This sort of ridiculousness is why I got two seperate drives (needed the extra space anyways) and choose which one to boot from the mobo EFI menu.

Government corruption is the reason you can't afford housing and food.

You don't care that the government is playing favorites / effectively sole-sourcing multi-million dollar contracts and just handing out money for effectively nothing to businesses?

Wow. It sounds an awful lot like you don't gives shit about corruption if the end justifies the means.

Fuck, I long for the days that $16 orange juice was a big enough scandal to bring down the government.

Most transparent government ever.

Have you been living under a rock? This has been all over the news for at least 6 months.

Two of the biggest things that the Auditor General found is that the contractor who won the bid to make it helped develop the bid requirements (massive conflict of interest) and the true cost of the program will never be known because record keeping/management of the project was so poor (inc. a significant amount of invoices that were paid without any supporting documentation describing what they were for).

I think you may have missed the point of my comment:

If the rich start getting victimised on a large scale, things will change one way or another.

Law enforcement? Why bother, only poor people are affected by crime.

I mean, this is not strictly true, there's plenty of examples in history where rich people got their asses kicked in various revolutions. Canadians just need to grow some balls.

Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box: use in that order.

(Also, do you think it's a coincidence that the government works so hard to limit access & remove arms from otherwise law-abiding citizens and no political party is stepping up to reverse that in any meaningful way?)

Well, well. I'm glad that the courts in Canada have their head screwed on correctly.

Eh, questionable. There's probably 1 bad decision for every 3-4 good decisions.

And that's not including this whole bail / light sentencing fiasco. Nobody would be calling for mandatory minimums if courts were handing out maximums / near maximums of their own volition on a regular basis.

I would argue conservatives voters are more likely to answer the polls calls as they want to “send a message”

Historically this very incorrect, and most of the Conservatives I know don't trust the polls even if the CPC is ahead and so have no desire to participate.

So do you have anything to actually back that statement up, or is it just a feeling?

What is more pressure going to do? Except for STV, electoral reform is a losing game for the LPC.

Obviously you aren't that old, because it wasn't terribly long ago that they were.

 

Since a Linux client for Drive doesn't appear to be in the works for anytime soon, having folder statistics (ex. # items in the folder, size of data in the folder) available from the web app would be pretty damn useful for figuring out if a given folder matches an offline backup.

(Yes I know that unofficially there's the rclone thing but I tried that and got an "unusual account activity" error).

More broadly, it would be really helpful if Proton worked on base functionality for their existing products rather continuing to launch new products.

 

Probably only regrets in because it makes the Liberals look bad.
