From the Government point of view, it made more sense to let go a potential of 7B$ in revenue to save some Canadian jobs. It’s less damaging to do that and lose some numbers in a spreadsheet than seeing jobs in steel, automobile and other sectors lost, which require more work to bring back.

Also, these kinds of tax are normally reflected in higher price to the consumer, which doesn’t help when there’s no viable Canadian alternatives to turn towards to. What is Google, Netflix, etc going to do if they get taxed a part of their Canadian income? They’ll increase the subscription cost to make up for it.

Not saying that I agree with the reason, and I’m not happy we lost that, but there’s a bigger picture.

They shouldn’t have any issue extraditing the ICE agents responsible for this without due process, right?

At least GOG is getting into mod management too.

It’s just improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

Thank you for your hard work :)

Having people shooting themselves up in public bathrooms doesn’t negate the sanitary benefits of having public bathrooms. It’s just an excuse for having poor public services.

So Liberals builds and Conservatives don’t.

Or Kinder Surprise eggs.

I had to check, lmao you’re right

That’s not the owner of the Panthers according to Wikipedia, but absolutely disgusting nonetheless.

Archive it all.

That’s the point of digitally signing the app, to ensure its authenticity and integrity. TM and others wouldn’t be able to resign the modified app with the Signal Foundation signature.

EDIT: Yeah after thinking more about it it’s not a trivial problem, as you need to assume that the endpoint is inherently untrusted.

At the moment you can’t. The only realistic way I could see that happening is the the server would check the app digital signature and refuse the app from communicating with the official infrastructure if it didn’t match.

The money donated to Fedecan is exclusively used to fund the non-profit organization, and the instances it directly manages (lemmy.ca, pixelfed.ca). There is no plan to transfer a portion of the donations to the Lemmy devs, as we prefer to keep the accounting as simple as possible and makes it obvious what you’re financing.

I still use vous when speaking to strangers in general, and it’s mandatory to use vous when speaking in french to a superior in the Canadian Forces.

No wonder why the PCC wants to defund CBC.

An electoral reform wouldn’t hurt.
