On a related note, FOSS suffers from massive positive externality market failure. As a result we underinvest in it.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I'll share what I do. I'm using SaltStack to do config management and one of my salt states brings all packages up to date. This is done every 24 hours. I'm not suggesting you install SaltStack just for that but rather pointing out for people who use config management tools that those might be able to handle unattended upgrades.

Aren't we a net beneficiary of it? I imagine the US and UK do most of the illegal shit.

Interesting. I'm curious to hear critique on the author's arguments if anyone's got the time for it. Most of what they say sounds somewhat substantiated but I don't know enough to judge whether there are any glaring omissions. One thing that's obvious is that the share of state-owned enterprises has steadily decreased over time even if it's still a quarter of the economy.

It might not be. If your fingerprints are physically changing, then an accurate scanner should not recognize a fingerprint that's changed after the fact. If anything you're looking for a less accurate scanner to help with this issue. But a less accurate scanner could let others in your phone too.

A family member is a massage therapist and no fingerprint reader has managed to recognize their fingers. Not even the old capacitive types in the rear. They don't even recognize there's a fingerprint present. It's like tapping with a wiener.

At least it'll put the GOPers on record rejecting it.

I recently read that Kyriakos Mitsotakis has done quite a bit of damage to Greek labor over the years. I don't see this ending positively long term.

We repeat that every time this chart looks like this. Which is almost every election. We even elected a guy on the promise to change it. 🥹

Not sure why this is down voted. This is exactly what happened. Trudeau ran on electoral reform in 2015. That was gonna be the last FPTP election, he said. Then they did some consultations with the public and said that not enough people wanted it. Shortly after, they threw the whole thing down the garbage chute.

I find Windows significantly less convenient than Linux. It took a few years for my mindset to flip but there's just no going back. Whenever something requires me to use Windows, I reach for a Windows virtual machine. Whenever I've been forced to use a Windows or a Mac machine for work, I've reached for a Linux virtual machine.

Rental prices rose 0.9 per cent in May from the previous month. That brought the yearly pace of rent increases up to 8.9 per cent, with rent being the second-largest annual contributor to inflation.

Mortgage interest costs slowed very slightly to 0.8 per cent in May from April, and brought the annual pace of increases to 23.3 per cent.

Meanwhile the LPC oppose the bill while the CPC would work to amend it.

Turnout was around 25%, which isn't surprising in a by-election.

I don't have a better source than NatPo. If anyone's aware of a better one, post it.
