  • I was able to use that trick to cancel my Adobe sub without a cancellation fee and then bought Affinity Photo 2 right after. I've integrated it fully into my workflow now and won't ever look back.

    Fuck Adobe and fuck their stranglehold on creative industries.

  • BC now has a confirmed NDP majority government so it should be ok for at least the next 4 years. Federally, things are going to get iffy though.

  • Homes? Apartments? Dorms? The same places Canadians live? I'm not sure what the question you're asking is. Asylum seekers don't require special accommodations.

  • I intend to write to my MP pressing that we need to remain open to accepting those fleeing persecution in the US.

  • I just want to pop in to say that BC just had its provincial election a few weeks ago and narrowly avoided electing a batshit crazy fascist fringe party by a razor-thin margin. BC might be more progressive on paper but we still fall into the exact same traps that get populist fascists like Trump elected.

    Doesn't help that our voter turnout is pathetic and, generally, progressive-minded people don't vote.

  • Love that place. Been there numerous times over the years.

  • Conservatives trying to deregulate scam products is entirely on-brand for them.

  • A phone which can fit snuggly into even the tiniest of my jeans' pockets sounds really appealing. I've kept a loose eye on these things for a while now, but I've been constantly put off by the price, durability, and sacrifices made to other features. My carrier also rarely (if ever) seems to extend any sales or promos to folding/flipping phones like they do for others. They are extremely expensive - exceeding even top shelf iPhone Pro's and Pro Max's for price.

  • They did used to make really good games. It was just a very very very long time ago. Many of the gamers that associate Ubisoft with being shit weren't even born back when they used to make decent, innovative games.

  • There are certainly some people that willingly choose not to vote, but there are also a lot of people that can't. Either because of inability to get to a polling station, employer that won't give them time off (or threatens punishment), or they live in a state that is actively attacking their voting rights and/or making it extremely difficult to vote.

    It's important to remember that one of the parties in the US two-party system is effectively a fascist party and they hold power in many states. It is often not as simple as "just go vote".

  • No thanks. After the BC election I don't think my mental health can handle watching another circus where people line up to vote away their rights.

  • If it is going to be a primary computer or a work computer then I would get the Pro. The extra horsepower and cooling just simply make it more capable.

    The Air is still a very good laptop and it is surprising what it can do, but if this is going to be a work tool for you then you should get the best that you can afford. An Air might be good 90% of the time but that 10% where it overheats will suck heaps.

  • Wow, this comment teleported me back to 2010 dealing with edgy 15 year-olds that think their opinion is the only thing that matters.

    Turns out, people don't like it when software is installed on their computers without their permission. Especially when it violates their privacy! The term for this is "malware".

  • A lot of Linux users here think the conversation begins and ends with game support. A lot of us use our computers for work and there is a lot of productivity and creative software that does not play nice with Linux. I've probably said this a dozen times here before but I'll say it again: Not all of us use our computers solely for gaming.

  • Games that change their terms post-sale should present the customer the option for an automatic no-questions-asked refund. Leaving the customer with the options: Agree, Decline, Refund.

  • I like the idea of bicycle turn indicators because I often can't safely take my hands off my handlebars to do hand signals, but 300lm isn't bright enough. That's $9.99 Home Depot flashlight levels of brightness.

  • Oh goody. Another SEO-infested, ad-riddled, AI-plagued search engine that gives me everything except what I searched for. Exactly what I wanted.

  • Meta spokesperson told us that it's "aware of this type of behavior, and continues to take action against accounts and content that violate our policies."

    "It doesn't seem to be something that's being actively moderated," Johnson told The Register. "The accounts have been around for a month, two months

    lol. lmao, even
