warranties on those devices can be invalidated due to no longer being within the provider’s control.

I don’t know if it’s different in the rest of the world. And I don’t know if it’s changed in the 7 years since I last worked in the industry, but in Canada, you cannot invalidate a hardware warranty based on the software that’s installed. If your phone’s speaker dies, it’s a hardware issue and the warranty is impelled to cover it.

Apple Accused of Running a ‘Walled Garden’ by Canadian Legal Watchdog CIPPIC

I mean, welcome to 2008, CIPPIC… Thanks for catching up.

Yes. Absolutely. No-brainer.

Trump is exactly stupid enough to think kidnapping Carney would have the same effect as it did on Venuzuela, because he’s too ignorant to know that that’s not how parliamentary democracies work.

That being said, I would hope that there is a kind of dead-man-switch that will automatically trigger to dump all of our US Debt that we own into the market all at once and do some damage to their economy. Not to mention cutting off their power and closing the borders.

Mine was the laser as well. Unfortunately it was years and years ago and I just tossed it away like an idiot. My collection from then on began collecting dust until last year when I decided to take one of my old Android Phones and a Razer Kishi and turn it into a handheld emulator.

Yeah. I guess I’m too old to understand the drive for better and better graphics.

To me, you don’t repaint a new version of the Mona Lisa just because we have better paints available today.

Graphics (for me) peaked in the 360/PS3 era when games started to nail smooth “movement”. After that it was just about making things more and more photorealistic, which is so completely uninteresting to me because I’m playing a game.

For the last little while now, I’ve been finding that my most played games have been on my old 360 that I decided to plug in again, and my old old PS2 collection that I ripped and loaded to an emulator because the old hardware broke a long time ago.

Third place is “new to me” games that I finally buy when they go on a good sale years after they were “new” (is. RDR2 and Cyberpunk)

I haven’t bought a new AAA title in years on console because I can’t justify the cost.

In order to be accessible to most Albertans, is the question just a crayon drawing of two cousins fucking on a horse with an arrow pointing away?

Oh shit! That’s what we were missing all along! That’s what has, all this time, been keeping adoption down and preventing the year of the linux desktop! A condescending prick talking down to people! We should have figured this out a long time ago! Thanks OP for setting us straight! Now our numbers are sure to skyrocket!

So a trans man, having been assigned female at birth, could compete in women’s sports?

I want to see that happen. Watch Danielle Huckabee Smith’s head explodel

At it’s heart, Krita is a drawing program with a few concessions to photo editing/manipulation. Whereas Gimp is a photo editing software with a few concessions to drawing.

Unless Krita decides to go the full adobe route and try to do both (which I doubt will ever happen), a feature like setting a white point (or any feature that isn’t solely useful for photography but not drawing) will ever be in it.

People making the comparison as though Gimp and Krita are both trying to do the same thing are utterly exhausting.

Liberals of today are quite literally the Progressive Conservatives of yesteryear, before Preston Manning and the Reform party took “Progressive” out of their ethos by merging the Reform Party / Canadian Alliance Party into it and thus hijacking their mandate.

So really there’s no irony about it. The harder right Liberals crossed over to the new Conservative party to play in Stephen Harper’s sandbox. The old-guard “Progressive Conservatives” who were not comfortable moving more right moved over to the liberal party which ended up moving a little bit to the right as a result.

Optimized Repositories for Cachy only have any real effect on newer processors (x86-64-v3 and up). Of course I can still use it on an older machine, but I was asking if my processor (AMD A10 “kaveri”) would be new enough to take advantage of those optimized repositories. (my research so far says no…AMD didn’t add v3 until the next years processors in 2015)

You’re link actually answered my question, though. So thanks! Don’t know why when I searched it wasn’t finding that page for myself. Maybe my Google-fu needs some retraining.

That’s another option as well. It’s between Endeavour, Cachy, or sticking with Manjaro.

Usually my primary consideration is community size and/or team size. Too many linux distributions seem great, but have low support and eventually just vanish, so I always try to stick to the “bigger boys”. Not saying Endeavour is that, but once upon a time it was the new guy on the block and that’s why I’ve waited to consider it. Same with Cachy. I wait to see if they’ve proven their staying power before considering them.

Clearly hubby got caught with a side-piece in the nest when mom came home early.

That’s not a fail. That’s just french.

Agreed. I’m pretty embarassed to be Canadian at the moment.

I’m very likely wrong, but I’ve been told that that could be low-key sponsorship. Make sure the mic that you are using is prominently in view, etc… etc…

Carl Sagan had a couple of rough marriages and an iffy relationship with his children, but I never heard of him being a “dick” to the public in any way. Similarly Steve Irwin (who I would consider a science educator) was awesome.

I think it’s less that the there’s a correlation between fame and science educator than simple ego and brains. NDT would be an asshole even if he wasn’t famous, because being smart just goes to some people’s heads.

50 years old and I can still learn something new. Whodathunkit.
