Also me, as someone who lives in Greenland, Canada, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, etc. China is not threatening to invade, USA is.

Uber costs more than regular taxi? In what country/region? Not where I am.

I’ve been very happy with Mikrotik.

Chose them partly to reduce dependence on US tech too.

Perhaps it’s not the system, perhaps it’s the electorate.

Can we get a competitor please?

Don’t shop on the internet. Shop in the real world.

CIWS?

Yeah, if OpenBSD had ZFS it’d be perfect.

Is it an el cheapo VPS?

Or by installing a BSD or linux.

What “responsive” mean here?

Aren't there only a dozen or so mountains above 8000 m? Can you really do that without supplementary oxygen? Amazing.

DSA?

Amazon is full of garbage. Is this not well known to Average Joe?

Probably at least partly recency bias. Will be interesting to compare numbers if China invades Taiwan.

Who would one lobby to have better en-CA support? OS vendors? browser vendors? ISO? Is there some governing body of such things?

Not just US technological hegemony, but the USA has threatened to invade Europe (Greenland) and Canada, and has actually invaded Venezuela and Iran. China hasn't. Maybe lots of people that live in those places are now switching sides.

Stop contributing now. Why wait?

I think blogs talking up the risk side have a responsibility to also talk the other side.

She did. But perhaps not sufficiently for you?

OK but a job is a collection of tasks.

Did you do that for personal use or for billions upon billions of dolars?

So will this let us install apps (on suitably old hardware) without needing an AppleID?

No one else I guess. But they could use it themselves, building whatever plants/factories/server farms needed to use it.

What if it becomes urgent to reduce CO2?

What?! It has been urgent for years.

Canada needs new power now. Not 15-20 years from now.

Those can both be true. Canada will likely need more power in 15 years too. It's called long term planning.
