Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them.
After decades in which the imperialist neoliberal order was not even questioned in the West, less than three weeks into it 2026, Canada, one of the biggest US vassals is saying this. 😆

Two things that make it ridiculous:
- never heard of the fediverse?
- they want to card people. This is probably the biggest red flag.
Binding people to their real names, so they can be tracked across websites they think they are anonymously browsing, is the fantasy of every marketer and domestic surveillance enthusiast.
That will never go away.

OK, TIL (Today I Learned):
If "apt install" tells you "after this installation, XX GB additional disk space will be used" – that means that YOU SHOULD LOOK if that's available. Because, APT DOES NOT – it simply … well, stops working when the disk is full 🤦♂️
Have fun then cleaning up. Glad I ran a Timeshift backup immediately before…
(EDIT: it was `apt` in my case, not `apt-get`. But such a thing simply should not happen at all.)

Translation for Americans: a member of the Irish parliament (the Dail) who happens to be a barrister (an attorney specialising in advocacy in front of a judge, including criminal prosecution/defense) has formally written to the head of the Irish cybercrime unit setting out applicable charges against X/Grok and sternly requesting formal prosecution of that company on child pornography/trafficking charges.
If anyone wants more confirmation other than PasteBin, here's the Irish Independent's article on this, from yesterday.

in reply to Liam Erven • • •It's AM, FM, NOAA weather radio.
FM sensitivity is improved when headphones or supplied wire antenna are attached.
For its size, it's quite sensitive on all bands and is quite selective, as well.
5 memory presets each band. Tune in the desired frequency, press and hold memory button until you hear beep.
Selectable AM filtering to improve selectivity by pressing 1 and 3 buttons to toggle through options.
Tuning is by up/down buttons, 10KHZ AM, can't remember FM steps.
75 hours battery life claimed on two AA batteries.
$74.95 on Amazon.
It's definitely a good stadium or arena use.
If you don't mind the digital and lack of tuning knob, it's a good choice for a small compact portable. Comes with ear buds and wire FM antenna.
