Not thinking is an essential skill for surviving in the technofascist world they’re building for us.

Yes you almost certainly can. It’s less painful than you might imagine. I used Gmail since it was launched, and now that account is unused except for a couple of mailing lists I don’t care about. It just takes a bit of time, but you can do it bit by bit.

There is a little bit of video in there of the car going quite fast, but the guy seems to mostly be filming the seat and the floor, so you only glimpse movement out of the window for a moment or two.

The Liberals are determined to turn Canada into a surveillance state and share data with other “eyes” countries including the USA. This government is not looking to protect Canadians. And they haven’t taken the objections on board, as evidenced by their statements that they need to “define” encryption, and that “the new amendments will aim to align the bill’s encryption provisions with US counterparts.” How can you look at all the history of the USA spying on its own citizens and think “Yep, Canada should copy that”? Not a government that’s serving Canadians.

Thanks for that info! That Unix word processor port looks nice. I’ll have to try it. Usually on modern Linux and Windows I just use Obsidian, with a greyish theme that’s easy on the eyes. But I like the idea of a terminal-based word processor where I wouldn’t even have to start a GUI.

Mine (Liberal) sent a form letter that stated strong support for it and claimed (falsely) that this just brings Canada into line with what its allies have already done.

Rent-seeking has entirely replaced innovation in modern capitalism.

Thats cool. For now my low-effort version of this is a 25-year-old ELO fanless all-in-one computer running Microsoft Word for DOS and WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS, on Windows XP. There’s no network and I use a USB stick to transfer files. The main worry is that the ancient hard drive will crap out, so I keep a second identical computer with the same software running on Windows 2000 as a backup. WordPerfect seems more stable than Word. I tried using Linux but these are very feeble computers and struggle to run even the lightweight distros.

WiFi jamming underpants.

In that case, carry on.

“These graduates are actually both going to be a big part of driving that progress and also dealing with the impact,” he added, referring to AI.

Out of context it sounds like a threat, but in connect it just sounds like vacuous CEO-speak, designed to respond to the question with some words while not actually answering the question.

Why is it a win, and for whom?

Possibly both. Signal will want to protect themselves legally.

Only a day or two left to write to your MP and object to it.

I’m glad they’re keeping their cameras safe, but I do worry that a handheld laser could still reach a camera on a tall pole, though the operator might have to stand far enough away that they couldn’t be recognized. I hope no one would try to damage a valuable camera like that.

A lot of people chose Bitwarden because it was open-source, so they don’t see the very closed Apple Passwords as a suitable alternative.

Or it’s something you earn through transparency.

Don’t forget all the water and electricity that will be taken away from the people.

It also fosters a culture of non-cooperation with colleagues (because they are now your competition), where workers and teams try to sabotage each other, or at least not help, and throw each other under the bus. So there’s mutual mistrust too. And no one wants to take a risk and innovate, leading to further stagnation.
