I’ll be honest, somehow this sounds to me like more evidence the USA is preparing yet another attack…

MRW I see Canada doing the bare minimum for international justice…

If you take a very broad definition of “using AI” as ever having used a Google search where an AI summary came up, or having used a Linux or Microsoft kernel, IDE or software component version where AI was used for coding or checking/verifying the code in any way, then yes, it’s almost impossible, as you will have to revert your tooling completely to a 2022 or earlier toolchain.

However, your decision to use an LLM (AI) to generate new code is fully your decision as a programmer to make, always will be and I don’t think that’s anywhere close to impossible.

But not really surprising as much of this information was publicly released, this is just a report compiling it together in one easy-to-find and parse report.

Just don’t build it up only to let American or Israeli companies scoop up the technology for amounts immaterial to them.

Hmmm, while they do their job investigating Trump, I’m wondering why don’t Democrats just give him gaudy looking prizes and call him the best president ever, make AI Trump Jesus healing leper style paintings and a little money on the side to pass Medicare for All and other priorities? He is attracted to flattery, vanity projects and faux gold trinkets, he has no inner morals, so his signature on a bill might not be as hard to get as some might think…

Election night in 2024 was a downpour as well, funnily enough it does affect turnout in a measurable way.

People seem to be more interested in voting for a cardboard cutout controlled by a chaotic coalition of racists and billionaire bootlickers promising the moon along with tax cuts, rather than an imperfect but well-meaning leader with a good team and an ok platform, or a great leader with a good platform but an underdeveloped team.

It’s not over til the last ballot is counted but I’m now just hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

I think all parties were caught off-guard this time around. Anyway, I’ll be canvassing in Yaletown today for the BCNDP which polls suggest is a tossup, so at least I can say I tried something to manifest the outcome I want.

It’s not over til election night, and I voted on Wednsday, but unless there are a lot of latent voters that begrudgingly go out and vote NDP that haven’t been polled, signs are not looking positive. BCCons may run the board in Surrey, they’ve spent a lot of time campaigning there and I think that’s their ticket to power unless the NDP vote can get out there.

So if you’re in Surrey, now would be a great time to GOTV.

Start the clock in January, Democrats will have 6 years maximum to legislate away the Citizens United loopholes and enaxt long-overdue court reform as well.

Yep, I updated my public facing nextcloud as soon as I could too.

Ondrej’s repository has a php 5.6 fix for ubuntu if you can’t get any official backport yourself.

Congress needs an Executive Babysitting Committee where they bring in Trump for questioning and answering to his administration’s crimes every day with a rotating inquisitor. That should occupy him enough to keep him from doing dumb shit because on the weekend he’ll only have energy to go golfing.

Well, I think I get what you’re saying, and I think I’ve articulated myself well enough in my two earlier replies. If that’s how you feel in response to that, I’m terribly sorry you have to live with me. Have a nice night.

I agree the NDP is in that position, or at least preparing to be there now.

To say there is any nuance which would actually make the LPC look better than the NDP is complete nonsense.

I wasn’t comparing the LPC with the NDP directly as parties here, mostly the leaders. The party and leader to beat in Apr 2026 was the CPC and Poilievre. My point is that before anyone starts blaming would-be NDP voters in 2025, looking at the point-in-time context, Singh wasn’t up to the task at hand at dealing with Trump which was top of mind, while Carney was. The 6-week free trial of Carney we got gave us the sense he would be a neolib 90s style liberal, so aside from the qualifiers in my last comment, people shouldn’t be too surprised.

I also don’t like when Carney licks USA boot but he did show some spine this one time in August when absolutely everybody thought the Canadian negotiating team was going to capitulate to some very bad terms. Overall, I find he speaks very well to the room, which is why I despise his crowd-pleasing “great again” rhetoric while visiting the USA, but like what he says in Europe. It is him being shifty and two-faced, but as far as world leaders go, being competent and aware would give him a passing grade. I will continue to complement the LPC when they do things I like, and criticize them and also complain to my local LPC MP when they do things I don’t. There’s a solid amount of each.

I understand we have those options from the NDP now and a principled, capable organizer in Avi Lewis, but what was then-leader of the NDP Jagmeet Singh going to do in response to Carney had he been re-elected? “Fight fight fight?” Work together with Carney to be doublecrossed with Conservatives and let promises be broken or delayed later anyway? Singh was indeed effective and instrumental as leader in getting Liberal concessions to economic, social and environmental justice throughout his term, but at that moment he didn’t have the right response to threats at our doorstep.

I also understand the frustration and feeling tricked or backstabbed that Carney’s book Values isn’t fully reflective of his governance. Still, I tell many people they need to look at the full picture of what was going on at the time in early to mid- 2025, and what was at stake.

Found the 4 minute exchange shown in the article on El-Sayed’s BlueSky instead of xitter: https://bsky.app/profile/abdulelsayed.bsky.social/post/3my4gocauzs2x (Another person posted a Mastodon re-up if you prefer that)

It’s worth a watch, it’s so good that you’d think El-Sayed’s campaign tried to set this moment up yet in fact it’s the right-wing provocateur that came in thinking they could get soundbites insinuating Abdul is a terrorist, but went away with their clock cleaned instead.

No surprises as to why. Indivisible should immediately file the equivalent of an amicus brief to Brazilian courts because they are having these so-called “glitches” with Lula’s campaign as well.

This is good especially for things like Paradox games which was essentially p2w requiring all the DLC be able to get 100% completion. That’s still the case, but it would be better to know when you’re at 100% with all the expansions you currently have, or events you participated in.

I have some confidence in Ken Martin, the current DNC chair. DC consultants for the DNC seem to hate his guts, but he is partially responsible for the momentum Dems are seeing in unlikely places because the national party is not fully neglecting state races anymore, in favour of spending all the money in ‘swing state races’ as in recent years past.
