Not OP. I was agreeing with you, haha.

It’s kind of the problem with Lemmy sometimes.

Hmm. I’m not into conspiracy theories, if that’s where this is going.

Hmm. I wonder where OP’s number came from.

If everyone else doesn’t know what they’re talking about, maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Justin, of course, was a culture war liberal with his gender equal cabinet etc

So on the left.

I think I’ll just leave it there.

Maybe the latest discovery by Dragonfly.

Far fewer people will be able to read it, without doing something illicit and maybe expensive, although certain countries will still be free enough. On the other hand, it (or PieFed or a future version) could be endorsed by the remaining nations, or just have had some more exoduses of users come in.

Slight chance the AI winter we’re going into is short and some specific fusion with classical algorithms succeeds at AGI, so singularity stuff is going on and being posted about. 2038 problem, as someone else mentioned.

Edit: Q-day stuff could be done, coming soon or ongoing. If it’s done - which I kinda expect - it’s still a massive source of both breaches and fun mods on old, locked software and hardware.

Allowing calls to proliferate in the first place and be addressed would indicate some level of free speech.

5% sounds high just by how things are, and how little people understand what it is. I’d buy 1%, though, and that’s something.

Trump is right that Canada in between the lower 48 and Alaska is border gore. But there’s another solution…

Probably, LLM-based will sound like web-enabled at that point - a dusty old buzzword. They’ll have something newer and shinier even if it’s still an LLM inside.

The drones giving migrants a scan first is on the optimistic side, if things go at all how they seem to be.

If the composition of Lemmy is even remotely the same that will be everywhere.

Not shocked. The fact other people might be shocked just tells you how out of control trust in the magic boxes and the people who sell them has gotten. When they collect something more sensitive or embarrassing, people just assume the security and regulation is tighter to match.

I was there for Harper; remember the barbaric cultural practices hotline? Remember the fisheries library just being tossed? The only contender for further left is Lester Pearson (by the standards of his time), who brought in the healthcare system. I’m not even being original here, it’s pretty standardly what you’d hear from a pundit.

I’m arguing that the Liberals acting like conservatives makes the conservatives tack even further to the right, and we slide and slide into late stage capitalist hell.

Just looking around the world, I’m certain the right is pulling, not being pushed.

Boooo!

TIL that’s her real first name.

Legally no, although the summary makes me think this article takes an extra expansive view.

Do some people still doubt this?

It shouldn’t. The context was that it was implied to be more than just that.

You can play semantics bud but your posts paint a clear picture

K.

But less people means less services

Yeah, since you’re not being a dick, I have to agree. Nobody remotely objective says the federal government seems overstaffed, kinda the opposite, and Carney seems to really believe in AI as magic pixie dust. They’re probably going to have to scale back their plans once rubber hits the road, and we’ll either get a bigger deficit or new taxes.

What they didn’t cut was everything else. My teeth are still covered, for example. That would not be true of a Conservative budget, which would also cut back things that have been around for decades rather than years, like the CBC.

When I said you were speaking like a liberal it was in response to “tricking” Alberta into increasing the carbon tax. The only time I’ve seen the lead buried that deeply is in LPC press material and from its surrogates. Because…

Hey, some of what you’re saying sounds like an NDP or Green press release. And I’m pretty sure “everyone won” is the current Liberal line, not “we suckered somebody”.

Sure, oil companies win on certain things. They also have to pay a higher carbon tax, which is a big win for the climate. We’ll see if anything comes from Pathways, which would mostly be a win for the climate. Danielle Smith just loses.

Describing Carney as moving Canada toward the centre is absurd, considering what he’s actually doing.

Trudeau was the first or second most left-wing PM ever. What’s to the right of the left?

All of Trudeaus trade-offs and pet projects are gone

The water treatment project is still underway if delayed again; the tree planting will stop at the original billion but it’s not gone. The carbon tax is only gone for consumers. And, like mentioned, dental/pharma care are still around, although that was an NDP policy.

OP said he’s cut everything. No, no he did not. He cut public servant jobs. All kinds of programs were untouched, including the new NDP-sponsored ones.

Which, you’ll notice, says nothing either way about whether that’s desirable.
