NORAD pact would change if Canada pulls back from F-35 order, warns U.S. ambassador
cbc.ca/news/politics/norad-can…
Remember all this shit american software that nag you with question and never have a "No" answer? It seems that Americans can't take no for an answer, and like a bully threaten when shown resistance.
And I expect David "Chamberlain" Carney to bend backwards to spend more of this austerity budget to buy these flying bricks.
The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't buy their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:
"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

This is a general problem with agents, not just in GO. They really like editing project files by hand, which often means that they install old versions of some dependencies.
I always have to explicitly ask them to use dependency management tools instead of manual file editing.
Sometimes marketing is the hardest challenge. I'm working on the App Store app preview screens for the Loops app, what do you think?

This is what austerity looks like, from Government that did cut *income* (was about taxing the rich more). The Neocon Party of Canada (NPC). Like PP, with better speech.

On the run up of #DataPrivacyDay we've asked the Tuta Community about your preferred Google alternatives.
Here's what you said about your favorite browsers! 🎉
Firefox is also proprietary software, and you should avoid the binary distributions of Firefox by Mozilla. However, Firefox can become free software as long as it gets its name changed - Firefox's source code is under MPL, and what makes Firefox proprietary is only its trademark. So you can try Iceweasel, GNU IceCat, or you can build your own browser from Firefox's source code with its trademark stripped out.
LibreWolf, Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser are ideal choices.
We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.
We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

It gives the impression they don't have smart people on board, and don't know anything about tech.
It's so frustrating the harm they continue to do.
Bin dankbar, hier im Fediverse meist konstruktiv über die Gefahren von Rechtsmimesis & Rechtsdualismus diskutieren zu können.
Erlebe jedoch leider immer wieder Verharmlosungen von Antisemitismus, von Sexismus & auch Ableismus von Links.
Meine Bitte: Bevor hier manche immer wieder in Gruppen gegen Moderate vorgehen, reflektiert auch die Schwächen Eurer eigenen Weltanschauung.
Danke. #Dialog #Demokratie #Rechtsmimesis #Linksmimesis #Antisemitismus #Ableismus #Connewitz mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/lei…
Connewitz: Warum Palästina-Gruppe Handala gegen linke Community mobil macht
Die pro-palästinensische Gruppe Handala hat zur Demo durch Connewitz aufgerufen. Im Visier haben sie die ansässige autonome Szene. Worum es geht.MDR AKTUELL (MDR)
Jemand poltert über Betroffene und respektvolle Hinweise für mehr Teilhabe hinweg und kriegt hdankenswerterweise ordentlich Gegenwind.
Da MUSS es sich um einen orchestrierten Angriff statt um einen eigenen Fehlgriff handeln.
Jeder macht mal einen Fehler und greift daneben. Das an sich ist nicht schlimm. Der Umgang damit, werter Herr Blume, macht aber den entscheidenden Unterschied.
Jetzt beleidigt zu sein, statt nur ein Wort der Versöhnung zu finden, setzt da meiner Meinung nach nur noch einen drauf. Das ist schade.

It's a little after 6 a.m. here. It's 18 degrees outside, with a wind chill of 5 below zero. We are definitely not used to this kind of cold. My poor mom had to step outside for a minute, and she said it actually hurt.
I just had breakfast. Scrambled eggs with cheese and toast, as one of the soft foods I can tolerate. Most of my nutrition right now comes from medical food shakes. Now I'm back in bed playing Evolve Incremental. I might rest for a bit, since I'm feeling tired and have a mild headache.
We have a very full house today. Four dogs and 24 cats, with most of them indoors because of the cold. My mom is doing a lot of refereeing between cats, keeping them out of trouble, and watching for the ones who like to pee in the house.
So, yesterday sucked.
I've had a toothache that comes and goes for the last little while. It reached new excruciating levels last night, and I essentially became nonfunctional for all intents and purposes. Finally got some sleep, and feel a little better this morning.
So, today, I get to see what my options are for dealing with this while outside of network.
Not that I would have found the backdoor either way, I wouldn't have found it by behaviour either.
Security features like landlock were patched in the upstream sources to enable the backdoor.
Looking forward to all the discussions we will have in #Brussels! See you there!

Man hat ja häufig das Problem, dass man sich große Vermögen schlecht vorstellen kann. Hier ein Versuch, das zu umgehen.
Wenn eine Pflegekraft Vollzeit arbeiten würde, bräuchte sie 971.428 und ein halbes Jahr, um das Vermögen zu erwirtschaften, das die BMW-Erb*Innen Klatten und Quandt heute besitzen.
Das ist dreimal die Zeit, die der Homo sapiens existiert oder die Hälfte der Zeit seit der Erfindung des Faustkeils.

Ich finde auch Folgendes anschaulich:
Stell dir vor, jemand gibt dir jede Sekunde einen Euro. Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf... Nach einer Stunde sind das 3600€, ein guter Monatslohn.
Für eine Million Euro brauchst du damit etwa 12 Tage.
Für eine Milliarde brauchst du etwa 32 Jahre.
Um bei heutigen Multimilliardär*innen anzukommen:
Für 50 Milliarden (Klatten, Quandt) brauchst du etwa 1500 Jahre.
Für 200 Milliarden (Musk, Bezos) brauchst du etwa 6000 Jahre.

Kyle Rittenhouse walked up to police carrying an assault weapon during protests in Kenosha, then killed people, and Conservatives called him a hero.
Alex Pretti filmed officers during a protest, kept his handgun holstered, was wrestled to the ground, had his weapon taken away, and then was shot dead, and Conservatives are calling him a terrorist.

Contributions of governments to #OpenSource are often unsustainable - fragmented, short term subsidies, feature work or new things. Nothing shifting billions of tax money from Big Tech to open source!
The public sector should work with existing communities that have managed a sustainable financial model. Commit to deploy these & shift real procurement money!

I had to check my carry-on bag as there was no room for it on the flight from YOW->YUL->BRU.
My carry-on didn't make the transition in Montreal & I got an email confirming that it should arrive tomorrow.
I'm now caught in a loop.
I can't seem to either "Report your delayed bag" or contact someone at #AirCanada to have it delivered..
I keep getting "Unable to locate delayed baggage file with provided information."
But were using the information they provided in the email about my luggage.
Just got it now. After hours on the phone with #AirCanada, frustration with subcontracting #BaggageHandling & #LostAndFound
Opened me up to #scammers too.

in reply to Ruprecht Polenz • • •Ok. Selbstdisqualifikation V 2.0.
"dienen nur als Blickfang". Hast du es tatsächlich nötig, deinen Texten einen "Blickfang" hinzuzufügen?
"mir fehlt die Zeit". Aha. Verfassen einer Bildbeschreibung dauert etwa 2 Min. Wieviele Bilder pro Tag postest du?
Und dann noch "wie 70 % aller im Fediverse" – woher stammt diese Statistik? Dient als Begründung etwa so gut, wie "ich prügle mit, weil andere ja auch prügeln".
Sorry. Einfach peinlich.

in reply to Wurzelmann • • •Hab gestern hier irgendwo gelesen, dass die Rate an Alttext im Fediverse auf 28% (oder so ungefähr?) gesunken ist, weiß aber die Quelle nicht mehr und ob das eine gute Quelle war.
Außerdem ist das eine schlechte Nachricht!!
Die Heuchelei von wegen "Ich bin für inklusiveres Agieren, aber ich mach's selber nicht" find ich echt nicht ok.
Und wer selber sieht und ein gutes Internet hat, kann beurteilen, ob ein Bild "nur ein Blickfang" ist oder nicht. Wer blind/sehbehindert ist, kann aber nicht wissen, welche wichtigen oder unwichtigen Infos das Bild enthält und welche Infos damit diesen Personen vorenthalten werden!! Darauf wurde Herr Polenz auch schon hingewiesen, aber das Argument ignoriert er natürlich.
Die Betroffenen dermaßen auszuschließen und Bildbeschreibungen mit "wie früher in der Schule" zu verunglimpfen, ist echt niveaulos. Aber dann immer schön "Ich bin für Inklusion" behaupten...
