the bullshit they want kept in. I wish those bills could be thrown out all together, but they won’t, they never are.

He is also increasing the military budget but wants to focus on ‘unconventional’ warfare since Canada will never be able to defeat the US military in a straight fight. Good idea… but why is it making it so much more difficult by still having 100% intelligence sharing with the Americans that will make pockets of resistance (both regular and reserve military and maybe civilians banding together) far less effective and easier to quash?

Edit: One of the unconventional war aspects he says is a ‘civilianized’ fighting force. Basically meaning militias or discharged soldiers taking up arms out of uniform. This is already going to be VERY difficult. The Americans already have a list of everyone with a RPAL/PAL (but maybe not what firearms they have registered in their names) and probably already know who is and who isn’t military or ex-military. I know this because I have a valid RPAL and a long time ago I was stopped by a cop in the US (accidental traffic violation) and after the guy took my license and registeration, he called for backup and I had several other police cars with lights on. The whole thing didn’t result in anything other than the usual ticket for me, but I was very confused by the delay and the fact that several other police cars showed up for what was a very minor traffic violation. He told me that he saw that I had a firearms permit and needed time to talk to the RCMP about it.

it was really fucking weird and kinda unnerving as to how much they know.

People give the Soviet Union a lot of shit for their 5 year plans that never seem to fully pan out. But no one gives a fuck about Elon Musk’s predictions.

Similar to how the Ford Pinto is still a joke in the auto industry even though Teslas are much, MUCH more fire/explosion prone than a junk car from the 1970s and have killed far more people. The death rate of Pintos vs. other cars of the period was not as different as some people think, but the death rate of Teslas? That is higher.

so he’s going to cause famines in OTHER countries then? That isn’t much better. Just like this destruction of USAID (as you mentioned) had already killed hundreds of thousands of people.

He is going to cause a famine, isnt he?

It all just fucking sucks.

Satire is dead.

The increasingly aggressive gun bans that have been happening in the past 6 years is making this damn near impossible. Those bans also made shooting sports and gun ownership a very hostile and uncertain thing. Meaning you’ll end up having only hardcore people owning guns.

Handing out weapons to most people in this case will be a recipe for disaster. Most have neither the training nor the interest and desire to do it. Even those hardcore gun guys might be good at target shooting, but that is not the same as combat shooting.

I wanted to get into practical shooting but the gun laws effectively made that impossible for me. Every time I had my eyes set on a rifle they banned that model and all alternatives by name. Now they are putting most shotguns on the chopping block. No new handguns are allowed to be sold, and all existing handguns registered are grandfathered. In effect, very few new people are willing to take up shooting sports to develop an interest in this and those existing ones aren’t too happy with the government.

As in I like him and I think he is a cool character. For a honey badger, he is really chill. He should be like the meme and really, REALLY not give a fuck!

He looks like an aging prisoner convicted of murder and has pulled out of prison after 50 years for a photo op.

That is probably it. I work with a lot of truckers who have to cross the border. I always wish them good luck.
