“Science hasn’t refined its methodologies and controls against biases since the 1790s.”

That’s you.

It would have if he had gotten real treatment instead of just eating fruit. He literally had the only type of pancreatic cancer that we could treat at the time.

And that’s totally fine. I didn’t say you’re not good. Perfect writing isn’t necessary, I’m just giving my opinion since you did ask in the post whether you had bad writing.

At the end of the day, a lot of OCR models were mostly trained on typeset text, so it makes sense that a general purpose model wouldn’t be very good at recognizing handwriting that looks non-standard, so to speak.

That’s what my parents told me when I said I was likely to kill myself without hormones. Needless to say, I got hormones and I am still here, but I will never get back the time I lost and I will never have the childhood socialization that I missed. I will never see my parents the same.

It haunts me a lot that I couldn’t have started at 15 because my parents wanted me to be “normal” and for them to not have hard conversations. This is also the reason they didn’t want me on anti-depressants even though I was massively depressed.

All this to say that maybe you should listen to doctors and trans people about why these things are necessary. Puberty blockers aren’t even permanent.

I mean no offense at all, but your handwriting is not good. It’s somewhat legible but that’s the highest opinion I have of it. That said, maybe the dot paper is interfering with the scan?

The Shopify CEO that’s hated by a ton of people due to COVID layoffs and shuttering the Waterloo office? And the Financial Post, the magazine for rich people who still suck Elon’s cock? Not very representative of “most Canadian businesses,” IMO.

I have everything containerized (Podman) on my Debian PC and use Diun to check for updates and send notifications to a Discord server that I monitor. I do all of my updates manually so I don’t update unless I have time to troubleshoot; if it breaks I still have the configs and data so I can delete the container and start over.

I also do monthly backups to cold storage (yeah, they should be weekly/biweekly but it’s just personal data that I’m okay with losing). I don’t use a RAID config or BTFS/ZFS like some do, so it’s pretty easy to just set it and forget it. It really depends on what you’re trying to do, how bulletproof it needs to be, and how you like to organize things.

Ooooh, do Ontario next! (Yes, I know who is in power… A man can dream.)

I’m willing to bet that the average Apex player is not a big enough nerd to even install Mint, the friendliest of distros, to cheat in the game. Linux accounts for what, ~2.5% of Steam users total? Come on.

Unfortunately, due to the FPTP system, forming a coalition between the Liberals and the NDP is just not feasible because the Liberals don’t want to cooperate unless they absolutely have to, which is rare because they are de facto in power about 50% of the time (usually a majority government, so there’s no reason to cooperate).

The remaining “third party” options are either a) ideologically dissimilar to the NDP and would be unlikely to form a coalition with them, or b) have such a low chance of forming government that a coalition with them would not be politically advantageous.

For example, forming a coalition with the Greens or Bloc Quebecois would likely lead to a lot of concessions on the environment and on Francophone language rights that are simply not popular with NDP leadership, who are overwhelmingly swinging centrist (who knows why, really, it’s extremely weird to see them campaign on worker protections one day while advocating for corporations the next).

The closest they’ve gotten to a coalition recently is a “supply and confidence agreement” with the minority Liberal government, which turned out to be pretty toothless and ended when the Liberals just… didn’t really do anything the NDP wanted, lol.

While I don’t disagree, the ONDP and the federal NDP are a lot closer in ideology IMO than, say, the BCNDP and the federal NDP.

Since I live in Ontario and there’s an election coming up provincially as well as federally, their constant failures are at the forefront of my mind and I think the provincial strategy is relevant to mention here since it ultimately shares a lot in common with the federal one. The federal NDP has been shockingly silent on Palestine for many years, well predating the most recent stage of the conflict.

All of this is just my opinion, though. If you want to keep them separate that’s your business.

Did they check if they have a state capitol? They probably don’t need to if their country doesn’t have states.

We have one. Actually, we have more than one if you want to get technical. What we need is a viable third party that knows what they’re doing and won’t capitulate at the first sign of inconvenience while continuing to lie to constituents about their real goals and the current political situation. Also, the so-called progressive NDP needs to stop kicking people out for taking a stance against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians (yes, that happened; look up Sarah Jama’s unceremonious ousting, among others).

Nothing will change without electoral reform that does away with first-past-the-post (FPTP). I personally like single transferable vote (STV) or mixed member proportional (MMPR) voting systems, but even a ranked ballot would be better than what we have now.

At least a few years. I switched to Linux a year ago and that was a huge consideration for me when choosing Debian over Ubuntu.

Notice how I didn’t say murder, I said killed. That can easily happen in detention facilities due to neglect and lack of medical care, especially as it gets crammed full of too many people. I’m not saying there’s no possibility that there will be murders, but I definitively did not say murder in my last comment because no, it is not my belief that Trump is planning to exterminate migrants at this current point in time. The labour and torture is probably imminent though, Guantanamo is pretty famous for it.

Apparently, it runs perfectly. Great news.

The unwritten implication is that they will be used for slave labour, tortured, and/or killed. It really depends on how fascist and violent Trump wants it to get. Guantanamo Bay is not outfitted for mass detention, so you connect the dots.

It may not have initially been chosen for its meaning, but on their website they do say this:

What Does “Kagi” Mean? The word “kagi” means “key” in Japanese.

You pronounce kagi in Japanese as ka-gi with a hard G. (Source: Wiktionary)
