That's a horrifying, dystopian future I'd rather not be a part of. Everybody should be entitled to health-care no matter what their life choices. If you drive a motorcycle and get in an accident, you should expect the same level o

I guess there's the concern for analytics/data harvesting - but it would be nice to see # of requests for data deletion are, even filterable by country - see who the top offenders are which would make it a bit easier to see who th

Yeah - I've never understood the heavy-hand of government/society and urban-life people forcing ideologies onto people in rural areas - especially when urbanites have no idea what it's like to live rurally. Have fun using you

Let's not look at politicians and senators insider trading. Let's not look at simplifying the tax code to make it easier/cheaper/free for normal people to file taxes and harder for the rich and powerful to hide their wea

It'd probably be hard to source parts and equipment - I think farmers are likely to be restricted by emissions regulations/requirements - wouldn't be easy to put a school bus engine into a tractor without some serious carbon&

I have a group of friends who looked at the BBC article talking about this RTR MOU - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64206913 - and after reading it, were claiming confidently that it helped push forward right to rep

A law firm in Canada has won a class-action against Epic Games for something to do with LootBoxes/VBucks - if you're eligible you get $25 bucks! I only got it because it's somehow related to Rocket League drops as well. Thank

Leave food the bear likes outside - like berries, fat, your arms or legs - soon the bear will develop a close but short-lived bond with you!

This is exactly the reason why I'm trying my best to keep my non-smart vehicle running as well as possible for as long as possible. I have no idea what exactly will be exposed to the manufacturer's backend, what can be manipulated

It really has seemed in the past couple of years that Windows suddenly just stops working right - start menu stops coming up, new explorer windows won't open, etc. etc. - which MaGiCaLlY fixes itself when I hit restart and wouldn'

Canadian telecoms have to be one of the most oligopolous (is that a word?) set of companies in the country. Telus, Bell, Rogers all 'competing' with each other, each of them owning several 'budget/flank' brands so t

I think it'll mean that corporations will need to go back to making electronics, appliances, equipment, tools, etc. that actually last more than 3-5 years. "Can't go and buy another TV off the shelf since they cost so much, g

I've tried to stay mostly ignorant about the war for my own health - what has been released or talked about that makes people think Putin will launch nukes and destroy a bunch of land and cause untold death and destruction to numerous

If I have to choose between a massive tech corporation being able to know exactly what I do with the car I've bought, as well as the cops begin able to retrieve the same data, and buying a 20+ year old "gas guzzler" that has

He hasn't been arrested yet because of one of the reasons below.: - It's easier for the government to hunt down $600+ transactions instead of trying to navigate their own obtuse, complicated tax laws - wonder if that's intent

It's wonderful to see a piece of OSS add yet another year onto its life! More people should be aware of open source alternatives to mainstream/first-party software like Photoshop! I'd sure like more features and a UI that loo

Thanks for acknowledging and supporting - mental illness is such a hidden "we don't talk about this" thing in society and people don't pay a lot of attention to it because they can't easily directly observe it in ot

I was bullied both in school and by my own father (who has Asperger's and a mean streak of narcissism) growing up - definitely suffering the long-term and forever consequences in my life because of it. Low self-esteem, no confidence in

Because given the chance, one person at the right place at the right time can make all the difference in the world. See _any_ political assassination attempt/success in recent history. It's not to defend against the local police f

It is truly interesting seeing in Canada how they're slowly removing gun rights away from their citizens - while also pushing bills like C-11 that allow governments to influence what social media companies can show to Canadians' e

I'd have a problem if they were autonomously picking and choosing who lives or dies - like autonomous driving algorithms. If there's a police officer trained in controlling and using the robot then there shouldn't be any qual

There's no racism to be found - why do people conflate issues with the way the Chinese _government_ chooses to operate with the Chinese _people_ themselves? The Chinese government technically owns TikTok - No doubt in my mind profile&#

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying - maybe I didn't articulate it properly. We have all these things going on today because of the actions of governments over the past 10-20-30 years. I didn't cause the infl

The societal 'culture' has changed so rapidly that you'd hear cries of racism, bigotry, ignorance, etc. if you even suggested slowing/stopping immigration to the current party in power. I get we've got low birth rat
