I think you mean heresy. But maybe I don't get the reference you're making when you say hearsay

sure, except if you're Canadian like the man in question you can't do that for US law. Easier to use local-first software than influence the laws of every country where a service provider you could potentially one day use be based

I had a (non-Palantir) job with a description similar to an FDE a decade and a half ago and we were just called "field engineers". It was a job done mostly by people in their early to mid 20s. The business function was there long

I share a bed with my wife and I like to read past when she goes to sleep. It's really nice to be able to read in bed with a frontlit device without having to bother with whether I'll accidentally flash my nightlight on her face i

What a bizarre comment. I'm Canadian, and during my misspent youth I spent time in Wisconsin and in Boston. I didn't drive in those places and I don't drive here. I did finally cave recently and bought a cargo bike (not elect

Yeah, I'm 39 years old, I don't need to flee age verification. I just am not interested in having an account on a chat service that would do this. I don't want my driver's license and biometric information to be stored i

US prices are no less insane for people paid in CAD than they were two years ago.

I know it might be hard for a population who elected the current POTUS twice, but some of us mean what we say. I fail to see what's so surprising about this.

I don't know how it would work for people who can travel visa free, but for people on K-1, F-, M- and J-visas, as well as for people on work visas, you're required to set your social media visibility to public between the time whe

There's a subreddit for software people with adhd and it's terrible, every second post is about a New and Exciting Tool to manage adhd. Most of them are vibe coded, all of them come from randos I wouldn't trust with what I ha

I spent a lot of time in Latin America growing up, including in parts that didn't have public libraries. Your comment is shocking to me, I guess I just assumed most developed countries has libraries that function in similar ways. Wikip

This comment is nonsensical. The parts of Canada the author cares about are also alive and well in Canada and your entire premise is that they're not

ah yes, the places where women can expect to die if they happen to need medical care while pregnant and where LGBTQ people are not treated the same as most citizens. Sounds lovely.

I was not born in Canada, but I chose to immigrate here and it's one of the top 5 best choices I've ever made. I have access to so much that in other places would be wildly expensive. My life is richer due to the diversity of the

I am against companies doing age verification like this due to the surveillance effects, but I agree with you that the censorship angle is not a good one. I suppose mainly because I don't think a non-minor committing suicide with ChatG
