Italian company that likes to buy up mediocre performing tech companies. They also own Vimeo, Meetup, Evernote, WeTransfer, Brightcove, etc.

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.

I'm Canadian and pretty much every American I've met that came up here has been nice. Loud, but nice. but seriously, you guys are really loud.

The layoffs also hit Twitch which has had a notorious bot problem for years. So now they're going to use bots to fight bots?

Honestly the best thing Amazon could do is just shut down twitch completely. It's become a dumpster fire of its former self. It used to be about people playing games and now it's about which streamer is sexually assaulting which other streamer and dudes putting shock collars on dogs.

not only was it just a clip show, it was a clip show that was the SEASON FINALE.

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.
