I'm not, I've hated them since they bought out SimpleTax and made filing my taxes less fucking simple. Still mad about it years later. Anyway, they're an investment company with all of the baggage that comes with, so it doesn't surprise or disappoint me at all that they're lobbying for deregulation.

You shouldn't need to make a post, just private message a sub moderator.

It would have if he had gotten real treatment instead of just eating fruit. He literally had the only type of pancreatic cancer that we could treat at the time.

And that's totally fine. I didn't say you're not good. Perfect writing isn't necessary, I'm just giving my opinion since you did ask in the post whether you had bad writing.

At the end of the day, a lot of OCR models were mostly trained on typeset text, so it makes sense that a general purpose model wouldn't be very good at recognizing handwriting that looks non-standard, so to speak.

I mean no offense at all, but your handwriting is not good. It's somewhat legible but that's the highest opinion I have of it. That said, maybe the dot paper is interfering with the scan?

The Shopify CEO that's hated by a ton of people due to COVID layoffs and shuttering the Waterloo office? And the Financial Post, the magazine for rich people who still suck Elon's cock? Not very representative of "most Canadian businesses," IMO.

I have everything containerized (Podman) on my Debian PC and use Diun to check for updates and send notifications to a Discord server that I monitor. I do all of my updates manually so I don't update unless I have time to troubleshoot; if it breaks I still have the configs and data so I can delete the container and start over.

I also do monthly backups to cold storage (yeah, they should be weekly/biweekly but it's just personal data that I'm okay with losing). I don't use a RAID config or BTFS/ZFS like some do, so it's pretty easy to just set it and forget it. It really depends on what you're trying to do, how bulletproof it needs to be, and how you like to organize things.

Ooooh, do Ontario next! (Yes, I know who is in power... A man can dream.)

I'm willing to bet that the average Apex player is not a big enough nerd to even install Mint, the friendliest of distros, to cheat in the game. Linux accounts for what, ~2.5% of Steam users total? Come on.

Unfortunately, due to the FPTP system, forming a coalition between the Liberals and the NDP is just not feasible because the Liberals don't want to cooperate unless they absolutely have to, which is rare because they are de facto in power about 50% of the time (usually a majority government, so there's no reason to cooperate).

The remaining "third party" options are either a) ideologically dissimilar to the NDP and would be unlikely to form a coalition with them, or b) have such a low chance of forming government that a coalition with them would not be politically advantageous.

For example, forming a coalition with the Greens or Bloc Quebecois would likely lead to a lot of concessions on the environment and on Francophone language rights that are simply not popular with NDP leadership, who are overwhelmingly swinging centrist (who knows why, really, it's extremely weird to see them campaign on worker protections one day while advocating for corporations the next).

The closest they've gotten to a coalition recently is a "supply and confidence agreement" with the minority Liberal government, which turned out to be pretty toothless and ended when the Liberals just... didn't really do anything the NDP wanted, lol.

While I don't disagree, the ONDP and the federal NDP are a lot closer in ideology IMO than, say, the BCNDP and the federal NDP.

Since I live in Ontario and there's an election coming up provincially as well as federally, their constant failures are at the forefront of my mind and I think the provincial strategy is relevant to mention here since it ultimately shares a lot in common with the federal one. The federal NDP has been shockingly silent on Palestine for many years, well predating the most recent stage of the conflict.

All of this is just my opinion, though. If you want to keep them separate that's your business.

Did they check if they have a state capitol? They probably don't need to if their country doesn't have states.
