‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre
I have hope that Finland will do something about it. Force google to plant trees, massive fine, plus so much more is a good place to start.

New Jersey fines data center $1.1M after drone pics expose 62 gas generators
I'll bet anything they budgeted for a fine and it was still cheaper than doing it the proper way. Whoever signed the paper to approve the install should be on the hook personally.

Trump threatens new tariffs on Canada, including 250% tax on dairy
Charge us whatever you want, nothing will change that I do not want to become the 51st state.
We'll make new friends who went to kindergarten and have learned how to make friends and share. You're quickly becoming background noise already.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warns remote workers: 'It's probably not going to work out for you'
Amazon employees who refused to relocate near main offices of their teams were told they either have to find a new job internally or leave the company through a “voluntary resignation.”
How dumb does he think people are? This just makes me angry because they're probably going to get away with it too.

ApostrophyOS: A new privacy and security focused mobile OS
Starting from the home screen, your main home page on Apostrophy OS is called the “Domus.” It’s a grayscale page with shortcuts for the Aphy Store (Apostrophy’s own app store), your calendar, contacts, Apostrophy’s VPN service, your files, email, and more. You can’t customize anything on this page, and everything you do here is run through Apostrophy’s servers for maximum security.
So far, not so good...

Apple tried to blame the EU for its Siri AI mess, and the EU called them out publicly
The last paragraph feel more like the authors opinion, which is a bit weird on an Android website.
I agree with the EU on this one though, I hate walled gardens and the EU is doing good work.

Donald Trump says 'nasty' Canada 'meant to be 51st state'
"I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada," Trump said.
I'll take that as a complement from you. Thanks!

Trump: ‘I’m really not trolling’ with talk of Canada as 51st state
We’re taking care of their military. We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don’t need them to make cars for us,” Trump told Time. “In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.
Then stop importing and we'll see how long before it's a problem for the people.

But the pedo is the one who will bomb them, and its clear he doesn't give a fuck.
These people have balls. I wouldn't be there. I think it'll give him more reason to bomb them. Fuck this sucks.

It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

I never really understood the "I have nothing to hide" mindset. I've always been for privacy. I self host everything I use, and when I don't (e-mail) I PAY someone to do it for me. No Google services in my life, no apple, etc, etc.
However, more and more I'm wondering if what I'm doing is worth it. Really, the people who "have nothing to hide" seem fine, nothing bad has happened, and it seems far more likely my information was leaked from a hack (credit carma I'm looking at you). Credit cards know where I am, what I buy.... Its endless. Plus now I have stress about my self hosted services going down.
So these guys who share their location and just live in blissful ignorance, are they on to something? I think life would be 'easier' for me on their side...

I think "stomping down" is the wrong phrase to use. Regardless, I have a couple in my family... Asking them "how do I change your mind" or "what would need to happen for you to even consider the other side" has shown me some people can't be helped.
I wanted to vote NDP but I felt I had to vote Liberal to negate their PP vote. My riding is liberal this time and I'm super happy.

Trump says he is not considering running for third term
I was under the impression that he said Americans would never have to vote again. Does that mean there is no 3rd term, just a really long second?

What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?
The one and only time I was put under I said "you know what you're doing, eh?" And he just put me out. I didn't mean to say that, I was just nervous. I did see a nurse laugh though so that's nice.

Nice, Brother was the last one standing in my mind.
I'm glad I have an IoT vlan without internet access. Nothing is allowed to phone home here.

Why is the IPTV scene such a toxic shit hole?
I don't think I'll ever sub to IPTV because of the community around it. I miss the days of setting up your own satellite dish and downloading the decryption keys.

Working full time - how do you do it?
Reply in thread
This is how it worked for me. Followed by just fucking get up. Tired? Slept like shit? Don't want to go? Just fucking get up and go, I don't want to be late or lose my job, I'll be homeless. I don't recommend this attitude as you'll burn yourself out but it's how I get up.
My problem is everything else. Where do you find time to tidy the house, clean, do laundry, shower, brush your teeth, now the lawn, etc, etc and then have energy for hobbies?

Has anyone pirated their internet?
Back in the WEP/WPS days it was easy enough to use aircrack-ng and get access to a network. Anything public is likely to be slow and probably no access to open ports or manage it in any way.
I'm paying ~$45 CAD/month for a symmetrical 500Mbps line and I think its worth it. I'd never share this with anyone I don't know because my name is on it, anything anyone does will come back to me.
