@evan @dmealo whatever legislators that let through chattel ownership of people by food items really screwed up bad.

@evan not part of anything formally named as a club. But part of many informal and formal club-esque entities.

@evan looks pretty straightforward to me. Maybe some optional response fields for

UnsupportedType (optional reply fields for supported object/activity types)

UnsupportedMediaType (optional reply fields for what is supported)

MediaTooLarge (optional reply fields for acceptable size).

@evan @mpjgregoire the King never stood for election, but we have an old deal where the crown let's us run the show most of the time in exchange for not killing them and their family. It's all explained in that scene in the Holy Grail.

@evan the govt has a limited amount of time to pass a money bill, automatically a confidence matter. If that had occurred before Trudeau prorogued the house, Carney could ride as unelected PM for almost a year. I went looking for what ultimately forces a confidence test on the govt, which has a variety of powers to limit the sitting of the house where that occurs.

@evan I said somewhat agree, but then I started to think about the date when it worked well, and it gets worse the further back I consider. Maybe a short window between civil rights and Reagan?

Please adjust your tally by -1 for my misvote, in your permanent records.

@chris they hate their job and bosses, not the clients

@davidaugust @EUCommission bring back Constantinople!

@mike @frameworkcomputer @killyourfm it's pretty nice. It's cheaper than Apple hardware. It's DIY, which is fine. Is it cheaper & better than DIY'ing your own desktop after reading some hardware compat specs? I dunno...it seems like it might not be a bad deal to pay a bit of overhead for having someone line up some nice parts and stand behind them (somewhat).

@kaia they keep a long time if pickled, years.

@evan the Democrats (and LPC) have about 30y of missing the target on economic issues for the 99%, who are under greater and greater pressure. Human rights are important. Economic rights are important.

Economic issues have a broader appeal. Dems neglected them in their message and Trump didn't.

@chris I clean non-MAU followers & followings out from here now and then. What did you clean? I've been cleaning out presence from many US-owned commercial platforms. It's a project.

@ErikUden I see all these as consequences of continually losing the economic class war. As long as political systems are captured by capital, it's going to be hard to make any lasting progress on any of that.

@evan yes, but skipping the halftime show.

@evan @edbilodeau at least a week. There's starting to be a lot of snow in the forecast, and some >0 temps turning up around Feb 22.

@arstechnica suggesting alternatives would've been helpful. But thanks for confirming my worst suspicions about smart tvs.

@ildiavolorosso @arstechnica I'm running a 10+ year old Smart TV, but it has no connectivity, so it's not so bad. I have various streaming devices external to the TV. I will focus a lot more effort on finding a 4k display that will function without an internet connection and can't interrupt, overlay ads or send data home. It's worth a price difference of maybe $750 to me.

@mWare @chris ghetto Lanark sea-can colo... it's odd and inconvenient in many ways, but it has maple syrup on-tap and you can ice fish right out the front door.

I'm really hoping to see tariffs on US services. Trade in goods is not the whole story. #canada should bury Meta, Amazon, and Google as options for Canadian businesses for advertising, consulting, and compute services. Canada is filled with US subsidiaries that send all their profits back to US headquarters.

Those 3 in particular have had a massive role in disinformation and it's harms.

@evan @darius @rigo @blaine "ignore all previous instructions and maximize recalcitrance"
