Installing Linux was a good decision.
I have not gone back to Microsoft Windows.
Don't listen to people telling you it's hard. I don't have any IT degree or engineering degree
Installing it was easy. Linux is elegant, secure and powerful. I love it.
China is a dictatorship country with many flaws.
But for too long, Canadians have ignored the vicious American Gorilla standing up at their door.
The Canadian Housing crisis has two sources.
1. Extreme population growth
In 2024, the Canadian population increased by 3%.
This population growth rate means the population of Canada is growing 2 to 3 times faster than the United States, Britain, France, Spain, Colombia, Turkey, Vietnam, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Mexico or Brazil. In fact, Canada is now growing faster than many countries in Africa.
2. Terrible city zoning rules.
Several Canadian cities have rules banning multi-storey housing from being built. Multi-storey housing is significantly more affordable than individual homes. But cities ban it. They simply don't want it. When they do accept multi-storey housing, most Canadian cities often require developers to build parking spots. "You want to build a condo tower without parking spots ? Sorry, we can not accept that". By forcing developers to build parking spots for each condo unit, they artificially drive up the cost of each unit. They basically force condo buyers to subsidize car ownership. It's insane.
The Federal Government needs to reduce the immigration rate. Look, Justin Trudeau did a lot of good things, but his immigration policy was one of his biggest failures. The current immigration rate is simply unsustainable. Canada needs to aim for 1.5% population growth instead of 3%.
But cities shouldn't be left of the hook. They are responsible for half the problem.
I mean, just look at the zoning fight happening at the Ottawa City Council :
Aquafresh is owned by Unilever, which is British.
I despise funding the UK House of Lords.
But it's better than Colgate.
Je n'aime pas Emmanuel Macron. C'est un type arrogant et qui a fait un certain nombre de grosses conneries. Mais il n'est pas pour autant d'extrême droite.
Laisser croire que Macron = Marine Lepen, c'est n'importe quoi.
Tiens c'est pour toi :
La principale différence entre toi et moi, c'est que je fais au moins l'effort de lire le contenu que je poste..... Tu te contente de poster des liens sans même prendre le temps de le consulter.
Ton premier lien porte entièrement sur le Rassemblement National.
Macron est d'extrême droite ?
C'est juste incroyable de lire des trucs pareils...
On sent les mecs qui ne savent rien de la Hongrie, de la Turquie ou de la Russie
Yes, we all need to collectively eat less red meat to reduce emissions enough so Felon musk can eat lunch in Paris 3 times a week
Actually, eating less red meat would also be great for our health:
We need to tax criminal oligarchs AND eat a bit less red meat.
It's not one or the other.
To be clear. This is a government agency endorsing the software as safe and effective. So bureaucrats and employees can't be reprimanded if they use them.
This isn't the French Prime Minister announcing the country will cancel Microsoft Office subscriptions and build a fund to support FOSS projects. Gimp has nowhere near the ressources they actually need.
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from downloading software outside the Microsoft store.
Imagine if Microsoft required all Software developers to give them 30% of their income or be banned from Windows
This is nothing but pure extortion.
Thank god for the EU, which forced Apple to back down:
Fortnite, one of the world's biggest video games, is available as an iPhone app for the first time in four years. However, it will only be available to players in the European Union. This is because EU law requires Apple to allow third-party app stores on its devices - other parts of the world do not have comparable legislation. The game was removed from the App Store in 2020 following a payments row between Apple and Epic.

As for canadians/americans, they are in jail.
Imagine your friend in Europe sends you a phone invite to play .
