Which services are you thinking of?

The major thing I've seen is reducing the number of public sector employees back to 2020 levels, which doesn't seem wild. (I haven't seen a good explanation of why we needed to increase the public sector by 20% since then, nor of what we got out of that. If you have anything, I'd love to read it!) Throw in some reductions of outside consultants etc...

There are undoubtedly some programs getting cut. But given we're teetering on the edge of an adversary induced recession, that doesn't seem unsreasonable.

I don't love everything in there but overall, seems a pretty fair mix of "dealing with the American shitstorm", helping the economy and hopefully getting us on a greener path. Yes, there are parts I'd like more of and otherd of which I'd like less but in terms of a broad compromise that I think is reasonable to a large swathe of Canadians, I'm a pretty big fan.

Don't have much to add but sorry people were dicks to you and Albertans as a whole.

Left, Right, I think everyone is just so used to demonizing those with whom we disagree that folks lose sight that nowhere is a monolith and even the most Conservative province still has a huge number of Progressives (and vice versa.)

Thanks for pointing it out though. I definitely will casually drop a "fucking Alberta" when Smith starts shit and forget how that sounds to the million(s?) who don't support her.

I'm dumb and initially read the poster as the Mattress of Dracula. Which frankly, I now want to watch.

Great points!

It feels like these should be solvable problems, though.

I absolutely fully agree. Honestly, I think some sort of micro transaction system would be the answer to ubiquitous advertising etc.

I like that assumption but am a little doubtful... I remember when we all figured no president could ever be dumber the Bush 2...

The people who upvoted and moved on, probably have a sense of humour. The ones who stopped to yell "that's not funny!!!", probably less so.

I'd be super curious to see how much of that is food delivery bikers. In my city, they are everywhere but I'm not dude I've ever seen a woman doing it. But in terms of reckless cycling, those delivery folks are way over represented (which makes sense, their income depends on speed.)

Oh interesting, I'd figured I'd just stick with the default environment but I suppose I could absolutely look around for ones that play nicely with some beginners distro like Mint.

Thanks!

There were definitely more person days spent doing it the traditional way. Ib the article they note they would've started a year ago. Even just the handful of folks on set, the caterers, drivers, costumers, location scouts, permit wranglers, talent, director, writer etc probably gets close to 145 people days if the shoot went over 2 or 3 days.

Ha, I loved that show, especially the music.

I love punk from the late 90s early aughts it I always giggle as they had no idea how bad it was going to get.

Ha, yeah I've seen a lot of advice about snapshotting the install in case I accidentally destroy it. Love the notion of having that automated! There's a whole world of linux awesomeness that I'm looking forward to. (Until I try abd am reduced to tears but until then...!)
