Article says you can still play those, just not re-download on the same system it seems.

Your examples disagree with your initial statement actually. How did you get the log? How did you carve the figure? Both of these require energy consumption, as we aren't at the st…

Just to be clear, this isn't brick on a whim, this is disabling access to online services on a whim. Seems a lot of commenters are getting that confused due to not opening the link…

Alberta does not pay for the welfare of Canadians in other provinces, it has never paid towards any equalization systems. It has taken billions in debt though, including during COV…

That's not at all similar. We know exactly how many voted for Bernie. The only actual test of separatism in albert has been support for the pension plan and that has been so abysma…

I mean if you don't pay attention to foreign affairs, of course nothing seems consequential? You can begin here: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/19/how-has-bri...

There is no Alberta Pension Plan that exists today. All provinces also already run their own police forces. So there has been no movement on this in Alberta.

I heavily disagree with this one. On first glance what you say feels true, but there are so many mega popular people now that you will never know of despite even being from the sam…

I'm surprised you made the switch to liquid and not to powder. It's so much cheaper and not as fussy as liquid. That plus a tiny bottle of rinse aid that lasts forever winds up giv…

There is a cost burden to not being 100% correct when it comes to programming. You simply have chosen to ignore that burden, but it still exists for others. Whether it's for exampl…

Your use case is in fact in the top whatever percentile for AI usefulness. Short simple scripting that won't have to be relied on due to never being widely deployed. No large codeb…

I wouldn’t go that far to say that they have fantastic interfaces. Tolerable? Better than what free options existed at the time? Either way, there is a lot of room for improvement …

More like having a series of fake doors and rooms built out in front of your home, with most of them leading back outside and not into the home.

Are there any reputable anonymous micropayment services?

Each one of those “independent” points that can potentially fail is just added dependencies that increases inefficiency due do increased oversight, adds more red tape, and slows do…

VIA can't do much for INTRA city travel. For Ontario it's on Metrolinx and for Toronto TTC. Just in November TTC got roughly $750m in fed funding for subway cars especially for Lin…

Actually this very rail has been in discussion since 2016, started under VIA HFR. You can view a timeline of it here https://altotrain.ca/en/key-milestones/

Very specific rules that minimize the use of negations is more applicable. This is also kind of why chain of thought in LLMs can be useful, in that you can more explicitly see the …
