Both Jason Kenney and Andrew Scheer, the two prior Conserrvative leaders, also completely blew their chances of winning by relying on the rightwing outrage pipeline and by being completely unlikable as a human beings.
Side story, I worked in government and received an MP complaint against me by a client, and the MP was Jason Kenney. I had to talk to him a bit everyday for a week or so, and he came off as incredibly stupid. Blew my mind a year later when he was on a ballot lol.

When's the last time you tried? I had a hell of a time dual booting in ~2016, but as of the last five years or so I've set up half a dozen dual boots without issue, and Windows (LTSC) hasn't messed up any of the partitions.

What is this disclaimer warning about? I have used LTSC exclusively as a desktop OS since 2019 and everything works. I have not had an instance of something not working that would have otherwise worked on Enterprise or Home, etc. I game in 4k, edit videos, run a jellyfin server, mine monero. I'm confused about what you mean
For $7.50 I'd unironically use a walking buddy at least once
I'm rocking a kei truck for landscaping and home reno projects, and it still uses more gas than I'm happy with. I'd love for someone to make an electric truck that isn't a massive behemoth intended to prove something about my masculinity. Just give me a clean energy box bed to haul my lumber and dirt.
Yeah mine was called the [City Name] Tool Library, and it was a non-profit that was independent of our local library. I imagine that they receive donated tools from contractors and companies around the city.
As an example, I googled a random city name (Calgary) and found one for them as well: https://calgarytoollibrary.org/
There are likely tons of similar organizations throughout Canada (and probably your country as well!)
Have you looked at local LLMs? You can download and run them off your own machine - no connecting to an external server. They aren't any more power intensive than a lot of video games. I downloaded a DeepSeek model and I use ComfyUI to operate it locally
On a whim I googled my city's library and "tools" and I found a non-profit society that specializes in lending of hand and power tools! This is incredible and I wouldn't have known about it without this prompt: thank you!
Outside of steam will be a case by case basis. I wouldn't expect a lot of luck, and it may require that you use a compatibility layer like Wine.
I'm not sure what the google maps export looks like, but no matter how it's formatted I'm sure that a simple Python script will be able to transfer the map markers over to openmaps. I'll look into making this if it doesn't already exist on GitHub. I'd like to transfer my stuff over too.
LineageOS works as well and you can get it running on more phones than Graphene; however, GrapheneOS is superior in terms of security
I genuinely find LLMs to be helpful with a wide variety of tasks. I have never once found an NFT to be useful.
Here's a random little example: I took a photo of my bookcase, with about 200 books on it, and had my LLM make a spreadsheet of all the books with their title, author, date of publication, cover art image, and estimated price. I then used this spreadsheet to mass upload them to Facebook Marketplace in bulk. In about 20 minutes I had over 200 facebook ads posted for every one of my books, which resulted in getting far more money than if I made one ad to sell all the books in bulk; I only had to do a quick review of the spreadsheet to fix any glaring issues. I also had it use some marketing psychology to write attractive descriptions for the ads.

I was a federal tax collector for 8 years. I estimate that I collected somewhere between $50 million to $100 million for my country. It didn't come from 10,000 seniors and single moms, it mostly came from millionaires, organized crime, and foreign directors laundering money and assets through domestic businesses.
If even one of these acts was passed I could see myself personally being able to collect several hundreds of millions more throughout a career. Taxing rich fucks makes me giddy.
What was the game plan here? Wisconsin produces a lot of cheese, so I'll make myself more relatable to the Wisconsin common man by wearing a fucking cheese hat?
This thing is so early 2000s; I kinda love it for that

The thing that I appreciated most about Lemmy and my transition from Reddit is how cordial everyone has been. Even if a comment is taken out of context, people tend not to jump down each others throat and assume the worst, or make bad faith arguments full of fallacies. I've had legitimate back and forths with people, something that basically never happens on Reddit.
'In person' is a weird term. It implies doing something in your 'person form' as opposed to your other forms
A kitty and a Sambar
My beautiful kitty and my almost equally beautiful 2009 Subaru Sambar TT2. This model of Sambar has a turbo and is permanently in 4x4. It also features power windows and locks, A/C, and AIRBAGS =)
In Canada vehicles must be at least 15 years old to be imported, meaning that this vehicle is about as new as you are allowed to get!
I live in a tiny house, and I picked up this bad boy to haul materials and navigate around tight corners on the property. I take the Sambar on the highway frequently, where the max highway speed is 110km/hr. The Sambar can do 110km/hr, but it is much more comfortable doing 100km/hr, and the engine seems happier too.
Insurance cost me $1,300/year for full coverage (comprehensive, liability, and collision) and was fairly easy to get in my province. There is a lot of misinformation online about insurance, and your best bet for figuring it out is to make phone calls to insurance providers. No, the vehicle doesn't have to be classified as commercial; and yo

Kei Docs - Translated Kei Car Manuals
Current Project – Community Manual Archive:\
Hi everyone,
Out of a need to perform mechanical work on my Subaru Sambar, and finding no reliable translations of the manual, I have started translating the car manual myself using various online translation tools.
To share with manual with others I have created a GitHub Pages site intended to host translated kei vehicle manuals and service documentation. The goal is start a free and open community-led movement to make these resources more accessible and searchable for others so they may maintain and understand their kei vehicles.
The site is still in development, but contributions, feedback, and collaborators are very welcome. You can view it here:
https://tlorien.github.io/Kei-Truck-Van-and-Car-Manuals/
I do not intend on translating any future manuals myself (unless I acquire another Kei truck!), so the complete 2009 Subaru Sambar will be my only foreseeable contribution to the repository. Hopefully others will be encourag
Welcome to c/keitrucks — A Home on Lemmy for Kei Enthusiasts!
Hi everyone,
I'm towelie, the creator of this new community, and I’d like to welcome you all. I made this community as Lemmy lacked a space for sharing knowledge, experiences, and enthusiasm around kei cars, trucks, and vans from Japan.
About Me:

I'm a long-time admirer of Japan’s ingenius compact vehicles, and I am currently wrenching on a 2009 Subaru Sambar (TT2). I’m learning as I go, and I wanted to create a space where others could do the same.

Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?
The title's a bit disingenuous, I know: this didn't come out of nowhere. White supremacism is as American as Manifest Destiny and has been heavily intertwined with Nazism from its inception. That overlap with the Republican party, and their gradual slip into the extreme far-right, is evident.
But Seig Heils? Even the most dense among them must know that blatant Nazism hurts their legitimacy in the eyes of the public, even among MAGATs (as is evident right now if you peek at their echo chamber on Reddit). Surely they would have a much easier time pushing their rhetoric and establishing their agenda by keeping a purposeful distance from that sort of indefensible imagery and symbolism. How do they expect to keep cohesion in the military when you imply to the soldiers that they are Nazis now, seig heils and all.
Why Nazis?
Any theories as to where this is coming from? Follow the ketamine-fueled leader? A directive for operative Krasnov, from Putin himself, to implode the country?
Welp, I just apt purge'd damn near everything except the kernel. How's your Friday going?
I hear this is a rite of passage. I made it 4 weeks before I rekt all my shit (it was nvidia related). Where do I claim my sticker?
In all seriousness, now that I understand better these commands that I've been haphazardly throwing around, Id like to do a clean install. God knows what else Ive done to it. Can i just reinstall to my root partition and have my home partition work as expected?
It took me way too long to realize symlinks were a thing and why I couldn't understand my Linux directories
I mean I feel stupid typing it now, but I've been using Windows since I was 5 years old, and Linux for about 30 days. It was not apparent to me that many of my folders were actually shortcuts to stuff in my user directory, and now that I know to look out for them the location of my applications make sooo much more sense.
