To skirt Canadian employment laws, a previous employer gave me unrealistic targets and even when I acheived them she would say I'm underperforming. This exists in every country. Employers will always find a way to make it look like the employee quit of their own volition.

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.

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

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.

Konami published a lot of games that had potential but they didn't really take them anywhere.

I pass this thing almost every week. It's not that creepy in real life.

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.

This reminds me of someone else who didnt get to pursue a career in arts and instead tried to destroy the world.

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

The lead developer, Ikey, has created two distributions before and a desktop environment. He gets far in a rather short amount of time and catches a lot of attention then loses interest and vanishes. While he is a very skilled developer, I wouldn't personally want to be invested in anything he creates out of fear that the pattern repeats.

Yes but do you use PiHole and a solid VPN? Do you spoof your browser's useragent? Even then, some would argue that you are not safe enough from Google's prying eyes.

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

Path of Exile doesnt support Linux either and they are both rated gold on Protondb

She has a happy and proud look on her face. Good for her!

The question is, would Canada want that? I get the feeling that most of us living north of the border just want to be left alone and we would send you all the thoughts and prayers we could spare and wish you all the best so long as you let us be.

As a gay person who lives with autism, I am doubly offended

I've been subject to the same treatment by a white person in Canada. Three out of my 5 colleagues were from India because apparently they were the only ones that could take it. They didn't fire me they made my life hell until I quit because of my mental health crisis. They made me sign bad performance reviews, the manager and her assistant shouted and screamed at me and made me work on holidays and kept accusing me of things that are not true until I quit. They did this to other people as well and no one had any grounds to sue them because they knew how to play the game. It's not just Indians that do this in Canada. Some Canadians do it too. This happen in the national capital region no less.

I heard this for years while the show was running. I refused to watch the show as well. I decided to start watching it recently.

It turns out that what people were referring to when they likened me to Sheldon was my autistic traits. Sheldon incorporates a lot of specific autistic traits in his character and I am autistic. The funny thing is, one of the people that was constantly comparing me to Sheldon was a good friend of mine who was also autistic but I guess she is somewhere else on the spectrum which is why it was easier for her to associate me with Sheldon than herself.

I guess my point is to tell you that sometimes people make uneducated guesses and comparisons that may end up seeming funny when you realize why they made them. Watch the show. Laugh at them for comparing you to an exaggerated TV persona because you were different from what they expect the average person to be.

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.
