They were just waiting for Microsoft to add advertisements to Windows so they can do the same. Now it can be a new revenue channel and will see the light of day.

The Windows Webcam camera settings, when I finally find them on Windows 11 to control pan and zoom, have been the same for 25 years, maybe 30. The thing is, it used to be easy to find the controls, but they keep making Windows slower & harder to use. It’s such a rat nest.

Everyone is too busy doomscrolling TikTok to notice.

I use FolderSync. Works well and I prefer one app synchronizing files than 6. I still use the Nextcloud app for files I don’t sync that I need access to, but overall it’s really bad. The camera upload erased a ton of my pictures on a vacation. I deleted the synced pictures on my phone storage and the Nextcloud app overwrote the images as the new photos had the same file name.

I use Linux, so encryption is easy with LUKS, and Free File Sync to drives that rotate to a safety deposit box at the bank for catastrophic event, such as a house fire. Usually anything from the last few months are still on my mobile devices.

Used by spineless weasels when it something that they could have avoided, or can still be solved but they are too scared or stupid to say anything.

I think OpenAI’s recent sycophant issue has cause a new spike in these stories. One thing I noticed was these observations from these models running on my PC saying it’s rare for a person to think and do things that I do.

The problem is that this is a model running on my GPU. It has never talked to another person. I hate insincere compliments let alone overt flattery, so I was annoyed, but it did make me think that this kind of talk would be crack for a conspiracy nut or mentally unwell people. It’s a whole risk area I hadn’t been aware of.

It’s a distraction from all the things for which she should fry for.

Not at all. Another ‘coalition government’, which wasn’t a coalition govt, is rage fodder for the lunatics.

Trudeau made several major mistakes including appointing a journalist to be finance minister. He overstayed his welcome since 2021 and conspiracy theorists made hay with the idea that he was never going to step down, that there would never be an election, or that he would somehow make himself a dictator. None of these things happened, but the brainwashed now think that Trudeau is controlling Mark Carney with fluoride, chemtrails and a 5G cell phone. Or maybe its been the other way the whole time!!! So stupid, but that doesn't explain the high number of Canadians that voted for Polievre.

Trudeau isn't the king of the Liberal party, but for a while he was running it as though he was. Reality sunk in, he finally stepped down, but many people want to punish the Liberals and it's understandable. Assuming this government lasts 2-4 years, Trudeau will be ancient history.

Carney is not Trudeau, and if his ideas work, then he'll bring people around. The NDP will find a new leader, they have firm roots and will regain their footing.

The CPC will hopefully realize the reason it has Multiple Personality Disorder is because it is a group of people with conflicting values and ideals.that agreed to bind themselves together to defeat the Liberal party in our first past the post system. Strapping the fanatical right wing fringe of the country to the PC party has failed to win over and over. Its time to give up, perhaps this latest loss will finally tear apart their unnatural abomination.

And if I were to dream a little dream, we'd have proportional representation and never have another majority government ever again.

 

Who says the government isn’t efficient?

 

Pierre Polievre's own uncle-in-law crossed Roxham Road on foot in 2018.

After failing to get his refugee claim approved, he appears to have lived undocumented in Canada with a deportation order in his name. 

According to documents obtained by The Breach, Poilievre’s relative—the uncle of his wife, Anaida Poilievre—received help from her and an undisclosed MP’s office in 2021 in his efforts to get permanent residency.

WTH?!?
