Canada is in this boat too.

I hear you, and agree wholly. Unfortunately that’s as much solace as I can offer for now.

And combine that with all the private user data they have from the corp social medias and they have the very Big Brother no one wanted a government to ever have.

It is “a centre” not “the center” of an object, but rather “a centre” as in a building.

In Canada, the only province that historically has a rate that high is Ontario, and that is because they use Nuclear power, which is more expensive to maintain, and also they have no protection laws for consumers. So residents of Ontario pay what the US companies are willing to pay for power.

The neighbouring province, Quebec, uses primarily Hydro Electric dams, and has protection laws that restrict pricing for hydro power for residents of Quebec to a reasonable margin above cost, regardless of what the US is willing to pay for the power.

When I lived in Ontario, the price was $24c/kwh, while Quebec was $8/kwh

Ontario has had new laws passed with the energy board and now it appears their price is down to $14c/kwh according to this site, but I’m willing to bet that is highly dependent on surge pricing. Getting straight answer on costs is difficult these days with all the tiered pricing.

Apparently Alberta is more expensive than Ontario now… Must be all that “freedom” they have… Did they privatise electric in addition to everything else there? I’m not familiar with how their grid is powered… Maybe its oil/coal based. Which would be unsurprising.

He lived long enough to see the US government filled with his people by Trump

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.

Cyberattack is a funny name for Trump Tariffs

No argument there.

Its dangerous software that should not be in the hands of the general public until it has been made to not answer these types of questions. And yet apps are specifically being built for these types of questions for ChatGPT.

Thats like knowing gasoline shouldn’t be drank but opening a gasoline serving lemonade stand.

Every banana in existence is in this picture.

Mr Boimler! Beam Moopsy over to that… thing and let’s call it a day. We have a dinner celebration to attend.

This was a millennial film. Boomers were parents when this film aired… Hell, so was a good portion of Gen X.

Anyone contributing to open source either does it:

• on their companies dime, which means they work for a rare company building open source solutions
• at the end of their day, on their weekend, or during their vacation

Most FOSS devs are in position two. By a large margin. They could be relaxing, or earning more money doing freelancing to make ends meet, but instead they are trying to build something they want to see happen. That requires focusing on the important tasks and that often means not having time to spend on poorly reported bugs that are actually users just not RTFM and opening issues. It wastes the devs time, and projects with too much of this have development stagnate and are frequently shuttered.

And devs that just do this to get a better job stop contributions once their new job takes over their life, and then the project suffers.

Users need to appreciate FOSS devs more because some of the most important projects we need in 2025 are developed only because they want to see them happen.

I have run Pihole on 2 physical Pi 4s (DietPi OS) with config sync for 3 years now. Core to the house. Very reliable.

Take my depressed upvote.

Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.

Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.
