The same Carney that wants to pass a bill so the police can demand your ID willy nilly? the same Carney that in another bill wants to install backdoors to various Canadian networks for "surveillance" purposes? The same Carney that in ANOTHER bill wants to block refugee hearings and "stay the course" on Canadas current illegal drug policy which clearly isn't working.
That Carney?
there's a reason these scammers target the elderly.
I recently slapped linux on an old (10 years or so) chromebook and you're right. It's a....process to say the least.
what's it good for? not much. It flips around so you can use it as a tablet/touch screen but my god was that like almost a days worth of tinkering to get working correctly. if you flipped the screen over to make it a tablet the screen wouldn't rotate correctly. lots of adjustments just to get it to work. Also you have to keep in mind the storage you have available. mine has all of 16gigs.
So what's it good for? a glorified terminal station that can SSH into my server. I initially went with XFCE but after awhile I figured even THAT was overkill as all I was really using or could use was the terminal. So I slapped Cagebreak on it (honeslty could have just gone with Cage) and use it as a simple termnial station and a glorified jellyfin client via jftui.
Was it worth it? no, but it was more of a hobby project and nothing that I would ever consider as a daily driver at all. It's just an old POS chrome book I can use while laying in bed to watch a movie or tv show from my server and mess around in the terminal.
basically Carney took a look south and said "you know what? some of these ideas...they're not too bad"
Meanwhile PP is flipping his lid saying "fucker stole my ideas!"
because all the political parties and politicians here in Canada don't actually care about the people. Unlike other places where their politicians pretend to care, here in Canada they will straight up tell you they don't care. Here it's all about how we can make as much money as possible while pleasing our corporate benefactors and they will straight up tell you that's exactly what they're doing. They don't hide it because they don't need to hide it.
I mean hell just look at the whole return to office, bike lane, and rental shit here in Ontario. they didn't sugar coat any of that and straight up said "businesses in Ontario and specifically in Toronto want you back in the office, they don't want bike lanes, and they want to make more money from rentals so that's what we're going to do. here are studies on all of the above which were provided to us by said businesses."
as everyone else has said soulseek and nicotine+.
If you want to get your spotify playlists from soulseek use this script: https://github.com/fiso64/slsk-batchdl
basically you export your spotify playlists as a csv and slsk-batchdl will take that and try to find everything on soulseek and download it for you. anything it can't find it'll let you know. it might take awhile, if you have a server I'd run it on that via screen and just let it run overnight (that's what I did)
Keep in mind that Soulseek has A LOT of audiophiles on it so you'll find a lot of high quality audio and FLACs. if FLAC is too big for you and you're fine with mp3s you c an use Nicotine+ to just search for mp3s.
Not with any of the current models, none of them are concerned with security or scaling.
also in most cases it's simply the default.
Look if you've spent any time whatsoever interacting with clients, customers, whatever when it comes to development work for literally whatever be it software or web or mobile applications at the end of the day they all want the same thing. They want it to just work. Right out of the box, to simply work. The majority of people DO NOT want to customize their PC or online experience, they don't want to tinker, hell these days they don't even want to download an exe off a site - if it's not in some kind of app store, it ain't getting installed. They all want a thing to just work.
Windows, like it or not, provides that. They don't want to use Linux, they don't want to potentially have to open a terminal and type out some simple commands. Most of these people have never even opened a cmd prompt or powershell in windows in like....ever. A good chunk of people using windows don't even know terminals exist.
I use linux, I use different distros, and I don't blame anyone who refuses to make the transition even though they aren't exactly enjoying their windows experience. They deal with it. Let them complain. A lot of people simply don't have the time or even the interest to learn a new piece of tech and again I don't blame them.
Can Linux also "just work"? sure, it can potentially but lets not kid ourselves here and lets REALLY be honest with each other. It's not going to "just work" like Windows, for the vast majority of people, does.
I installed arch to a VM yesterday for some stuff and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get Paru or Yay going and well...there ya have it. spent like an hour trying to figure out why they both weren't working.
/r/Toronto enters the room: "I don't know, but we should probably kill them."
it's so idiotic. They firmly believe that places are sitting vacant because Landlords "fear" evergreen leases. No. Places are sitting vacant because people refuse to pay $2500+ a month for a shoebox. They don't get it. you lower prices and gasp people start paying. But all they can get through their thick as fuck skulls is a JG Wentworth commerical "I need cash now" they can't think of the long term. Would you rather a consistent and steady income on your rental property over years with a tenant that has happy to pay decent rent? or would you rather potentially make more for a single year and then sit on a vacant unit because no one wants to pay your prices. And these morons pick "you're saying I'll have a lot of money for one year?"
