The Kingston, Ontario bus should honestly be the 2 bus to downtown (as of writing it goes from Train station through Queen'sU campus to downtown), it runs half-hourly and doesn't require any walking to the road.

It sounds like you're asking genuinely. Ross' interest is in games, hence that's the area he started it in. He's already stretched to his limit co-ordinating this limited campaign. He also advised to keep the scope limited so that the opposition to it will be mostly from games companies (Nintendo, Sony, Ubisoft, EA etc.) Than from movie companies (Paramount, Disney, Warner Bros. etc.) who will be also pushing as hard, using a lot of lobby money and a whole web of arguments from different fronts, that will be more difficult to deconstruct and rebut.

For other audio and visual content, there are often "analog loopholes" that can preserve media even if in a slightly degraded form no matter how many layers of DRM you put. Games do not have a standard method to do that, so access is unilaterally and permanently taken away without a way for it to have been preserved.

Not gonna watch this but can Mark please take "Daddy" to the seniors' home already, and keep him there?

This guy disregards the lives of women, non-binary, Indigenous, people from foreigners, people that don't believe the same thing as him...

Then he is shocked when his life gets disregarded?

Get angry, but not irrationally.

Give the Carney government and MPs grace by telling them about what change you want to see.

I still have some faith that Carney is smarter than most politicians, that if there is a popular push for more progressive reforms, he would go along with it.

If opposition is limited to "I'm angry that you canceled the DST! I'm angry that you passed Bill 5!" that can be passed off as too vague of a criticism and doesn't really suggest a suitable alternative direction. Carney did a bunch of right wing stuff because they were confident they would get overwhelming house support, he would have something concrete to show for his first two months in this term. The NDP are kind of disarray and the party apparatus lost touch with local, grassroots campaigns that got people to support them. Even former NDP MP Charlie Angus would say as much.

“I can tell you in hindsight, watching what it takes to deal with a disaster like this, my vote would probably be different now.”

How many short tons of cure do we need to spend for Texas to invest in a mere ounce of protection?

Strictly based on where the jagged points are and where the strokes end, I would say the word written was uůẃnwu.

This is a September 2017 editorial article, yet:

It’s strange that we’re at the point where this needs to be said: a black politician is not necessarily the best politician to promote black interests, and a female politician will not necessarily serve women’s interests better than a man would. Race produces a set of lived experiences that inform our political perspective, but identity cannot be used as a mitigating factor for political shortcomings.

And

But writing off Clinton’s leftist critics as necessarily motivated by gender bias was sexist in itself.

Are a couple things that still are pervasive as then among the Democrat party and some of the left, after eight whole years.

Like racism, misogyny, transphobia and other xenophobia come out like a river of sludge from the conservative right wing, and Democrats pick and choose little bits of this bigotry to float in their messaging to write off their critics, as if they were going fishing in this sludge.

I think every bit of thought people put into their purchasing choices is a good thing.

If you can find suitable Canadian replacements to American products, and products from American owned or funded businesses, without going broke, all the power to you. But don't think that if you haven't been able to change all of it that you failed. Each person doing what the can adds up. Encourage people to do it to whatever level they can, suggest Canadian alternatives you use or become aware of.

Unlike a conservative political campaign, Pride is not measured by how much money gets poured in from corporate sponsors.

Yes indeed! 😄

You might be thinking of shareholders.

Here, it means getting input from everyone involved, which does include game publisher corporations and their lobbyists but also includes technical experts like developers and also includes consumers and consumer rights advocates like Ross.

The signature gathering period concludes at the end of this month, then signatures are validated over a period of three months, then consultation happens between stakeholders in the months after that, and then eventually a rule is developed.

Go Councillor! Go Fediverse!

Good reporters only talk about how Trump is such a gweat wittle pwesident.

Good catch, seems like an oversight.

Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

Now it is past 1.3M!

Meh, I see it as Carney as throwing the provinces a bone and an "attaboy" for collaborating. Costs him nothing to do.

Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.
