Translation: Instead of restricting energy and daring to piss off oil and gas and actually be effective they’re going to apply retaliatory tariffs that hurt Canadians 👍🏻
They handed in their homework from 2016 and called it a day. Expect your grocery and small item bills to skyrocket.

This everything-as-a-service craze is a cancer that must be eradicated.
And I want the PMs that only worship the cult of yearly recurring revenue out of my industry for good.
If I buy a product, and that product cost me a lot as well, I want to be able to use that product however I like, for its intended lifetime, without having to pay for an extra subscription.
I honestly don’t give a single fuck about how you are supposed to make money after my purchase - you already made money THROUGH my purchase. If it’s not enough then I’d rather be charged $50 more for my purchase than paying $5/month forever.

My memorial to David Lynch will be to hopefully introduce some folks to INTERVIEW PROJECT.
In 2009, Lynch crossed the US and back (20,000 miles), interviewing Americans intimately familiar to me, but invisible to most of the world. The underdogs, the down-and-out, those who don't fit in, mostly. A lot of broken dreams. Ain't that America.
There are 122 films, directed by Lynch, portraits under 5:00. All are available on Lynch's YouTube channel, re-released for the project's 15th Anniversary last Fall.
Here's the trailer, with a selection of interview films to follow in a thread.
For Mat @TwoClownsEating. ❤️

Still not coming to FOSDEM this year because of their extremely disappointing sanitary policy. Catching flu or covid at a conference shouldn't be considered normal. https://fosdem.org/2025/practical/covid/
#OtD 17 Jan 1893 a coup d'état took place in Hawaii, organised by United States. A republic was briefly declared, and the island was annexed by the US five years later: the first of many overseas imperialist conquests by the nation https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8879/us-organised-coup-in-hawaii
Cory Doctorow does my head in at the best of times but this is really something else.

I mean, Jack Dorsey speaking about "Infusing Open Source Culture into Company DNA" when not a single soul has ever heard of him in relation to Open Source before this talk title would have worked as a joke to me.
Ironically, #GM vehicles are now the most privacy-preserving models you can buy for the next five years.
