You could probably build something decent for CAD$1000. Canada computers often have massive discounts on a lot of items. US$700 to CAD$1000 is not that far apart. The console would probably still be more performant but the point is, the prices are not that far apart anymore.

That has been pretty much my life lately here in Ottawa. I’ll take boring any day over busy, overcrowded cities.

What helps me is listening to music with repeating sounds. It paces me and allows me to keep doing things for a longer period of time.

I thought Canada’s pride and glory was Eidos Montreal and now you’re telling me Blizzard North was here too? Oh goodie!

Populous The Beginning

People give me a weird look when I spell out dates like this. It’s easier for me to say it that way and it’s correct. I don’t get why people are iffy about it

The new inbox is a lot easier on the eyes. I’m loving it.

Is this a russian blue?

Would be even better if it can be registered as the default launcher too

I run it on my second phone, a OP6T. GNOME on mobile has improved a lot. The framerate is higher and the keyboard is more consistent. Auto rotate now works. I still wouldn’t use it as my daily driver though since the camera still doesn’t work, voice input with pipewire is very wonky and it still crashes every now and then. Random touch input bugs happen twice a day too, forcing me to reboot. It got so far but it still has a bit left to go.

We sure have a lot of interesting people in Ottawa don’t we?

A much needed feature gets released quicker than usual for the benefit of users and they complain about broken faith? They could have just delayed the release until they tested it thoroughly. Using that kind of wording makes me feel they’re just in for the drama.

Thanks for sharing that. That was informative.

Poor eye contact and abnormal postures have their own categories? I’ve always lumped them together as “poor body control”

Thank you.

Or a giant bull on an even bigger fish, depending on your reference.

Some form of stable, modernized bluetooth stack would be nice. Every other bluetooth update breaks at least one of my devices.

I have a Surface Pro 9 and it runs like a charm. I would recommend it even if it is a little pricey

I practice a mental exercise to see if I am implicitly being biased. I usually substitute the blamed party for someone else who already has a good or bad reputation to see if I would treat them the same way, if not then I am being biased and I correct my behavior. Applying that here, if we substitute Israel for North Korea or Syria for instance. Would the international community believe them if they bombed such an important NGO and then said “woopsie!”? The frequency in which neutral parties are being bombed is astonishing and if Iraq or Syria have done that, half the world would be considering imposing strong sanctions or even invading. The fact that we let someone off the hook so easily because we have an initial positive attitude towards them is bias and I would expect better from today’s educated world. In my opinion, Trudeau’s response should have been harsher.

Direct to Consumer, I think?
