Looking forward to this circus not being in the news cycle any more. These birds were infected and were a threat to BC and Canada’s ecological and agricultural security and the fact it dragged out this damn long is frustrating.

Yeah, same here.

Bitwarden.

I’m with Posteo.

On the plus side: Building and maintaining a nuclear stockpile is extremely expensive. This will serve as yet another open, gushing tap on Russia’s finances as they haemorrhage money from the war.

I am open to the idea of paying for quality services that put the customer first. Hell, I pay for my email and have done so for years.

But Kagi has always squicked me out a bit. Some of their business practices over the years have been rather questionable, especially their push into AI which is exactly the sort of thing someone looking at Kagi would probably want to avoid. They are also very expensive. They’re one of those services that just assumes everyone is American so they just give a $ cost and don’t specify beyond that, so I’m going to assume their prices are in USD which means a plan for my dad and myself is $21CAD a month. That absurdly overpriced for a search engine subscription.

To put that into perspective: A YouTube premium family plan covers up to 6 accounts and is the same price and includes unlimited video and music streaming. Thoughts about YouTube aside and looking at this from a pure value perspective, paying that same price just for a search engine is a godawful shit deal. Do you know what my email costs per month? $1.25CAD

Get that nazi crap out of here.

The ultimate form is basically what the US has done / is doing: Sell off everything to corporate interests and wash their hands of it.

The TES series in general for its massive, expansive lore.

But Morrowind in particular has absolutely incredible world-building with incredible creativity and originality. There is a reason why so many people keep going back to the n’wah simulator and it’s because the world is so rich and fleshed out. So much of the following games was built off Morrowind’s stunning work.

They need lifetimes in prison for treason and domestic terrorism.

We’re going to need one of those 500,000,000fps high speed cameras to record the duration of the ceasefire.

A complete shutdown of the Albertan economy would be amazing. Fuck Smith and the UCP.

The 1080p for premium users is garbage too. Youtube’s video quality in general is shockingly poor. If there is even a slight amount of noisy movement on screen (foliage, confetti, rain, snow, etc) the the video can literally become unwatchable.

The most corrupt provincial government in Canada doing what it does best.

Kind of a tangent, but properly encoded 1080p video with a decent bitrate actually looks pretty damn good.

A big problem is that we’ve gotten so used to streaming services delivering visual slop, like YouTube’s 1080p option which is basically just upscaled 720p and can even look as bad as 480p.

Good point.

How many times is this game going to get remade…

It all makes sense now.

Subnautica 2 is so screwed.

So many things are filmed in Vancouver and BC in general and yet they always turn it into some place in the USA. I’ve heard Vancouver described as “the city that never plays itself” which I think is fitting.
