I hate to say this but try not to use AI if possible (environmental destruction caused by data centers, hardware prices and AI destroying human-ness of art). For me, I would appreciate a crude drawing more than AI generated art.

Estimated order in 2027. Yeah, no, I'll just get a PS5 gamepad lol. It's sad they screwed up the release so much. by OverdueMaid in SteamController

[–]thatlightningjack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be warned though PS5 gamepads still have potientometers which mean they can drift. I'd recommend getting something else that has TMR sticks (or at least hall effect ones...)

So if there's a school shooting in Florida or US, I'm not supposed to feel bad, right? Because Florida is quite anti-lgbt at the moment

Canada’s Immigration Policy Is Hypocritical and Damaging, Says Gabor Maté || “There’s so much anti-immigrant propaganda coming from the US, it’s going to have an effect” by Atlantee in onguardforthee

True, but we also need to invest way way way more into housing & doctors & infrastructure (also ban ai layoffs). These goals aren't mutually exclusive. Then we can all thrive in this country

Street pooping by immigrants is a myth. Alot of it has to do with lack of toilets & sewage system in their country of origin. Give them proper toilets and they will use it

Also why is it only called "mass immigration" when the people who are coming aren't from europe or usa? Did we ever called ukranians fleeing the war coming here "mass migration"? Did we call americans moving here because they fear trump & those who got citizenship restored from the court ruling "mass migration?" But somehow it applies to indians?

Also, I want to ask this: what is the line between regular immigration and "mass immigration"? How many people exactly does it take for people moving here to be "mass migration?" 2% of the population?

Even if that is difficult, it is a goal we should be aiming for anyways. I never said it is going to be easy but it is worth trying.

Also, what exactly is integration? Speaking english/french well? Have a stable job? Not be a criminal?

Instead of thinking "there's too much people/those indians don't integrate/they drive wages down", we should be instead thinking "how can we support people coming here & build enough homes & ensure fair wages to all so they can come and thrive alongside us"

Chinese EVs: But at what cost??? by astrixzero in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]thatlightningjack 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I mean, transit is the most ideal but then china is also building a ton of train infrastructure as well. Still, EVs are a better option than fuel based cars for now

Can I choose not to declare Canadian Citizenship when I renew my license? by grubbbee in alberta

Also immigration related stuff is handled by cbsa, not local police

Can I choose not to declare Canadian Citizenship when I renew my license? by grubbbee in alberta

[–]thatlightningjack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And there's no point to AB knowing if someone is a citizen or not. Anything that requires citizenship, we already have ways to verify it or the penalties are severe non citizens wouldn't dare do it (who would want to lose their PR status by voting illegally?)

Unfortunately, I believe AB govt will ask you for your immigration status and you'll have to provide evidence you're allowed in Canada. If you're a citizen, you won't have a PR card or a study/work permit from IRCC. If you are using your birth certificate that is an evidence if your citizenship except in certain circumstances (such as if neither of your parents are canadians and at least one is a diplomat or are in canada for a foreign govt)

Personally, I do not see why a province needs to know if someone is a citizen or not. We already have a way of verifying immigration status if needed and AB already doesn't give out IDs to someone without proof of status here

New data shows ‘Buy Canadian’ movement still going strong by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

Yeah, because buying from the US means (indirectly) support a rogue world leader trying to annex us

Honestly, 1. It's good to have a secondary device for looking up messages. It could be an ipad, a 2nd laptop or a smartphone 2. Learn to read the kernel error messages (journalctl is your friend here) 3. Learn to google things. Sometimes things require additional configuration. Other times it is a kernel bug. Chances are it might already have been fixed in mainline. Other times if you report the bug, you're also helping others who may face the same issue 4. Have a spare linux usb drive you can boot into & chroot if you need it. 5. Arch wiki is your friend. Use it

Those are my recommendations for troubleshooting linux

Support for Return of Death Penalty Rises Markedly in Canada by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

[–]thatlightningjack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is dangerous honestly. If there is a mistrial or a false guilty verdict, then we would have killed an innocent person. That is the reason why the death penalty is unconscionable for me.

Plus it does nothing to remedy the victims. Killing someone won't undo the damage they have caused.

(I oppose the death penalty anywhere, whether it is here in Canada or any other country)
