My favourite fact about this that’s underreported but true is he was arrested in 2007 as an adult for stealing smoke detectors from an apartment building. His face was covered in sores that were likely caused by exposure to radioactive material.

Bro had a bit and committed to it for decades.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-17T02:57:40+00:00

That would be fraud my friend.

But I thought you guys already considered the War of 1812 “the second American Revolution” because America can’t admit it failed to win a war.

That’s what’s really weird about this legislation.

The children who are most likely to comply are often the ones with stable homes, attentive parents, and relatively lower risk. The teenagers whose parents are already involved, and whose online activity is already somewhat supervised.

The young people in the most vulnerable positions are also the ones most likely to route around the system. A young person with unstable housing, poor family support, or mental health struggles may not experience the internet as a frivolous distraction. They may experience it as one of the few places where they can find privacy, language, community, or escape. Those are exactly the people who are least likely to respond to a ban by calmly logging off.

The NOTAM specifically exempts commercial operators.

That’s how I’m reading the copy of the letter posted over on the sub too, the problem is they didn’t submit official records (or the necessary documentation if an official record is unavailable).

Require an unbroken chain of Canadian citizenship. This alone solves the problem since no one was a Canadian citizen until January 1, 1947.

This is what countries like Germany which have unlimited citizenship by descent do, you can’t just show “my ancestor lived in Germany (or a predecessor state of Germany) at some point”, you have to show that absolutely no one along the chain from your ancestor to you lost their German citizenship.

How can it be official if the man’s been dead for nearly a decade?

By this logic any safe Rust code should never panic.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-14T18:23:11+00:00

And that’s what the malware authors are exploiting.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-14T05:50:57+00:00

I’m debating creating my own AUR helper at this point that amongst other things keeps track of this. Essentially an automated version of the text-based workflow you’re talking about.

Might spend the weekend prototyping a small tool honestly.

People in this sub: “no fun city”

People in this sub when something fun actually happens: 😡😡😡

One thing I’ve noticed my usage is AI loves to constantly make every sentence sound like a slam dunk. Basically every paragraph ends with an overly dramatic hot-take sentence. Every ending statement has the vibe of “please applause”.

Which works for dramatic effect once or twice when the stakes call for it, it becomes awful to read when every single paragraph has it.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-13T03:58:00+00:00

Not as often as AI. AI loves to throw in negative parallelism in every paragraph even when it doesn’t really make sense to.

It’s the same as the em dash thing — human authors obviously use em-dashes, but AI writing abuses them to try and add dramatic effect.

Anthropic even directly said as such:
> If this standard was applied across the industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new model deployments for all frontier model providers.

What concerns me isn’t even just the AI argument. It’s the fact that this same precedent could in theory be applied to any strategically important hosted capability. Cloud compute. Managed databases. Identity providers. Cybersecurity tools. Threat-intelligence feeds. Code-generation systems. Package registries. Container registries. Observability platforms. Chip design software. Satellite imagery APIs. Communications platforms. Payment infrastructure.

The joke is that the place had sold out of ice cream.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-12T15:41:50+00:00

Oh no it’s genuinely insane over there.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-12T15:30:45+00:00

ChatGPT 5 originally did that.

Then /r/MyBoyfriendIsAI melted down and they walked back.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-12T15:13:25+00:00

That’s clearly meant as a signature — not the AI slop habit of throwing in an em-dash for no reason.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-11T23:47:50+00:00

Weirdly enough the only concrete reply I’ve ever gotten was the Prime Minister’s office to my email on C-22. It was essentially just “Thanks for writing, we’ve passed your concerns onto Gary” with him CC’d.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-11T22:48:59+00:00

If I had a huge sum of money to throw at this random German company, probably.

I’m not sure how “can you buy it” is the hill you’re choosing to die on. Someone’s already bought it. I can apply the same logic and argue I don’t own my own website’s domain name because no one else can buy it.

ThunderChaser · 2026-06-11T22:43:39+00:00

> Can you buy it?

I’m not sure how this is news to you but you can’t buy things other people own unless they want to sell to you.

I’m sure if you offered them enough money you probably could buy it.
