It’s sad that tech companies have manipulated the markets worldwide to the point where a 5090 is a luxury worthy of a wedding.
It’s touching to see a married couple happy to support each other’s hobbies and interests.
You stay put where you are.
I like stinky tofu a lot. I’m Canadian. I’m excited to see my country grow. I’m new to lemmy. I prefer local communities over public ones, until I’m convinced otherwise. I’m bad at writing bios.

Felons should be able to vote!


Agreed. I read it as they’re going to fully comply. They’re a relatively conservative Taiwanese company so it tracks with what I know of their corporate culture. Synology is basically Taiwanese Nintendo in that regard.
I keep my NAS off the internet but do occasionally connect to update packages from Package Manager. I may have to start doing those updates offline as well.
Edit: btw here’s a local and offline script I found long ago for activating Synology features offline that normally require registration (which requires accepting their TOS and privacy policy). Things like advanced codecs, Synology Drive features, etc. It has worked for me relatively recently. Use an adblocker when visiting just to be safe, as always. Here it is.


Lmao is it April 1st already? This is so fucking funny to me


Just as they warned Australia about removing algorithms from social media?
Their interests are quite clear to all but the most deluded.


Please please please please please please vote!


Fantastic! Advocacy works, people!
To my homies in TO, keep it up. If things start getting spicy I’ll take the GO down and join you all


If you ever see an item in the grocery store that says “Prepared in Canada”, it means nothing of value, avoid them for their deceptive practices.
Depending on where you live there are likely farmers’ markets and/or local producers within a reasonable drive. In my experience it can range as far as price, and flavour is almost always better.
At least it’s a way to reduce reliance and dependence on this oligopoly.


If anyone else has info on companies and their plans for C-22 I think it would be super useful to paste them or link them in a comment here
Edit: and if you think there are communities worth crossposting in please lmk! I don’t normally crosspost but if it will help more Canadians in any way then I’m all for it


It’s almost astounding how much of a joke America is today


As long as Linus Torvalds lives, which I hope will be forever, the Linux kernel will never be AI slop.
Whether any particular distro is slop, that’s another story.


AI ethics aside (but not discounted overall), if there’s one person I trust above all others to use an LLM to assist in coding properly, it’s Linus Torvalds.


I’m on that hill with you, brother.


I think we actually agree but there might be a partial misunderstanding. There was an example another commenter made of their experience with Xcancel. I think that explains it a bit more clearly.
Edit: this comment
Ya really do, dontcha?
