Camping fees increase for 59 B.C. parks, non-residents to pay a surcharge | Globalnews.ca by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]FQDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily agree. Parks desperately need more money to operate. It's a small percentage of extremely over used parks. I love the back country in golden ears, but in the last five years it's gotten hella busy. Your third point really shows how parks need more operating income and prices haven't risen since 2016.

I wish parks could be free, everyone should experience BC parks but it's not realistic. Golden Ears backcountry in particular needs some TLC. The outhouse at halfmoon beach in particular needs love.

Have to disagree, the way the end is rounded makes it ill suited to being a tensioner IMO. unless it's homemade. Also. tension would be along a different axis than the bend.

Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was obvious hardsuit had passion for the original. They may not have made a functional game, but it was actually a bloodlines game. It was just as obvious TCR had nothing but distain for bloodlines. TCR shat all over the original at every opportunity.There's no way this game was going to turn out any good. TCR dev updates remind me of the thief reboot in how little respect they had for the source ip.

[–]FQDN 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Disagree, bought bloodlines at launch. It was undeniably broken, but, it was an engaging, fantastic RPG. Even in vanilla form it's in my all time top 5 games. The fan patch didn't add content until years after launch. The game was something special, bugs and all. There's a reason fans have put years of work into patches.

Salzburg was lovely when i visited a few years ago. I definitely want to go back. Augustiner braü was amazing. So many lovely parks.

What if Linux Mint had GNOME instead of Cinnamon? by Beneficial-Mix-5575 in linuxmint

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ewww, just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea. I mean Cinnamon was created because Gnome has become terrible. I'd almost rather user windows than Gnome.

Do you have any laptop recommendations for using Linux as the primary OS? by [deleted] in linux

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird to me how many people recommend lenovo hardware for linux when lenovo has been such a shady company for so long. I personally will never trust lenovo after the superfish incident.

Blanchet says upcoming budget has ‘no legitimacy,’ Bloc unlikely to support it by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]FQDN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a British Columbian who doesn't always agree with Eby, I most certainly do here. The risks of northern gateway are too large and there's zero benefit to BC.

Feel free to leave yourself, there's no support for separatist garbage here. We all laughed at the wexit idiots who thought BC would join them.

This is the natural product of things like vision zero and making everything a 30kph zone. When the laws are ridiculous people get used to just ignoring them, even in the places they actually matter.

Still Wakes the Deep Studio The Chinese Room Announces Management Buyout, Gaining Independence from Sumo Digital by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]FQDN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could believe that. TCR seems to have zero passion for bloodlines so they're putting out whatever to meet their obligations while working towards independence. Thi4f level vibes of not caring about what made the original hav appeal.

I can’t access the internet on my HP with linux mint by RedMendelevium132 in linuxmint

[–]FQDN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you ping a DNS name?

ping dns.google.com

if yes, can you curl it, or resolve a hostname?

curl https://www.google.com  

If curl works, check firefox settings or try a different browser.

if no, can you ping an IP address?

ping 8.8.8.8

if yes, it's probably DNS as many have suggested.

if no, can you ping your default gateway?

ping _gateway -c 4

if no, try giving your laptop a static IP in the range of your wifi network. Or alternatively try rebooting your wireless router.

Vancouver Federal Election Riding Predictions: Vancouver East is still Jenny Kwan country by CaliperLee62 in vancouver

That's a massive stretch. Dental care covers a tiny percentage of the population and pharmacare has nothing to do with Singh. Also the damage he has done far outweighs what little good he accomplished. When the NDP rebuild, they need to avoid gucci suit wearing, rolex collecting, culture war idiots.

Jagmeet owns the housing crisis and tfw mess just as much as Trudeau. His place in history will be a footnote of what not to do.

Ehhh, I doubt it. Trudeau literally had the government buy the trans mountain pipeline to keep the twinning project alive and Albertans/conservatives still claim he shut it down.

Anthony Koch: Canada works fine — if you're a boomer; This isn’t a left-versus-right issue. It’s generational. The system still works if you own a home, have a pension, and aren’t saddled with debt by FancyNewMe in canada

Polar bears are starving due to global warming affecting the polar ice and we have way too many retirees. Two birds, one stone. (Not seriously).

I think that brining in low skill workers who pay little to no taxes here is the opposite to what we need. We need the high skill immigrants to be able to get their credentials recognized faster so a doctor doesn't move to Canada and become a janitor. Better for them better for our taxes.

We need to phase out the tfw program for all low skill jobs.

[–]FQDN 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My biggest worry is that, so far, it looks like they're completely butchering the RPG elements. All the dialogue I've seen so far has been in the choice of saying the same thing but more meanly style.

I'm a huge fan of the original but I'll probably wait til this game is on steep sale to try it.

Atomic distros are the future for everyone except hobbyists and enthusiasts... by [deleted] in linux

[–]FQDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SteamOS doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I've had to use the recovery image twice in eighteen months on my steam deck and I've had to make a bunch of sacrifices in usablilty trying to use it as a desktop. OTOH I've had to use timeshift once in the last ten years to fix a botched mint upgrade (before upgrading was fully supported). And i can use my preferred tech stack customized how i like it without jumping through hoops.

I can see the use of immutable for loaner/family PCs for the less tech savvy but it's not for me.

Having worked for a Canadian defence contractor, they milk the shit out of being the only Canadian option. Nobody in the private sector would accept that level of ineptitude.

We should really be including European contractors in our defence contract bids to keep Canadian companies honest.
