Obviously. Trump wants a yes-man north of the border.

The inability to use my own client was the deciding factor of why I did not go with Tuta when I was email shopping. They’ve got good features and a fair price but that one decision is a serious turn-off imo.

Posteo isn’t a monthly charge to your credit card. It uses a credits that you can top up whenever you feel like it. I usually put in a year’s worth of credits in advance which costs me around $17CAD.

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Posteo. Their features list is very good for the pittance they charge per month.

Agreed. TES just hasn’t had good world design and lore since Morrowind. If I remember correctly, he also wrote much of the books in the TES universe which are still used in Skyrim.

ESO might be an exception. I don’t think it has the best writing but it does have much more interesting lore and world design than Oblivion and Skyrim.

Agreed. Modding doesn’t “fix” Skyrim either. It adds surface-level content and tweaks but the fundamental bones of the game are still there and they are heavily flawed. One of the few exceptions I can think of are things like Skywind but that’s only because it removes Skyrim’s story entirely, overhauls many of its mechanics, and uses the world/lore/story of one of Bethesda’s better games.

And in the case of Starfield - it’s entirely beyond salvaging with mods. Mods will not be able to fix the biggest problems with that game because they are literally the very way the game was made. To fix them would require basically remaking the entire game from scratch.

Basically every American I personally know lives paycheque-to-paycheque as megacorps move in to bleed them dry on every front.

They can take as long as they want. After Starfield, I have zero confidence that TES6 will be any good. Bethesda has some serious issues they need to sort out with their production pipelines and methodology and they need to rethink how they approach story-driven open world experiences.

Every time I see a Starfield video and see the camera turbozoom in on a character as they deliver a forced, robotic line with terrifying facial animations - I get teleported right back to 2006. It is very obvious this studio does not know what they are doing and has learned little from their previous releases and from other contemporary games.

I was able to use that trick to cancel my Adobe sub without a cancellation fee and then bought Affinity Photo 2 right after. I’ve integrated it fully into my workflow now and won’t ever look back.

Fuck Adobe and fuck their stranglehold on creative industries.

BC now has a confirmed NDP majority government so it should be ok for at least the next 4 years. Federally, things are going to get iffy though.

Homes? Apartments? Dorms? The same places Canadians live? I’m not sure what the question you’re asking is. Asylum seekers don’t require special accommodations.

I intend to write to my MP pressing that we need to remain open to accepting those fleeing persecution in the US.

I just want to pop in to say that BC just had its provincial election a few weeks ago and narrowly avoided electing a batshit crazy fascist fringe party by a razor-thin margin. BC might be more progressive on paper but we still fall into the exact same traps that get populist fascists like Trump elected.

Doesn’t help that our voter turnout is pathetic and, generally, progressive-minded people don’t vote.

Conservatives trying to deregulate scam products is entirely on-brand for them.

A phone which can fit snuggly into even the tiniest of my jeans’ pockets sounds really appealing. I’ve kept a loose eye on these things for a while now, but I’ve been constantly put off by the price, durability, and sacrifices made to other features. My carrier also rarely (if ever) seems to extend any sales or promos to folding/flipping phones like they do for others. They are extremely expensive - exceeding even top shelf iPhone Pro’s and Pro Max’s for price.

Reminder to never believe a damn word that comes out of this man’s mouth. https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

They did used to make really good games. It was just a very very very long time ago. Many of the gamers that associate Ubisoft with being shit weren’t even born back when they used to make decent, innovative games.

No thanks. After the BC election I don’t think my mental health can handle watching another circus where people line up to vote away their rights.

If it is going to be a primary computer or a work computer then I would get the Pro. The extra horsepower and cooling just simply make it more capable.

The Air is still a very good laptop and it is surprising what it can do, but if this is going to be a work tool for you then you should get the best that you can afford. An Air might be good 90% of the time but that 10% where it overheats will suck heaps.

Wow, this comment teleported me back to 2010 dealing with edgy 15 year-olds that think their opinion is the only thing that matters.

Turns out, people don’t like it when software is installed on their computers without their permission. Especially when it violates their privacy! The term for this is “malware”.
