It appears to have support for the 4G and 5G bands that Rogers, Bell and Telus use

But the last time I was looking at Fairphone, they didn’t sell to Canada directly.

Interesting… I wonder why?

Haven’t heard of kjiji, I’ll have to check it out.

It’s essentially Craigslist, but in Canada.

Craigslist doesn’t really have a user base here.

I believe LLMs are good at some things

The problem is that they’re being used for all the things, including a large number of tasks that thwy are not well suited to.

is like using a power tool as a table leg.

Then again, our corporate lords and masters are trying to replace all manner of skilled workers with those same LLM “AI” tools.

And clearly that will backfire on them and they’ll eventually scramble to find people with the needed skills, but in the meantime tons of people will have lost their source of income.

Mostly because the FOSS community doesn’t have a single point of leadership that is maniacally focused on becoming a total monopoly.

And that’s a good thing

'It used to be this and I want it to be this way, hold my hand for an hour while telling me its not this way anymore

Yeah, but that already happens every time Microsoft does a major version “upgrade”.

Embrace, extend, extinguish will accelerate.

Increasing that price means less people will buy the product.

Unless your competitors are also facing the same forced price increase.

That is the least of his linguistic faults.

her goal isn’t to get them to stop, it’s to get them to recognize what garbage writing is and how to fix it so it isn’t garbage anymore.

Sadly, that may be the best we can hope for.

They already have - having Nukes.

That only defends against a sane leadership with a military chain of command that isn’t compromised.

I hope they’re not as ridiculous as the Canadian Reform party was.

Obama put in some regulations on the investment industry with the intent of preventing another sun-prime /derivative crisis.

And Trump removed those protections a few years later for no other reason that Obama had implemented it in the first place.

If it’s on private property who gives a shit

• Fires don’t respect property lines.

• Rescue workers still have to deal with the mayhem (and risks you have created) if you do something stupid on your own property.

If your idiot son wants to build a structurally questionable tree house and the parents don’t do anything about it and he dies that’s on them.

Some of us have human empathy.

See: Regulations around building structures on private property.

Even those are based on people doing it wrong in the past and endangering themselves and others.

The more judgement based exceptions you put in the regulations, the less compliance you have, and the more “rules lawyers” on your crew wasting time and energy trying to talk their way around some edge case loophole.

And the more often people will take the lazy option, rather then the safe one.

That time was back on November 6.

Or January 20.

Google scans YouTube videos for information about what products appear in them

Yes, but not specifically looking for products. They’re scanning to try to learn everything about the video with the goal of better matching suggestions to the interests (as determined by watch history) of viewers.

The intention is (as always) to increase viewer session time because the more time viewers spend on the platform, the more ads they see and ultimately the more money YouTube makes.

Of course, that scanning and view history can also be used to target ads with the goal of increasing ad click-thru and conversion (ultimately also driving the profit goal)
