  • If you don't like the term settler, it's not even than. Just the acknowledgement that you're with on treaty land, or more likely, on land not yet covered by a treaty. I guess there's the implicit acknowledgement that signing and upholding treaties is a good thing.

  • Probably, considering the average lifespan of a dementia patient. However, processing capacity could be built quickly* if it were a priority. It's just that the private sector isn't capable of creating or funding that priority on its own, so a competent government is required.

    *years rather than decades

  • And as we all know, you have to be a legally recognized authority on a subject to express an opinion about it online.

    Fortunately, in my jurisdiction I'm licensed as a RightHandOfKaros-is-wierdologist.

  • The feature is called QoS, and is available on even the cheapest router. Torrenting can cause network issues, at least on crappy infrastructure, not because of bandwidth usage, but because it opens a lot of connections and can overload a router if it doesn't have enough RAM.

    Tracking down and firing someone to cover your corporate iT incompetence is certainly a choice.

  • As opposed to the old "only the Great Powers have agency" gambit, which is actual Russian propaganda. Heaven forbid countries other than the US, Russian and China be even conceived of being able to take actions on their own.

  • There are good reasons to dislike Bambu, but that's just not true. Looking at a Wireshark trace, Bambu Studio connects to three domains: e.bambulab.com (version check), api.bambulab.com (download updated slicer settings and translated error messages), and mqtt.bambulab.com. The last one I can't tell exactly what it's doing, since only the HTTP stuff got decrypted in the proxy.

    Maybe the employee downloaded the installer from a sketchy russian hosting site?

  • The author slightly missed the mark with the discussion around rural areas. As is common when talking about infrastructure, he's conflating rural with remote. Rural areas have excellent electricity coverage, and can easily have enough public chargers to cover needs of the population. With few to no apartment dwellers, rural areas are actually easier to electrify than city.

    Remote areas (most of Nunavut in the article), don't have electrical infrastructure. Mostly they don't have people or roads either though. If we have to install the odd diesel powered charger in a remote settlement in order to roll out EVs to the rest of the country, that's still a solid win.

  • Socialism so far has an absolutely terrible track record with environmental protection. Unless you're just talking about being able to directly force societal change in general, in which case you're arguing for eco-flavoured despotism.

    Socialism doesn't even promise environmental protection, rather being focused on worker rights and minimizing inequality.
