Started with Ubuntu’s initial 4.10 release back in '04. I wish I still had the Live CD they mailed me. When Ubuntu ditched Gnome for Unity I switched to Mint. Up until a few months ago I was dual-booting Windows alongside it, but with 10’s EOL approaching I’m ditching it.

I do keep an old laptop running Win10 specifically for some Audio-related software I just can’t get to work in Linux.

To be honest, even if that wasn’t the case I still couldn’t be convinced to go south of the border. I don’t want to contribute to their economy if I can avoid it.

My stepfather works for a company based in the US. They recently had to cancel a conference since it was in Ohio, and nearly all the staff here refused to attend.

This is going to affect more than just tourism.

Only when people try to speak French to me, how dare they?

At least when I was a kid (in Ontario), we aren’t taught Quebecois French. We’re taught Parisienne French.

A mixture of practice, and genuinely not caring what the outcome is.

In my neighbourhood they’re all gone. There are quite a few liberal ones left sitting out on some intersections though.

Thank you. Sharing paywalled links amounts to nothing more than advertising.

Anytime I see “bleeding heart” I know what follows after is complete bullshit.

Nestle is one of the largest “employers” of children on Earth. The practices they use for Chocolate farming alone are enough to vilify them permanently.

then don’t expect anyone to bother helping you.

either a bot, or an lazy/inconsiderate typist.

I once heard someone define it as “The opposite of yoink”.

Wired isn’t an option. ISP’s no longer 56k service over phone, nor Broadband DSL.

Fibre requires a main trunk line nearby, which are typically routed through cell towers. No cell tower, no fibre or cable service.

There is no Canadian alternative that can provide a service like Starlink. I live in a rural area, and they’re literally the only way I can get a reliable internet connection. I’ve tried Xplornet and Mobile Broadband, neither can provide a reliable connection, or are have prohibitive bandwidth caps.

I’m not even that far from Toronto, I’m technically still in the GTA. There are no cell towers nearby due to the community protesting against them going up. I’m lucky to get a single bar on a clear day.

I’m all for using a Canadian alternative, but there just isn’t one for a lot of people.

Poop.

I’m in my mid-30’s and I still giggle like a child when I see it. I don’t care how infantile it is, I like what I like.

Butt and Boobs also get honourable mentions.
