Would've considered changing doctors if he didn't. 😂

No it doesn't. It only does if those are the majority of the Democratic party. And they're not. I don't think many are finding this meme to mean there aren't Democrats that toil against the majority of the party. I find the constant purity testing of memes and critique of the Democratic party serves much more to shield the part that shouldn't be shielded from critique. Oh no, this critique isn't 99% accurate! Yes. It's 80% accurate.

Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don't think he's gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn't look much into.

At this point all the arguments about what nefarious could they possibly do with the data are busted. They answer is - our imagination and access to information is not rich enough to figure out today and it's probably worse than what we can think of.

Faraday cage or bust.

“I try to explain to manufacturers in third countries that these components — especially a list of 50 joint priority categories we prepared closely with Ukrainians — may seem harmless. These include optical readers, integrated circuits, microchips, flash memory cards, which are found in our phones and computers. But when they get to Russia, it becomes weapons of war,” O’Sullivan detailed.

Yeah, good luck with blocking those items. They're used in way more than weapons. Probably even in medical equipment and such. Not to mention how many manufacturers there are and how many distributors there are. This isn't the late-stage capitalist consolidated landscape of the EU or NA where very few firms are responsible for all these widgets. And that's before you even broach the substantiated unwillingness of Global South countries to go against a country they have had a more reliable relationship with, devoid of colonialism, classic or neoliberal. All the while they see that the Europeans and Americans have fucked Ukraine by being an unreliable partner, from leaky financial sanctions, through chronically insufficient weapons supply, to taking huge parts of their resources in exchange.

Oh compared to other fast food joints for sure.

No idea, but if their competition is Starbucks, Starbucks isn't competing on coffee quality. 😂

Would they pay better than Starbucks? How hostile would they be to unions?

Of course not but it's important context for people who don't know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.

 

Apparently we have these along the Great Lakes (but not exclusively) already according to reports on etick.ca. Here's a pic:

Since not everyone reports tick bites, the numbers are probably a lot higher than what's on etick.ca.

It's nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.

That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

CUPW, which represents about 55,000 mail workers, has pushed back on the idea of a membership vote on the latest offer. The union accused the employer of being "not serious about meaningful arbitration" in a bulletin sent to members Tuesday.

Is a vote a bad thing?

 

Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growth

Pennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).

“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”

Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

 

Hey gang, I'm considering using DNS4EU in Canada. My ping to their servers is ~130ms. That's way longer than anything local which is on the order of 1-5ms. Apart from resolving uncached entries taking longer, is there any contraindication to using a DNS server with high latency?
