"As a canadian" is the smug stuff people hate us for.

That being said, as I canadian, I can't wait for Cannabis to be made illegal again. Legalisation was a mistake.

Everywhere you go now, it stinks. The stuff stinks. And stinks up everywhere it's its smoked, which is basically everywhere now. Make it illegal again.

The heck you talking about ?

Half of our corporate systems are end of line OSes on end of line hardware because it's a specialized application that simply cannot run on anything more modern.

I'm not talking a mom and pop shop either, we're a huge enterprise environment.

Stop making stuff up.

I'm sad that you're both right and will never get any attention from the yahoos infesting Slashdot these days.

Net Neutrality as sold by the FCC was always a scam anyway. It never actually took effect and none of the things it attempted to regulate were even happening nor have happened since. It was a huge waste of bureaucracy and resources.

Meanwhile, the actual platforms that needed to have neutrality baked into, Social media, was spared from the whole ordeal as only carriers were being targetted. Section 230 remains a shield that social media entities use when convenient, while not actually acting in their roles of neutral publisher.

What are you talking about ? I upgraded to Windows 11 without reinstalling and none of my applications or games even broke. You can still run Win32 code written using the 1st edition of Programming Windows 95 for cripe's sake.

Also, your first and second sentences are contradictions. Either it doesn't matter because everything is in the cloud or it does matter because the software you use breaks the norms of what is expected from Windows.

The OS on your computer going EOL and not getting updates anymore won't prevent your PC from booting. Media is acting like laptops all over are just going to be expensive bricks if not switched to Linux or upgraded to Windows 11.

It'll still run just fine as it does today, no worse than peeps who cling to Windows 7.

If the job can be done by a Monkey, why do you expect them to pay more than a Monkey's salary ? Doesn't matter how much "education" you have, your master's thesis on the breathability of Heliox at depths shallower than 934 feet isn't important in your job as Barista and Starbucks isn't going to give you 240k/year just because you spent some time scuba diving and called it an education.

So presidential immunity is fine when Obama drones a few kids or American citizens, but not when Trump makes a phone call saying to count legal votes only. That's your take ?

No wonder the Democrats lost so bad and Labour is getting pile drivered in the satisfaction ratings. Your side is detached from reality.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself said Roe v Wade was bad jurisprudence. There is nothing in the 14th amendment that protects abortion. It was a bad decision period. If Congress wants to make laws, they should make laws, not depend on SCOTUS to legislate from the bench.
