The tough-on-crime people should really be pushing for the death penalty here.

Zero chance this company replaced him with an AI that actually does anything useful.

I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

Well to be fair it’s:

Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation; and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario

It’s still embarrassing to throw AI in there.

Really what we need is a Minister of (dis)Information to stop foreign tech companies from fucking us over so much.

It’s such a good idea. I can’t believe they didn’t think of it sooner.

Now I’m thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

This asshole is going to be the least bad option for President, isn’t he?

Just going to look for a picture of her, and… yep.

I thought I was on /c/gardening for a second.

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.

I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

No details were provided on how the tariff would be implemented.

Lol. How do you do this without just making it a sales tax on tickets?

50% of this country forms their view of the world from what Meta Platforms, Inc. wants them to see.

This is what I came here to say. This is a sovereignty issue they could solve with a miniscule portion of their defense budgets.

Less far fetched but equally hilarious would be to get Singh and Pedneault in there.

They could make their campaigns all about being ‘the best loser’, ‘we deserve a second chance’, or something like that.

This would be the funniest thing. Can I take credit for it?

Interesting. In Canada security only checks your boarding pass, and they check ID at the gate as you’re boarding.

It seems logical if you want to verify that the right people are getting on the plane.

I usually just get my boarding pass by email, which doesn’t require ID, and at the kiosk you can just do it with your reservation number.
