Yeah, Canada is literally the only country that has ever razed our capitol. They literally burned down the white house. I mean technically they were British at the time but they were the great great grandparents of today's Canadians. As an American it feels really intensely stupid saber rattling at them when they're friends by default.
What OS did you put on it and what issues have you run into? I've been considering the Pinephone Pro because it seemed both more flexible and cheaper than a Librem.
You and I both know that these precedents get concocted to be selectively applied. There's no concern for the actual letter of the law here, it's just a means to an end.
Maybe she doesn't know it, but how she reacts to this situation is my main test of her suitability as my partner. Nothing is more attractive to me than a woman who can just chill for 15 minutes without complaint while I exportfs -a and restart nfsd.
First part absolutely true. Second part problematic, the Republican enclaves of NYC are not the underprivileged areas and Republican-leaning voters can't participate in the Democratic primary unless they register as Democrat in advance. Underprivileged areas voted Cuomo because they're conditioned to vote for candidates they see as "safe" - A lot of them are black boomers who've seen some shit and feel like they owe their safety to the Democratic establishment - And because of low information.
Crater Lake is closing for five years after this season, for renovations. Good call timing-wise I'd say, kind of like going dormant to avoid harsh conditions. Stay under the radar of the people in power looking to wreck anything remotely good about this country.
The people downvoting you don't understand that they're part of the reason our country keeps doing shit like this. Unwillingness to do some radical self-examination or entertain hard truths about the history of the place they live help ensure that it'll keep happening. A lot of people can only emote at bad things and refuse to understand how or why they occur.
Should we actually get better the long-term broken trust is merited, because if we cannot present a proven way to prevent this from ever happening again then it most certainly will.
Musicians are real people who very often hold live performances in high-population locations, you can see them directly with your eyeballs, hear them directly with your hearholes, and physically hand them actual cash with your flesh and blood hands!
Edit - To the people complaining about ticket company charges: You need to get into your local music scene and the +95% of bands out there who aren't big enough to play venues that have ticket company contracts. There is a world of music out there completely free of that system and you're neglecting it.
That's just false, and is also not the message of the article you linked.
The articles point is not that avoiding enshittification won't make a difference in the amount of enshittification you experience: To the contrary, it affirms that it likely will! The articles point is that personally avoiding enshittification isn't an effective way of combatting the ubiquity of enshittification in society, ie "consumer activism" and "voting with your dollars" cannot create system change.
Most everyone here already knows this, and I imagine you also understood the article just fine and don't need me explaining it to you, but you botched the paraphrase in your link thus seeding a lot of potential confusion and frustration absent some clarification. This is intentionally a thread about personally avoiding enshittification, and that does not imply a rejection of the desire to also end it oestebsibly by other means.
It's also a fallacy that technology always progresses. If technology from 25 years ago serves you better than technology from today, it's the superior technology.
Anyone with enough power has always been able to do whatever they want. Laws aren't magic.
