They managed to patent the concept of capacitive buttons in a plastic case, for fucks sake. The whole patent system is broken beyond repair…

"We're not tasked with building deeply affordable or social housing. We can't be there. We're in business. Let's draw a line between these two," said Michael Brooks, president of Realpac, an organization that represents many of Canada's biggest landlords, including Starlight.
I mean, yes, by definition your landlords are in it for the ROI. But there is no line to be drawn. It’s the same housing market, the same people who can’t afford to live. Canadians can’t afford to draw a line.
An app “talks” to server through some interface (what they call an API). If the interface is known, another app can use the same interface. Telegram goes as far as providing code that interfaces with their protocol and full API documentation to explain how to use it. The base app is open source too, so developers can even peek at how the official app does it for inspiration.
It was self-fulfilling for me. I started self-hosting and messing with networking before I went into IT. I thought I’d be in a very different field until ~10 years ago.
The newest Teams app (and I think newest Outlook amongst others) is using system/Edge provided WebViews rather than Electron, which I guess takes care of the “each app gets its own Chrome instance” part of the Electron bloat. It’s so far running better than old Teams for me. On my old work laptop, the fans spun up the second the old Teams client launched lol
To be fair, when I hear a union rep saying “this outcome was good for the employer”, I kind of assume it is consequently bad for the workers. I don’t really believe win/win situations really happen in labour agreement negos lol
They were both pretty popular 10+ years ago, so you may have been old for a while. Or you just don’t watch Marvel stuff and/or other more recent fantasy TV lol
Deborah Ann Woll played in True Blood, then was cast into the Marvel universe through Daredevil, then Punisher. Bernthal played Punisher in the series of the same name, and in The Walking Dead before that.
they’re not heavy enough to sweat in
This sounds like a challenge my body would lose. I just sweat all the time, regardless of the temperature or level of physical activity.
The landlords, who are identified only by the initials S.O. and K.O., argued they had good reason to expect the rate would remain low when they purchased the property. The Bank of Canada had kept its interest rate low for more than decade, as part of the government's effort to stimulate the economy following the 2008 recession.
… in 2021? We were in the middle of a global pandemic, economy was already starting to show signs of stress, and a nationwide property values had shot up 25% YoY. How did they even manage to make the argument that anyone in their right mind would expect interest rates to remain low until the end of their term?!
Je suis en Montérégie, c’est très plat dans mon coin, donc non, heureusement. Mais l’eau s’est accumulée un peu partout dans le coin pareil, à des endroits où j’en avais jamais vu…
Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.
