Linux becoming mainstream would be a trap too… It will lead to the enshitification of the distros as they get more and more watered down to satisfy the average dumbass using it.

Canada@lemmy.ca•[Survey] Canadian experience with vehicle headlights and glare at night
0·2 days agoI’m in Ontario. I remember reflective lines when I was a kid in the 90s but I haven’t seen them with the reflective property in decades. When it rains, the lines are gone.

0·3 days agoNext can we get surveys going to fix the lines on the road that disappear when it rains at night?

Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. cites Canada's cloud sovereignty push as a trade irritant
0·7 days agoThanks! Not sure if it’s the mobile layout that’s cooked, or maybe it’s paywalled or something? All I see are headlines.
Greer’s report notes the proposal calls for cloud services where data would be “processed, transmitted and stored exclusively in Canada.” It would exclude suppliers subject to laws letting foreign governments access Canada’s data without written consent. (Another requirement Greer did not mention: providers could not be “subject to foreign laws that permit foreign governments to request measures that could affect or discontinue the service.”)
Lmao, yeah that’s kind of the point - why would anybody want a foreign country snooping their shit? I suppose if there’s any benefit to breaking this wall it would be that it would (hopefully) force the Canadian government and businesses to ditch Microsoft. The fact we use them as much as we do is terrifying. A contract is only as trustworthy as the person you signed it with, and I have little faith that MS isn’t already snooping the massive amounts of foreign government data they have their hands on.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Most Canadians support social media ban for kids under 16: poll
0·9 days agoWhat even constitutes as “social media”? If a website has a comments section, is that now blocked? What about Wikis that have a “talk” tab for discussion? Message forums? What about social apps like Discord and IRC? Does YouTube count as social media?
We don’t need to ban social media, we need to start really pushing critical think and education.


Yes, and we all got by fine with things the way they have mostly been. The last thing we should be advocating for is this stupid trend of removing features and calling it “user friendliness”
Give the user the ability to torch their system - it’s up to them whether they want to use things they can’t handle or not. Not up to the devs to baby-proof the software and strip abilities away from capable users.
