@EtherNRhum@mstdn.ca Made this when Kenney was still screwing Alberta. Still works, one person was really indignant I put this out there, by today's standard's it's pretty lame. Even made a bunch of bumper stickers which went really fast. I always warned people they might het their car keyed.

@Jam123 @mrfoostang@foostang.xyz Undoubtedly, this second presidency has been a spectacle of indecision, incompetance, toadyism, and corruption. Did I leave anything out. Presided over by a dottering senile old fart.

@Jam123 @mrfoostang@foostang.xyz lol forgot about that. Watching the news, apparently the story I read he was going to target all trade has been changed to Kharg island traffic. I still think he'll try make a profit on it. How's the 25th amendment coming?

@Jam123 @mrfoostang@foostang.xyz You've seen what happens when DJT gets an idea stuck in his head. That news blurb about joining the Iranians in black mailing traffic? If he's intent on blocking the straight too, then he's setting an extortion scam on international trade. At least the Iranians had a cause. DJT is in it for the hustle and will validate it by telling nations it's to pay for their military costs since no one offered to help when they needed it. Another claim will be he's providing protection.
US seizes Iran oil tanker. Price surges. We the voters can no longer rely on oil as our main source of energy. All efforts should be made to phase it out and end all this insanity.
Fuck the calvary, saved by the First Nations.

Canada needs them to be as fast as fighter jets or they are useless for any type of aerial defence.
@AlisonCreekside I hear it's the new DJT tourist business. Refurbishing tropical countries they've bankrupted, depopulate the population to make room for new wealthy tourists. I hear Greece is next.

@DavidM_yeg Oh sorry, I thought you were involved with the discussion.

Defence against a hostile aggressor. The discussion originated on the suitability of fighter jets to purchase for Canada's aerial defence, then turned to drones. I don't claim to have any special aviation knowledge nor do I think the others do.
Why should drones fly like fighter jets, is the same reason you don't have a weapons platform like the the AC10 Thunderbolt flying as interceptors in a dogfight, too slow. Drones can't yet intercept a jet fighter at mach speeds to prevent an attack, or escape being shot down.
Speed in aerial combat has always been the advantage to gain air superiority and domination over a battlefield. Allowing slower moving aircraft like aerial weapons platforms to assist ground operations and rescue aircraft. It's been that way since aircraft were first used in WW1 as combat vehicles.
If you are going to use drones as a sole means of aerial defence then they need to be as fast as fighter jets and they can be faster than.

I was seduced by the new macbook air m1's after I had moved into a smaller space. I was running manjaro with an openbox wm till then. Last summer someone asked me to transfer some old 78's to digital. I could have done it on the macbook but I didn't want to tie it up. I bought a used box with w10, monitor, keyboard and I splurged on a new mouse. When I was done, I boxed it up and put it in the corner of my closet.
I dug it out awhile back out of boredom. I tried upgrading it to w11 and discovered it doesn't meet the req's. The advertising on w10 was annoying and with all the shit happening politically I decided to install linux and went distro hopping.
The first thing I noticed was how linux had advanced, the second was a diminished repository of packages in distros. Maybe the shitty ones were weeded out? While hopping I started de-americanizing my internet services using Startpage, euronews, etc.. I'm installing Arch right now and imo it should be the official CanadianOS.
The CIA installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi after instrumenting a coup of Iran's elected government. It wouldn't surprise me if this is another operation. His son in an interview not too long ago, imo had no ambitions of leading Iran. It was as if he'd put that life behind him. What happened?
I see CBC has joined in on the propaganda. A new show, Prisoner 95🔹🔹1 is about a defenceless Iranian woman married to a white English man is kidnapped by the Iranian government. In light of the current attack on Iran, who exactly are the bad people here. POC or Whites?
https://gem.cbc.ca/prisoner-951I was following a conversation here and one of the comments was Linux is a OS affordable to people who are finding Win and Mac beyond their means. Can''t remember who's. The massive costs AI is placing on memory, is increasing the costs of computers, making them more unattainable for tighter budgets. Distro hopping has taught me a Linux system can fit on a 60g USB drive. Both ideas lead me to speculate on a new type of computer set up. What if we got rid of a computer in a box and made a platform for monitors, keyboard, mouse, network, and USB ports. Besides a minimal memory to operate the box, the OS is on the USB. You could take your USB computer with you and plug in to any one of these platforms. I imagine this has many advantages ans disadvantages, but it's permanent, more comfortable to 'work', and you wouldn't have to be squinting using your phone.
Remember the early days of Covid and the rise of the Antimasker/vaxxers? Some bright eyed numpty took umbrage at the social shunning and created a vision of strength, bravery, freedom, yada, yada. I just couldn't leave it alone and decided the portrayal of reality was called for.
What's this? On live feeds I picked 'other servers' and noticed a lot of the toots are for news, charities, educational, businesses. Under 'all', almost all the toots are news, educational, business. One of the reasons I like Mastodon is the lack of in your face adverts. If these toots are becoming more common place then we'll start seeing ads for aardvark spas, nukes, to xylophone tuners imo. Capitalists are insidious.

https://github.com/woheller69/FreeDroidWarn?tab=readme-ov-file#solutionsI've read some of the earlier articles of the original site in Gobekli Tepi. Now they think the standing structures represent giant penises eh, well what else are you going to do without tv and fire has only one station. The early Central and South American tribes had stories of a great flood/s. They didn't have tv either and passed the time lopping heads off.
For a government website saying it's stilted is an understatement.
