Can you please learn how to use git or at least some source control software instead of creating a new (almost) empty repository every release? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

If you’re just going to include source code archives in the release instead of pushing them to the repo itself, you should at least disable the automatic source code archives. But you’d be better off not using a source control website at all if you’re not going to use source control.

Add it to the list of things WhatsApp stole from Signal

The Linux Association of Canada is entirely AI slop already, it’s sort of impossible to avoid it if you use that site anyway.

PP also (in)famously voted against gay marriage

No, it applies as long as the user is in the EU https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/

Whether Winnipeg Free Press is collecting personal data is a different question, but I’d take their geoblocking as either an admission or an indicator of (overly) paranoid lawyers.

On one side, I get it. It really sucks to have to comply with all foreign laws just because you’re hosting stuff on the Internet.

On the other hand, fucking lol what a way to say you proudly love to track your users and refuse to face any consequences for it.

Also, ironic for a company with “free” in their name to be so restrictive.

So basically

Our editor flew into the hornets nest and still couldn’t get away from the hornets

Lol what else would you expect. Taiwan is the semiconductor centre of the world, of course the latest tech fad is going to be there too.

The price would only crash if supply outstrips demand. The demand for lithium is pretty consistently increasing, and this deposit is currently providing no supply. If/when they start mining it, it’ll also not instantly dump the whole deposit into the market. So this won’t crash the value.

We do have the St Lawrence Seaway though…

There’s an old series of videos by Rick Mercer of Canada that does some similar cherry-picking of US residents responding to questions. They’re all done as a joke (Rick Mercer is a comedian) but they’re a surprising amount of accuracy to them. Mercer even interviews some US politicians in it and gets them to say some ridiculous things about Canada that show their lack of knowledge on foreign matters.

The US education is well-documented as an ineffective system but it’s not homogeneous across the country so I don’t think anyone would be correct to make any broadly-sweeping claims about how knowledgeable US residents are. Just know that some of them aren’t very bright and some of them are politicians.
