You almost always have nano or pico available, so it’s really unlikely that you’d get stuck with nothing but vim, unless you just didn’t know that nano existed.

This was 100% a marketing stunt to get their startup’s name in the news. And here we are. The unitree robot is designed to fold up for transport, and it comes in a shipping container.

Oh, my apologies for posting this on a public forum. This trick was not meant for you.

The Luddites didn’t hate machines. They were gifted artisans resisting a capitalist takeover of the production process that would irreparably harm their communities, weaken their collective bargaining power, and reduce skilled workers to replaceable drones as mechanized as the machines themselves. Their struggle has been tragically warped into a caricature when it is more relevant than ever.

IntelliJ doesn’t help when you’re doing a code review, or just reading through hundreds of lines of code, I don’t want to move my mouse or cursor over every line to see the parameter names.

Yeah, it’s wild they do actually have large “photophores” at the ends of their arms. More info here:

I didn’t mention Trump, but also https://youtu.be/zicGxU5MfwE?t=35

Yup, I know. Just saying he did a 180 as soon as the tariffs hit, and that anti-Trump sentiment is a big part of what got him the mandate in the snap election.

I agree, except Doug famously hates Trump. He loves republicans, and the US, but he’s had multiple public fights with Trump since the tariff war started.

Fair point. I guess I’m just surprised he didn’t go full anti-mask, anti-vax, inject bleach, horse de-wormer conservative.

Despite Ontario being home to multiple metropolitan cities, those cities are surrounded by many suburbs, rural towns and farmland, and that comprises a large part of the conservative base that Dougie relies on. Of course there is also a good amount of support from conservative business owners, corporate types, and the wealthy within the cities as well.

Dougie also captured a mandate in a Feb 2025 snap election on the back of the tariffs and political turmoil caused by The Orange One to the South. He stood up against Trump, famously popularizing a “Canada is not for sale” hat after the first annexation threats. And, to be a little fair, he did a surprisingly decent job handling Covid, so he has some clout from that too.

That said, he was already doing corrupt shit well before 2025, but now he’s pushing the envelope even further because he won’t face an election for a while (I guess, not sure what the options are there).

Maybe moderate conservatives are paying attention and souring to him now, but the country has also shifted right, again due to the Overton window moving in the US, but also because of Poilievre shifting the federal conservatives far right, making Dougie look half sane. Oddly we are now in a situation where the Liberal party might attract more conservative voters because Carney too is conservative-lite.

So in summary, the NDP has a lot of work to do, and they’re in a terrible position to do it. Jebus help us.

I agree. I’m posting this so people can keep an eye on him. It’s more about what he’s not doing.

Listen, I’m glad you’re not 100% anti gun-control. But you have to understand that when we’re talking about the deaths of children, it really doesn’t make sense to make an impassioned plea for your guns. You’ve got your priorities upside down. When you see children die, stop and think, your priority should be to support anyone and anything that will prevent this from happening again.

So you honestly think that people who actually care about stricter gun control want ineffective policies? You’ll have to find someone else to fall for your strawman argument.

Shouting “Will someone please think of the hobbies!” as children die is quite the move.
