If you truly believe a comment is breaking the rules (e.g. off topic), then report it. Let the mods decide.

And the mods include ... oh look, you! Yes, I'm sure a report will be taken seriously...

But given the fact that you’re seeing my content, means it’s not being downvoted but upvoted, meaning people actually value my content.

Just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's following the rules. Just look south of the boarder.

Again, I have no problem with you focusing on your advocacy, it's just when you bring it to unrelated discussions.

I like your content, and I appreciate what you bring to your communities. What I don't appreciate is how you force your pet project into every discussion. If you weren't so involved and connected, I would report your comment for being off topic, but I know that's pointless.

I'm not sure what you're trying to point out, but maybe I'm missing something? I'm also confused since he's Canadian.

Actually, they do. I'd love to see some laws restricting foreign ownership of media, but as it stands, they do have the right.

What you're proposing is restricting free speech, and I'm not okay with that! Making media be more open about their ownership, funding, etc. is worthwhile, but as long as they're not trafficking in hate speech or other illegal activities, they should be allowed to share their views no matter how much you or I disagree with them.

Nothing in this article is talking about cold storage. And if we are talking about cold storage, as others gave pointed out, HHDs are also not a great solution. LTO (magnetic tape) is the industry standard for a good reason!

Anyone who has said that doesn't know what they're talking about. Magnetic tape is unparalleled for long-term/archival storage.

This is completely different. For active storage, solid-state has been much better than spinning rust for a long time, it's just been drastically more expensive. What's being argued here is that it's not performant and while it might be more expensive initially, it's less expensive to run and maintain.

Wasn't uefi a must already for windows 10 computers?

Nope, I've been running Win10 on multiple computers with a BIOS.

Atleast for win 11 it is.

AFAIK, UEFI isn't technically a requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is, and that requires UEFI.

Mauril seems pretty good for English or French and is published by the CBC.

Well, you're the one who brought up the charter, so I hoped you would have an idea of specifically how the current standard is violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. IANAL, but as I see it:

What I do know is that I have a right to express my beliefs through my patronage

Sure, no arguments here. Section 2(b): 2 Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

and I’m currently being inhibited in that effort by the intentional obfuscation of the information I need.

This is the problem. I'm not sure there's any reason, in the charter or in other law, that a private business has to publicly disclose the origin of their raw materials. Yes, at certain stages they have to disclose to the government, potentially for health & safety, imports/tariffs, etc. And I do believe that labeling requires a manufacturer/distributor to be listed so there is a corporation who can be held responsible for the final product. However, where a company sources their ingredients could almost certainly be considered a trade secret, and outside of new legislation, I can't see manufacturers being forced to disclose this.

issuing a charter challenge.

What article would the current standard be violating?
