  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    Jump

  • I don’t buy band media anymore but I do go out to live shows and buy t-shirts and other merch like nobody’s business.

    Record company middlemen and forever streaming can take a hike.

  • Canada warns First Nations people to carry passport when crossing U.S. border | Globalnews.ca

  • I expect there are strategic reasons why the travel advisory isn’t being updated ahead of the CUSMA review. Once it’s over I have a strong feeling that will change.

    Why do people need the government to tell them not to visit the US? People can read the news and see the travesties happening south of the border.

    Based on polling it’s the people who specifically dislike the government and their messaging that need to stop traveling. An official advisory isn’t going to change many of those minds.

    The one benefit I see of an official advisory is if your work tries to force you to travel. That becomes a lot harder when the official policy is it’s dangerous.

  • CEO of Mistral AI says warnings about extreme risks of artificial intelligence are often 'distraction tactics'

    Jump

  • The risk of intelligence coming from LLMs is zero, let alone superintelligence.

    The danger isn’t some computer mind deciding to destroy us upon its birth. It’s the everyday harm CEOs are doing to the working class and future students by using AI as an excuse to cut jobs and force paid products into education and the hands of young workers at the expense of their own skill development.

  • Trump Mulls a North American Trade Pact Without Canada

    Jump

  • Nobody up here is taking these threats seriously anymore. Manufacturing in the US would immediately crater. So many Americans would lose jobs, and thanks to their bullying isolationism nobody is lining up to replace Canada as a viable trading partner.

    Having no free trade with the US would suck but it’s temporary. Being a vassal state or getting annexed is permanent.

    Maintain current elbow position.

  • Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI | Fortune

    Jump

  • That’s the shitty part. The news always says they have to hire them all back eventually but it’s not guaranteed to be the same group.

    For many, AI is just the latest excuse to downsize and juice the quarterly revenue numbers for shareholders.

  • It's so familiar

    Jump

  • Takes me back to the Square Gamer forum I used to volunteer on. If any of you are still out there, that was a really fun and silly time of teenage life I enjoyed with you.

  • Not feeling very confident, Microslop. The AI dudes usually promise their industry takeovers every six months, not 18.

    Based in CEO claims AI should have replaced me 4-5 times over by now. It’s still shitty. I’m still here.

  • Look how much Canadians hate the United States now

  • In hockey you keep your elbows up to guard against getting knocked around when the game gets rough.

  • AI could wipe out most white-collar jobs within 12 months, Microsoft AI chief warns

    Jump

  • It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.

    They just want investment hype.

  • Canada discreetly puts money down on 14 additional F-35s

    Jump

  • We’re going to need a new term to describe the quantum superposition our elbows are in.

    Maybe elbows m’eh or elbows f’eh.

  • U.S. House votes against Trump's tariffs on Canada

    Jump

  • It’s a good gesture but they need 2/3 of the Senate to overturn the EO. Not holding my breath.

    Only solace is that a lot of red state Senators will be putting party over constituents and hopefully ruining their reelection chances.

  • Conservative MP Jivani says Trump gave him a message for Canadians during Washington trip

    Jump

  • We’ve been reading emails about what he does to people he says he loves.

  • All of them!

    Because the rich can’t technically be taxpayers if they don’t pay in the first place.

  • Latest federal polling numbers from Mainstreet

    Jump

  • At least until the new leadership race has concluded. The country is hungry for an official opposition that can work with government when it’s in the shared national interest.

  • Orion Browser

    Jump

  • Please do. More browsers that aren’t Google-based or Firefox forks make go a healthier ecosystem.

  • No I meant same machine.

  • I like that it can run both Firefox and Chrome extensions. I… don’t like much else about it.

    It seems like it doesn’t use multiple cores efficiently. When I’m taxing my GPU for video transcoding all other web browsers hold up but this one always stalls.

    It’s a shame. I use Kagi for search and id love to see them succeed together but the browser is not yet there. It went “out of beta” officially but not practically.
