Its a bit before my time, rhanks for sharing! Seems like the old addage “a sucker is born every minute” is alive and flourishing. People are arguing Libs vs Cons when its basically a few levers they can pull while the unseen arm of capitalism moves along. all the politicians and their cronies seem to take the lions share whike we squabble… Media should be more accountable and tell us rubes when we’re being bamboozled

Giving it only to the poor, it is a charity intended to help people who are unable to support themselves.

It’s also close to what we have now. If we start picking and choosing it just comes back to the current system. Wealth needs redistribution of massive orders to have an equitable society. Isn’t it wild that MSFT is one of the richest companies because they ripped off Xerox in the 80s? They’re not Canadian, but bad actors are rewarded far too frequently under our current system.

So let’s also remove all tax deductions too, maybe carve out a system we find neccessary for society but take the tax off applied at purchase. If we feel they are needed so the product is cheaper from the consumer (ie. pharmacy drugs, textbooks, tuition, etc.), maybe even put the burden on the seller to collect the taxes at the end of the tax period. If they sell 100 textbooks at $200, and we give them to the students at like $180, then maybe the seller can recoup the difference quarterly during their tax time. This would make doing taxes easier for consumer, easier to audit for CRA as instead of potentially everyone having textbooks and having to validate you just need to make sure textbook sellers are claiming the textbook rebates.

To go even further (which I think could be necessary with rich people getting play money under UBI, or they’d squirrel it away), be done with church tax-exempt status, non-profits, donations, investment losses as reducing tax burden, otherwise it’s very easy to screw the system. If you feel strongly for a non-profit, then donate! I wouldn’t discourage that. But the tingly feeling you get in your heart should be it’s own reward, we shouldn’t have had a financial incentive. It makes the whole thing perverse IMO.

Having taught college level students software development, Ctrl-c & ctrl-v was foreign to many

I’ve been voting for 20 years, but follow US politics more than up here. I just know green/liberal/ndp would really benefit from any voting method that’s not fptp, and would enjoy a split on the right as well.

It’d be nice to see the small part of land they’d take with them when the First Nations get theirs first. I’m sure none of the oil and gas is on land that would secede. I saw years ago when Quebec wanted to separate that all the hydro electric would be remaining in Canada and given to First Nations, prob the same for AB.

Can’t even figure out seceding right, maybe they need their own country as a time out to think how dumb they are

While I’m sure it’s true of most of the fediverse, hopefully at some point echo chambers can be broken. Maybe the chuds who scream like children at anything they don’t recognize as their ilk doesn’t need to be assaulted with lunacy.

So basically I hope all will leave Meta and the social media platforms of yore, even if they’re mouth breathing chuds. Maybe getting into a dose of friendliness will be their antidote to the big crazy

Split the right like the left? Sorry, I can only get so erect

Hopefully 338 elections poll from yesterday is what’s gonna happen. I friggen despise PP.

Get out and vote today folks!

All good! I tried using Magisk to change the boot.img for Lineage OS and it seemingly worked (phone still boots) but doesn’t seem like root was enabled or maybe I’m missing something. It’s just one edge case, but kind of important. Figured too many pin attempts to wipe device should be a feature I want on my Lineage devices

Steve boots has decent content, but yea bit obnoxious in this video for newbies to his content.

Here’s the video without Boots commentary

Found the same clip on CTV

He already has, but he’ll be making more as long as he’s in the public eye.

Eating an apple while asserting dominance during the CBC interview, bahaha. What a chud.

Oh… You linked graphene os saying it has a 30 min tutorial how to root your device?

I tried magisk and patching the bootloader but doesn’t seem like anything happened after I used fastboot to load it on my device. When I figure it out I’ll do a write up because it shouldn’t be this difficult in 2025 I’d think, but maybe I’m just slow

Chuds gonna chud, not much else to say unfortunately

Does Graphene OS have root by default? I’m not seeing any documentation

All systems should hold those with power responsible if they abuse power. I’d suggest harshest punishment for politicians via referendum of the constituents. Don’t like that people could put you behind bars for life? Don’t step into the political arena! Grift in the private sector if you need to be your worst self, we shouldn’t have to keep tabs on all the rat fucks in Ottawa (Canada). If they do some shady shit, jail em or worse

Still rocking Ubuntu myself, might give mint a try as I’ve had issues with updates bricking Ubuntu.

Pierre’s record speaks for itself, no need to muddy waters

https://pierresrecord.ca/

• Received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians
• Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others’ (in front of his gay parent)
• Visited and courted far-right extremist groups
• Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
• Worked to bring American-style, anti-union laws to Canada
• Said he’d use the notwithstanding clause, overriding Canadians’ rights
• Committed to free votes, allowing his MPs to bring forward anti-abortion legislation

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don’t want to see him as PM. Spread far and wide if you agree.

Yea, that’s smarter. I didn’t know they had that as well, but in hindsight it makes sense

There’s a few issues with jerboa that I’d like addressed, maybe I’ll look into building it and issuing some PRs for it when I have more time. Can’t imagine it’s easy to maintain such a code base alone.

Few things off the top of my head are keyboard hides text with long comments, and sharing links for federated communities gives a link to the instance it was posted on and not the instance I’m on.

Also not being able to make communities in jerboa is a bit of a bummer, should also be easier to subscribe to communities on other instances too (web client).
