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.

Love that place. Been there numerous times over the years.

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.

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”.

A lot of Linux users here think the conversation begins and ends with game support. A lot of us use our computers for work and there is a lot of productivity and creative software that does not play nice with Linux. I’ve probably said this a dozen times here before but I’ll say it again: Not all of us use our computers solely for gaming.

I expected them to charge more, to be honest.

Games that change their terms post-sale should present the customer the option for an automatic no-questions-asked refund. Leaving the customer with the options: Agree, Decline, Refund.

The features customers actually want vs what the shareholders tell them they want.

iPhone 14 Pro. Got it deeply discounted from my carrier when the 15 line came out.

It’s ok, but it’s a modern smartphone like any other so I have too many dislikes to say it’s the best. The phone I think of most fondly was probably my LG Keybo 2

I can’t see these being used for anything other than tourism or light general aviation use… And even then the areas they can fly/land will be so restricted because of how loud they are.

I gave Mastodon a couple of tries but I don’t think I lasted more than a few days in either instance. I’m just really not into that style of social media, regardless of who the provider of the service is. I do not understand the point of it nor how to “correctly” interact with it.

I also found Mastodon to be extremely confusing and so has every person that I have directed to it. Mastodon’s website and docs do a very poor job explaining how it works to people who are not already in-the-know about federated services. Lemmy was a bit confusing too but I had a much easier time grasping it - although that could be because I have more experience with Reddit-styled websites.

I wish it all the best because it seems like people are just making moves to other VC-owned, private, enshittified platforms that will abuse/exploit their users. I want Mastodon to succeed but often feel like it doesn’t doing much to help its own case.

Ahh, that makes sense.

The mini has always given me the impression that it exists simply to drive sales towards the more expensive models. Although I’m surprised they still make it considering they’ve axed the mini iphone a few generations ago.

Personally, I don’t feel like any iPad is worth the cost though because of how limited iPadOS is.
