Lol. Let’s ban accountability, refactoring, and debugging, never work alone, never coordinate, avoid productivity, and refuse ownership—then scream when things break, don’t integrate, and fall behind schedule.

"This is all your fault!" built-in. Why didn't you intuitively know what myX is supposed to do and how it's used?

Provocation just for "engagement" really. 102 comments so, to some degree, it works.

E: Guys, it's satire. Lol.

Nearly 20 years ago, I was in a computer programming class surrounded by clunky towers and desktops.

Suddenly, a loud popping, then one of the machines starts belching smoke like a budget fog machine. The kid using it is calmly moved to another station while the prof investigates.

Fifteen minutes later - pop. Smoke again.

Turns out the kid was jamming a paperclip into the power supply like he was playing Operation: Arson Edition.

That was his last day.

On the bright side, computers are a lot cheaper now - and kids are still dumb. So, maybe progress?

Alternative headline: Musk pretends to be critical of policies he's endorsed and supportive of countries he actively interferes in the elections of

Can barely comment on this stuff anymore because of the literal horror being inflicted

The article is a Trump hallucination.

He’s not wrong that leaders flatter him; but it’s not respect, it’s geopolitical strategy. They’re managing chaos, hedging with China and others, and responding to a weaker US position largely created by Trump himself. This isn’t strength; it’s a soft power collapse that’s opening dangerous doors, mainly for Americans most of all, but likely for everyone else too.

What Trump sees as deference is actually diplomatic triage. World leaders aren’t engaging him because they admire him; leaders are trying to keep the global order from unraveling faster than it already is. The cost of alienating the U.S. is high, but increasingly, so is relying on it. That shift is the real story, and it’s one that leaves America more isolated with each bluster.

As the article points out, this is a sanctionable offense in Canada (that the AHJ generally aggressively pursue). He certainly will be given notice, and if he doesn't comply they just start ramping up fines aggressively until he does ($25k to $50k each, eventually into court orders and injunctions). These are legally enforceable.

It's even more aggressive in other provinces - the professions strictly regulate title usage. Most people voluntarily comply immediately.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Even just the headline is a ride; US literally driving everyone into China's arms.

Wish the article wasn't quite so barebones.

Good information.

Given we live in a FPTP country, this is a worthwhile thing to consider as well: https://smartvoting.ca/ridings/federal-2025

You can look up your riding to see vote projections; you ultimately vote the system you have.

End the war before even taking office. Kept moving the bar, then eventually just pivoted and pretended there was no bar.

And make it everyone else's fault somehow.

Essentially want to be the only option - buy a Tesla and fill both the trunk and frunk with gasoline or get wrecked.

Nevermind they're pumping and dumping the entire stock market now, turning all the safeguards off, and extracting wealth at a rate that makes Congress look like child's play.

It's kind of burying the lede to just remark PP is likened to "Trump light." He has likened himself by exclusively pulling from Trump's playbook, with the divisive rhetoric, outright untruths, dog-whistling, name calling, verb the noun slogans, and quite literally "Canada First" signs he still hangs in his speeches.

In Alberta he's repeatedly espoused support for Danielle Smith's insane policies, her personal hero and inspiration being the real "Trump light," Ron DeSantis. Nevermind they have openly acknowledged (before the craziness) they'd rather work with Poiliviere, and he's been heralded in the MAGA circles as Canada's Trump moment (with a complete absence of the irony).

If he put on 200 lbs and lost all natural skin color, he'd be a slightly more articulate Trump impersonation.

E: I noticed a couple mistakes. Lemme know if you spot others and I can edit (at time of this writing anyways)

The only objectionable thing said was "beginning to", so probably relatively safe from controversy

Good message.

In Alberta, we had one riding in the last election 8 votes apart. ~180 different votes in a handful of ridings would have changed the Premier.

Even if you're in a deeply red or blue riding, protesting your incumbent in safe areas is powerful messaging; if they can rest in the right colored jersey, that's all they'll do. When a 1:5 riding suddenly goes 2:3 or 1:2, they start at least trying to demonstrate what they're doing for you (sometimes theatrics, but it's a start).

All that said, it's still your vote - given the difference in how voters turn out, and abdication of your vote is generally a blue vote anyways, and that's a choice too.

Curious what material you used.

I made some similar items, and given the aggregation of exposure to the elements, constant daylight, and strength/the potential to shatter, I veered away from PLA and ABS into PETG (with TPU sleeves on sensitive bits), which I've found worked really well, but my parts don't move as much as yours probably do.

How have you found the results in these regards?

Absolutely love being able to quickly mock up fit for purpose parts and deploy them immediately; great work!

As you say, even with Internet connection, LLMs only infer. The software you run it on (or online) is a different story, and it's literally already the case with everything else for decades (although it is getting worse).

We weren't upset enough when Google started scraping everyone's emails, or how Meta/Amazon/Google/Microsoft/ByteDance track all your Internet activity right now via browser fingerprinting.

In the context of executive wages, it's important to contrast this to what the industry standard is. We're not reinventing capitalism overnight (nor is it the argument being litigated), and fair market incentives must be competitive to retain talent. It's not a matter of whether someone agrees fair market is right or not - it's the reality of how society currently functions (and I point out because this is almost always the fundamental principle to most of these arguments).

An aggregate $73k bonus is generally very small in executive talent pool - the article also goes on to point out the rest of the employee base also got $15k. Neither of these are particularly glaring.

Instead consider Catherine Tait (CBC) - her base salary is roughly $500k, with a target bonus of 7-28% (~$30k-$155k) and no additional incentives. That makes her max total compensations about $700k at best (and generally more like $600k). This is super low for a typical pay band at the CEO level.

Contrast this to Andrew MacLeod (PostMedia) - his base salary is $1.1M, with his incentives (bonus, rsu/PSU, stock, etc.) in the same 2024 year $785k, making his total compensation $1.89M, or triple Taits.

Looking around at a number of these, the CBC is pretty consistently on the low end of these ranges, especially when considering the size of the organization.

I'm essentially pointing out your comment argued the opposite of your stance.

E: Just saw the formatting - didn't realize ~ was a formatting flag.

This conversation opens up all over again the second our election is over. This hurts DeSantis Jr. here, with his Canada First signs and Trump magat style rhetoric, and they know it. The resistance to this entire stupid movement is a scale from shrug and blame Trudeau to some degree of active resistance.

The irony that the guy still has Canada First signs up, a direct nod to MAGA, as has been all of his playbook since the Free Dumb Convoy.
