I think a digital services tax may be in order

Gaming Then vs Gaming Now
I remember visiting my friend while he was in the middle of installing a game, and it failed on the 10th of 10 disks

What online games can be played by 2 users?
https://www.boardgamearena.com has a bunch of board games, if you're into that. I've played a bunch using my phone, and it works just fine.
A number of games require a premium membership, but there's quite a few that are free

In that shot, he is still before the hog line, but regardless still not allowed to touch that part of the stone. Touching it there should have zero effect on the actual throw, but it's still illegal

Why are SMS messages so expensive?
Unlimited SMS is on most cell phone plans nowadays, at least in Canada.
On a slightly different tack: I run a website, and I choose not to implement SMS for notifications - only email. Email is free. Adding SMS, even at $0.007 per message, could add up to big bucks.

Canadians could stay visa-free longer in U.S. under proposed bill
If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.
"To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period."
Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

The greatest traffic ticket
112km in a 64km zone for all you metric folks.
Damn they must have been hungry.
In Ontario that's 2km short of a speed racing charge where they can seize your car and fine you $10000

Torrent client rankings
I switched from Transmission to qBittorrent a while ago, and I have some regrets: mainly that the qBittorrent web ui is extremely hard to navigate on mobile. Everything is tiny, and I can't zoom in and navigate around the page without right-click menus popping up

What should we do about license violations in apps that rely on work of Lemmy contributors?
I believe it's up to the license holder to enforce it.
So notifying the respective projects can't hurt, but if they refuse to comply, and the copyright owner of lemmy-js-client doesn't care, then the code is probably licensed incorrectly

Radon gas may be giving more Canadians lung cancer. Scientists are racing to save lives
I had zero idea about it until a plumber I called in casually mentioned that I should get a test. My house used to have 10 times the safe* limit that Health Canada recommends.
I now have a radon system in my house

I bought the absolute cheapest model and had to stretch my budget a little in order to do it
I looked to sell mine about 2 years ago, but the resale on it was so bad, I just couldn't afford it.
I have to settle for just never buying another Elon product, even preferring 3rd party chargers instead of superchargers. And maybe get one of those bumper stickers
